Question 1

Do I need to have a professional teeth cleaning before composite bonding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, professional teeth cleaning is necessary in most cases before bonding. Clean teeth are essential for the composite material to adhere optimally and for the aesthetic result to remain beautiful long-term. During the preliminary examination, we determine whether a dental hygiene session is needed.

Question 2

Should I have bleaching done before bonding?

Accepted Answer

Bleaching before bonding can definitely make sense, so that the tooth color harmonizes with the new composite material. The composite is color-matched to your existing teeth. If you want whiter teeth, bleaching should be done beforehand so we can choose the right color for the bonding.

Question 3

Can composite bonding be performed on any tooth?

Accepted Answer

Bonding is only possible on healthy teeth. Before treatment, we conduct a thorough examination to rule out cavities, gum disease, or other problems. If necessary, we treat these conditions first before starting the bonding – otherwise the material would not adhere properly.

Question 4

How long does the preparation before the actual bonding take?

Accepted Answer

The preparation depends on the condition of your teeth. Professional teeth cleaning takes about 45-60 minutes, while bleaching can require one to several sessions depending on the method. The initial examination and discussion of the individual treatment plan takes approximately 30 minutes.

Question 5

What is checked during the preliminary examination for composite bonding?

Accepted Answer

During the preliminary examination, we carefully inspect your teeth: Are there cavities, gum diseases, cracks, or chips? We also check for discoloration, crooked teeth, or other irregularities that need to be corrected. At the same time, we discuss your individual wishes and create a customized treatment plan.
