Composite Bonding for Tooth Wear in Shepton Mallet
Composite Bonding for Tooth Wear in Shepton Mallet
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive way to improve the look of tooth wear. At Paulton Dental & Implant Centre, a short drive from Shepton Mallet, most treatment is completed in a single visit with no drilling and no anaesthetic.
How composite bonding helps with tooth wear
Tooth-coloured composite resin is shaped directly onto the tooth and set with a curing light, then polished to match your natural enamel. For tooth wear, that means we can reshape, rebuild or resurface teeth without removing healthy tooth structure.
Minimally invasive
In most cases no enamel is drilled away, so the treatment is reversible and kind to your teeth.
Single visit
Bonding for tooth wear is usually finished in one appointment, with immediate results.
Natural finish
Shade-matched and hand-polished so the work blends with the teeth around it.

Composite bonding for tooth wear — FAQs

In many cases, yes. Bonding adds tooth-coloured resin to reshape and resurface teeth, which can improve the appearance of tooth wear. We’ll confirm whether it’s right for you at a consultation.
How long does it last?
Composite bonding typically lasts around 5–7 years before it needs polishing or topping up, depending on your bite and habits like grinding.
Does it hurt?
No. Bonding is usually done without drilling or injections, so most people feel nothing during the appointment.
