Your treatment journey

Prior to your consultation with one of our professional cosmetic dentists, we can offer a free virtual or in-house chat with one of our friendly and knowledgeable treatment coordinators, who can:

Give you an introduction to a chosen treatment or help guide you through various options that can be available.

Listen to your expectations of treatment.

Outline the costs involved.

Reassure anxious patients.

Be a point of contact for you throughout the treatment process.

Step 1: Consultation

Your consultation (30-60 mins) allows us to understand what you’d like to change about your smile. Your dentist will assess the aesthetics of your smile, observing how your teeth sit together and their shape and shade.

Images and scans of your teeth may be digitally taken, allowing us to design how the composite resin will create a new and more natural-looking smile.

A bespoke trial smile is produced for more comprehensive transformations, allowing us to make any small adjustments before the composite bonding process begins. This trial smile is shown both digitally and can also be tried in your mouth to allow you to have an accurate idea of how things will look after treatment. You have full control in full makeover cases, as you can choose the shape, size, and colour of the teeth.

Step 2: Your treatment appointment

The composite resin is ready to be fitted to your teeth. Your teeth will be conditioned, and the layers of the composite will be added piece by piece. This gradual application allows your dentist to recreate the life-like appearance of real enamel, leaving you with beautiful, newly restored teeth. The composite is hardened with a blue UV light, which sets the resins in place.

1. Can composite bonding be done in one appointment?

One of the reasons many of our patients opt for composite bonding over treatment with porcelain veneers is that it can take just one appointment for many cases. You won’t have to wait 2-3 weeks between appointments to have your teeth restored.

2. Can I have composite bonding and teeth whitening together?

Yes. This is a common combination of treatments. If you would like to fix a cracked or chipped tooth with composite bonding but also wish to whiten your whole smile, the whitening process will need to come first. This is because composite resin won’t respond to the whitening gel. Once your teeth are whiter, we can use the composite bonding process to address the other aesthetic issues with your tooth or teeth and match the colour to your new bright smile.

3. Why choose Yourdental Wellness for composite bonding treatment?

Our cosmetic dentists here in Islington will closely study the anatomy of your smile to ascertain how to use the composite resin to rejuvenate and enhance your smile. We consider the composite bonding process as a fine art and science that should marry together precision and a natural aesthetic. Everything about your treatment will be fully personalised (we don’t do ‘patients’, we do ‘people’!)

Yourdental Wellness is open 7 days a week, as our team understand our patients can’t always make it to us during the week. We also believe outstanding dentistry should be accessible to all, and therefore offer 0% finance to help you spread the cost of your chosen treatment.
