Composite Bonding Compared With Ceramic Restorations: Before and After

Seeing your smile change from chipped to neat gives an amazing boost when looking in the mirror. Lots of patients pop into our Aldershot practice asking about the before and after differences between composite bonding and ceramic restorations.

Here is the before and after story with composite bonding.

Before treatment, a patient often brings in a jagged tooth corner from a bump or an awkward little dark gap. Bonding uses pliable white resin paste. We press soft resin over the flaw, smooth the borders by hand, and set it rock solid under a blue lamp in seconds without drilling into natural enamel.

Notice what happens before and after ceramic restorations.

Before ceramic care, a tooth is often worn down from heavy chewing or darkened by an old filling. Our ceramist bakes tough dental porcelain to fit neatly over the tooth stub. When cemented into place, you can chew crusty bread without fear of cracks for fifteen years.
