Details of what a composite-build is can be seen below...
Composite build-up (also known as composite bonding) is a conservative, non-invasive dental procedure that uses tooth-coloured resin to restore, reshape, or improve the appearance of teeth. It is used to repair chips, close gaps, mask discoloration, and rebuild worn-down teeth without needing significant tooth reduction.
Key Aspects of Composite Build-ups
Procedure: A tooth-coloured resin is applied to the tooth, sculpted to the desired shape, and hardened with a specialised blue light.
Benefits: It is quick (often one visit), requires little to no enamel removal, and is typically cheaper than porcelain veneers.
Uses: Ideal for fixing minor damage, reducing gaps, changing tooth shape, and covering imperfections.
Longevity: Composite bonding typically lasts between three to 10 years, depending on oral hygiene, habits, and location of the tooth.
Maintenance: While the resin doesn't decay, it can stain and may require regular polishing or maintenance.
Common Reasons for Composite Build-ups:
Chips and Cracks: Restoring broken edges.
Closing Gaps: Filling gaps between teeth (diastema).
Shaping: Reshaping uneven or short teeth.
Wear: Replacing enamel lost to grinding or erosion.
This restorative treatment is particularly effective for improving the aesthetics of upper front teeth, though it can be used throughout the mouth.
