Did you know that as many as half of all British people are self-conscious about their smiles? In fact, many are so self-conscious of their teeth that they may even keep themselves from smiling, or will cover their mouth with their hand when laughing. Most of these insecurities stem from yellowed, cracked, or otherwise damaged teeth.

This, of course, is no way to live a happy life, so what options are available to make teeth look better? To get the Hollywood smile that many obsess over, composite bonding, London, can be an easy and affordable option. However, you may be wondering what composite bonding really is and if it’s the right option for you.

Luckily, you’ve clicked on the right article to have all of your composite bonding questions answered. Here, you’ll learn all about how composite bonding works, the composite bonding cost, and if it’s the right option for you to achieve your smile makeover.

To begin, let’s take a closer look at what composite bonding is about.

What Is Composite Bonding

There are many dental procedures that can fix the appearance of cracked, chipped, or yellowed teeth. Some of these procedures include crowns and veneers, however, these procedures can be very costly. If you can’t afford these options for your teeth, does that mean you’re out of luck?

Not at all. If you don’t have the funds to buy yourself veneers or crowns, dental bonding is a very affordable option in comparison. More than that, the end result will more or less look the same: you’ll have white and attractive teeth that you’ll no longer be self-conscious about.

However, how is composite bonding different from getting veneers or crowns?

Understanding Crowns and Veneers

Crowns protect and improve the appearance of damaged teeth. When getting crowns, your dentist will place them over your damaged teeth, much like a cap. First, however, your tooth will be sanded down so the crown can fit snugly over it.

Crowns are usually done when usual fillings can’t fix your degree of tooth damage. When getting veneers, your teeth need a little sanding down, transforming their shapes into small stubs, much in the same way as when you get dental crowns.

However, the veneers, instead of covering your entire tooth, attach with a concrete adhesive to the front of your tooth stub. This will give you the same look as crowns when it comes to achieving those rows of pearly whites.

While both of these procedures can help you get natural and healthy-looking teeth, there are a few downsides you should keep in mind. Besides the price tag, a major disadvantage is that they can take a long time to complete. For example, with veneers, it may take weeks just for the veneer moulds to arrive at your dentist’s office.

The procedure of applying the veneers themselves can take several hours. Crowns can take equally long to get, if not longer.

If you have a busy schedule, the idea of taking such huge chunks of time out of your life will not be a very attractive option. This is where we can take a look at the many benefits of composite bonding teeth instead.

How Does Composite Bonding Work

Composite bonding, as the name suggests, uses a kind of material known as composite resin. Your dentist will choose the resin to match your tooth colour or it will be a bit whiter so it can have the best effects on your smile. A major benefit of this composite resin is that it can be used immediately.

Because of this, there is no need to wait weeks for moulds of your teeth to be processed and sent back to your dentist to create certain shapes to apply to your teeth. If you’re worried about saving on time, this will be a great relief for you. However, how can you get natural and beautiful teeth without dental moulds?

The trick is with the composite resin itself, since it is highly mouldable, as long as it doesn’t dry out. Because of this, your dentist can shape it into any form to cover your teeth and produce a more appealing dental form. You might be wondering if your teeth will need sanding such as with crowns and veneers.

The answer is no. The only preparation your dentist will need to complete is roughing up your teeth a little with a sander. The shape of your teeth will not be altered.

The use of the sander is necessary, because by roughing up the surface of your teeth, the composite resin will be able to stick better. This will lower the risk of the composite bonding falling or chipping off at a later time.

Because the sanding is very superficial, it should not be painful. You won’t need to worry about being put under by anaesthesia as is usually the case when getting crowns or veneers. This is great news, because you will be able to drive home from the dentist yourself.

What Should You Expect From The Composite Bonding Procedure?

You already know that your teeth need sanding when getting your teeth bonded, but what else should you expect? After your teeth get roughed up, your dentist will add an adhesive to the surface of your teeth. This adhesive is non-toxic, so you won’t need to worry about any adverse health effects from the adhesive.

The next step up applying the composite resin to your teeth. Your dentist will be able to sculpt the resin into the desired shape so your teeth can look as natural as possible. The resin can be applied over an entire tooth, or it can be used to fill in a chip or crack in your teeth.

Once the resin is applied, to help it dry and harden, the dentist will usually shine a UV light over your teeth. As the resin is drying, the dentist can continue to shape the tooth if you’re not quite satisfied with the results yet.

Depending on how many teeth you want to have bonded, the procedure can take anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours. However, because of the simplicity of dental bonding, you will require far fewer visits to the dentist. In fact, after you get your teeth bonded, you will likely only need to have yearly dental check-ups to make sure your teeth and composite bonds are both in good health.

You will certainly see an impressive difference regarding your composite bonding before and after. No matter whether you get only a few teeth bonded or all of them, you’ll always see a great improvement.

Is Composite Bonding a Good Choice For You

At this point, you may be asking yourself, “I’m interested in composite bonding near me, but how do I know if they’re a good option for me?” While dental bonding is an ideal choice for many, there are some cases in which dental bonding may not be a good option.

For example, if you suffer from severe tooth decay, composite bonding would not be a good choice for you. This is because composite bonding will not help the health of your teeth, since they only help to improve the appearance of your teeth. Applying composite resin to decaying teeth would only mask the problem.

It’s best to make sure your teeth are in good health before attempting any cosmetic dental procedure. If you have any cavities, your cavities will need to be drilled and filled before applying composite resin.

If you ignore your cavities when opting for composite bonding, your cavities will become a much more serious problem later on.

If you are missing a tooth, dental bonding would not be a good choice for you. This is because, since you are missing a tooth, there will be nothing to apply the composite resin to. Instead, dental implants are recommended.

Composite bonding can be great for chipped teeth. However, if your tooth is severely chipped, composite bonding may not be able to fix the appearance as much as necessary.

Also, consider the colour of your teeth. Composite bonding can help improve the colour of your teeth, but it may not be the best option if your teeth are very yellow. Since your dentist will try to choose composite resin that is most similar to your natural tooth colour, if you want whiter teeth, be sure to make this clear before you go through the procedure.

Smile makeovers

Your smile is the first thing people will notice about you – why not see how Dentist@W2 can help you to make a truly stunning first impression, with one of our popular smile makeovers?

 Book Online Now

What is a smile makeover?

We offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments that are all aimed at perfecting your smile. Depending on your particular needs, your dentist will recommend one or more of a selection of those treatments that will give you a whiter, straighter, more radiant smile.

Our smile makeovers are designed to improve the overall appearance of your whole mouth including your teeth and gums, for which a combination of treatments may be recommended.

Some of the treatments that are available are as follows:

  • Veneers to even out the shape of your teeth
  • Structural repairs to remedy broken or missing teeth, such as bridges, dental implants, crowns or dental bonding
  • White fillings for any decay detected
  • Tooth straightening, such as the removable, transparent Invisalign system
  • Contouring of the teeth and gums to make them appear straighter and more uniform
  • Tooth whitening to create a dazzling smile

How does a smile makeover work?

During an initial consultation with your dentist, you can explain what aspects of your smile you feel unhappy with, or what you would like to be altered. At Dentist@W2 we pride ourselves on listening carefully to what our patients want, so that we can meet their needs – much of our business comes from word-of-mouth advertising as our patients recommend us to their friends and family, and it is very important for us to make sure that our patients are pleased with their results.

When your dentist has listened to your concerns and examined your mouth, they will be able to make recommendations about what treatments will work best to achieve the results you hope for.

Will a smile makeover work for me?

If you are in generally good health, all of our smile makeover treatments should be suitable for you. Your dentist will take full details of your health at your initial appointment and will examine your mouth to ensure that your teeth, gums and jaw are all healthy enough to proceed with the recommended treatments.

How long does a smile makeover take?

This depends on exactly which treatments are undertaken. You may only need one or two minor treatments, which can be completed within a single appointment. Your dentist will always use the most conservative and least-invasive treatments available to achieve the desired result. If you need treatments such as structural repairs or teeth straightening, your smile makeover may take several appointments to complete. Full details will be discussed with you at your initial appointment so that you can make an informed decision about which treatments you wish to undertake.

Contact us to discuss a smile makeover

If you feel that your smile could be perfected or enhanced, call us or use our contact form to get in touch and arrange an initial appointment. We offer a free initial consultation, at which your dentist can describe the treatments they recommend to achieve the results you want.

General and routine dentistry

Healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile. We offer a range of cosmetic treatments that can straighten, whiten or restore your teeth, but all of these require strong, healthy teeth and gums to begin with. At Dentist@W2, our dentists work hard to help all of our patients improve routine oral hygiene at home, and encourage regular check-ups to spot early signs of decay and ensure that your teeth will stay in good shape.

 Book Online Now

What is general and routine dentistry?

Routine dentistry

It is important to see your dentist regularly for routine check-ups. We also invite all new patients to attend an initial check-up. During these appointments, our skilled and highly-experienced dentists are not only looking for any decay or build-up of plaque and tartar, but for early signs of oral cancer.

Oral cancer symptoms are often not noticeable to the patient but can be detected through careful examination during your routine appointment using our specialist equipment.

Using examinations and, if necessary, x-rays, we can check the full overall health of your teeth, gums and mouth. If any flaws are discovered, we will discuss with you the range of treatment options available and work out a plan of care with you.

General dentistry

We offer several treatments that we categorise as general dentistry. These are treatments that aim to correct any imperfections in the health or structure of your teeth. These include:

Fillings

Regular check-ups with our dentists will allow us to detect if decay has led to a cavity, in which case you may need a filling. As cosmetic dentists, we try to avoid amalgam fillings as they can affect the colour of your teeth and detract from the natural beauty of your smile. We therefore offer white fillings, which are strong, long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing. Applied under local anaesthetic, the procedure does not hurt.

Root canal treatment

Untreated tooth decay or trauma can lead to an infection of the ‘pulp’ of your tooth, which can cause an abscess to form, with all the associated pain and discomfort that this can create. To resolve the problem, the pulp may need to be removed and the root canal system filled. If your dentist has identified that root canal treatment is necessary, they will remove the pulp under local anaesthetic. A temporary filling may be placed until the infection and inflammation have subsided. At that point, the root canal filling can be applied. If necessary, your dentist may also recommend the application of a crown after the root canal treatment. This will protect the tooth from breaking and will also restore the appearance of your tooth afterwards.

Extractions

We try wherever possible to retain your natural teeth. However, sometimes it is necessary to remove unhealthy or damaged teeth and replace them with natural-looking, custom-made replacements such as bridges, implants or dentures. Similarly, if you are experiencing pain from wisdom teeth, these may need to be extracted. All extractions are done with the utmost care: anaesthetic will ensure that you will feel no pain and our dentists’ skill and experience mean that your tooth will be gently eased out of position, with no uncomfortable or distressing tugging. If an extraction is necessary, your dentist will discuss with you the options available for replacing your tooth (if necessary) and agree a treatment plan that suits your preferences and budget.

How do general and routine dentist appointments work?

We are currently welcoming new patients to our practice in central London. We invite all new patients to attend an initial appointment where you will be given an examination to check the state of your teeth and oral health, and to see whether any treatments would be of benefit to you. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, this will also be addressed.

All of our new and existing patients are encouraged to attend six-monthly or annual routine appointments so that we can keep a close eye on the health of your teeth. Our aim is to prevent the need for major treatment by keeping your teeth strong and healthy through good-quality oral hygiene and routine maintenance.

We understand that patients sometimes feel anxious about dental treatment, perhaps because of negative childhood experiences. If you are worried about having any form of dental treatment, for any reason, please let us know when you contact us to arrange your appointment. We can offer a range of effective, gentle sedation options that will help you to relax during your appointment.

Will general and routine dentistry work for me?

All of our patients will benefit from having regular check-ups and, where necessary, having minor dental issues addressed by our experienced, proficient dentists.

How long do general and routine dental appointments take?

A routine appointment should take no longer than 30 minutes. Appointments for general dentistry treatments such as fillings, extractions and root canal surgery can last 45 minutes or longer – your dentist will be able to give you a more accurate time estimate at your consultation.

Contact us

To arrange a routine check-up, whether you are a new or existing patient, please call us on 020 3944 5921 or use our contact form and we will organise an appointment at a time to suit you.

If you are in pain or discomfort, or if an issue is identified by your dentist at a routine appointment that needs to be addressed, call us or complete our contact form and we can arrange a suitable appointment. We also offer out-of-hours or same-day appointments for emergencies.

Dental Hygienist Appointment in Marylebone

Hygienist/preventative treatments

What are hygienist/preventative treatments?

At Dentist@W2 we firmly believe that prevention is better than cure, and to support you in maintaining your teeth we offer a range of services designed to keep your teeth clean, white and healthy.

Our experienced, highly-qualified hygienists provide thorough teeth-cleaning during annual or six-monthly appointments using the latest equipment and methods to maximise efficiency whilst keeping discomfort to a minimum. Your hygienist will remove any plaque and tartar and will also carefully examine your gums for any problems.

We take our duty to be observant for the early signs of oral cancer very seriously as without early detection, this type of cancer can become untreatable. Your dentist will also monitor for these signs during your normal check-ups, which are also vital for preventing tooth decay or gum disease.

 Book Online Now

How do preventative treatments work?

Your hygienist will meticulously carry out deep cleaning of your teeth, resolving any problems you may have (or may develop without care), including:

  • Plaque/tartar build up (which lead to decay)
  • Bleeding gums
  • Stained teeth
  • Bad breath

Your hygienist and your dentist will also give you advice on how best to keep your teeth clean and healthy at home on a daily basis.

Will preventative treatments work for me?

Even with thorough cleaning and regular check-ups and hygienist appointments, you can experience problems with your teeth and gums as a result of your lifestyle, illness or injury. We will always use the least-invasive, most conservative treatment options available whenever your teeth do require restoration. For most people, though, following our advice on diet and oral hygiene practices, plus regular visits to see our dentists and hygienists, will ensure that teeth and gums remain strong, white and healthy for life.

How long do preventative treatments work?

An annual or six-monthly check-up with your dentist will usually take no longer than 20 minutes. An appointment with your hygienist (which can be arranged to take place shortly before or after your check-up) will take around 30 minutes.

Daily brushing and flossing should take around 5 minutes, twice a day.

Contact us

To arrange a check-up or appointment with our hygienists, please call us or use our contact form and we will arrange a time that suits you. If you are experiencing difficulties with your teeth that you think may require treatment, please discuss these or mention them on your form so that an appropriate appointment may be made – we offer free initial consultations for new patients seeking treatment.

Dentures

With good oral hygiene and regular visits to us for check-ups, tooth loss does not need to be an ordinary part of growing older. For our patients who have lost teeth despite every effort to keep them, we offer dental implants, bridges and dentures. Which option is most suitable to you will depend on a range of issues, including the health of your jaw and gums, your general health, your personal preferences and your budget. All options will be discussed with you so that you can make an informed decision.

What are dentures?

If dentures are the preferred option, it is important that you know that modern dentures are a world away from the image you probably have in your mind. Our dental technicians will work hard to custom-make dentures that take into account not only the colour of your natural teeth but also the shape of your mouth and face, in order to create dentures that look entirely natural and fit perfectly.

Once your new dentures have been made and fitted, your smile will be rejuvenated and you can have confidence in your smile. Your new dentures will fit comfortably and securely, and be strong enough to allow you to eat whatever you would normally choose to eat.

How do dentures work?

Made of acrylic resin or chrome, you may be fitted with bespoke partial or full dentures depending on the number of teeth that need to be replaced, and their location.

By taking impressions your dentist can create a real-life model of your whole mouth in order to create your dentures. Using these impressions plus photographs of your face, dentures will then be crafted ready to be fitted during a further appointment.

Will dentures work for me?

If you are lacking several teeth or need several teeth to be extracted, perhaps due to illness, decay or injury, then dentures can prove a cost-effective, non-invasive means of replacing them. You can have a partial denture (which fits over your upper or lower gums) or full denture depending on your needs.

With good care, your dentures will last for many years, though over time the shape of your face and mouth will naturally alter with age and you may need further dentures to be crafted to ensure that they continue to fit snugly and securely. For a more permanent solution, we also offer dental implants, which can be discussed with you at your consultation.

How long do dentures take to make and fit?

The treatment time depends on your circumstances. If you need to have teeth extracted, your gums will need time to heal and any swelling to subside before impressions can be taken and your dentures prepared. This could take a couple of months, during which time it may be possible to fit you with a temporary set of dentures.

Otherwise, you may need up to four appointments: the first and second to sit comfortably whilst impressions and a record of your bite are taken. The third to try in a mock–up of your new dentures, and the fourth to to have your newly-crafted dentures fitted into place. The time between those appointments is likely to be just one to two weeks.

Contact us about dentures

If you are missing teeth or require extractions and want to discuss treatment options to restore your smile, call us or use our contact form and we will arrange a convenient appointment. We offer free initial consultations, during which a range of options, including dentures, will be discussed with you so that the best possible treatment plan can be devised.

Missing teeth can damage your confidence, make you less willing to smile and also have an impact on your speech and ability to eat. Furthermore, your other teeth can sometimes move slightly to fill the gap, leaving you with crooked teeth, and plaque can build up in the gaps where your toothbrush cannot reach leading to decay. Therefore it is very important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible.

At Dentist@W2 we will always try to preserve your teeth and, where necessary, repair or restore them using white fillings, root fillings, crowns or veneers. However, if teeth are lost through severe decay or an accident, we are highly experienced in fitting dental implants to provide you with a secure, permanent solution to missing teeth.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are posts made from titanium that are placed into your jawbone. To these metal posts, a crown is fitted that is perfectly colour matched to your surrounding teeth so that it will appear as though it is a natural tooth. It will fit securely and comfortably and it will be easy for you to forget that it is not your own tooth.

How do dental implants work?

Under local anaesthetic, your implantologist (a dentist who is specifically qualified and trained to perform this procedure) will install the dental implant by securing it to your jawbone through your gum. The local anaesthetic will ensure that you do not feel any discomfort, and any mild pain you may feel afterwards can be easily remedied with over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen.

Your gum will need time to heal before a bespoke crown can be fitted, though it may be possible to fit a temporary crown over the implant whilst you heal and your implant becomes firmly embedded.

As soon as you are ready for your permanent crown, your dentist will take an impression of your mouth so that a custom-made crown can be created.

Will dental implants work for me?

Dental implants can be used to replace single teeth or several teeth. Your dentist will need to examine your mouth and bone structure to decide whether or not dental implants will be suitable for you. They will discuss all available options with you so that you can make an informed decision about the best treatment to choose.

How long do dental implants take?

You may need several appointments during the course of your treatment. At the first, you will be assessed to see whether dental implants will be a viable option, and if so you may be fitted with the dental implant. It can then take several weeks for you to heal and for the dental implants to become firmly embedded in your jaw. After this, you will need a further appointment to take an impression of your mouth so that a crown can be made for you. At your final appointment, your crown will be fitted and you will have a secure, natural-looking new tooth.

Teeth Whitening in Paddington

Over time, your teeth may become stained or yellowed by the food and drink you consume every day, or by exposure to cigarette smoke. Having whiter, brighter teeth can greatly improve your confidence and self-esteem and give you a smile that you can be proud of. At Dentist@W2, we offer regular scale-and-polish appointments with our experienced dentists and hygienists, and we are pleased to also offer the latest in teeth whitening treatments to really bring out your teeth’s natural beauty.

Contact us to discuss teeth whitening

If you are interested in having your teeth whitened, perhaps to make your smile dazzle at a forthcoming event or just because you desire a brighter, whiter smile, call us or use our contact form to arrange a mutually-convenient appointment at our central London practice.
