So why come to Paste for your composite bonding?
Each dentist at Paste has trained globally in the art of composite bonding!
Dr. Marshall Hanson, Dr. Monik Vasant and Dr. Newton Fahl are literally world leaders in this craft and have taught our dentists hands-on in their art. Yes were have travelled thousands of miles to learn from them!
At Paste we only use the best dental materials available world-wide. Shipped from America, ordered from Europe and landed in Belfast!
Advances in technology, the strength and the beauty of these materials mean that a beautifully symmetrical smile doesn’t require the removal of the enamel of your teeth to still achieve amazing results!
Smile design is an art in itself!
Our dentists are not only trained using the best materials, it’s the art of the design process that makes a smile symmetrical, balanced and naturally beautiful. Alan has trained in Spear, Scottsdale Arizona and is a participating member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Paste brings these design concepts and philosophies to Belfast for the first time, thoughtful bespoke cosmetic dentistry, done well.
We are often asked why do we charge for a consultation, why is this not free like in other clinics?
There are lots of different techniques out there when it comes to composite bonding. Just like we have mentioned you really do get what you pay for and this is not a cookie cutter product at Paste.
Each dentist at Paste will start by assessing your bite and your smile. We first need to work out why your teeth look like they do, for instance, wear patterns, incisal edge chipping, basically how have you got to where you are.
We then treatment plan your smile based on your history so that we try out best to avoid failure in the future.
Jaw joint analysis and treatment planning with respect to the forces and movements in your mouth makes for much better success and lets us test-run composite if a more long-term solution is desired in 10-15 years.
We take a series of photographs, oral digital scans and bite analysis and use the concepts of fiscally generated treatment planning to ensure your smile design works with your lips, face shape, age and bite to give beautiful lasting results!
So long story short, lol we charge because we need to take the time to plan this properly!
Composite Edge Bonding vs. Composite Veneers vs. Injection Moulding?? - I’m not a dentist/Explain
So there are many techniques out there, including adding composite to the edge of your teeth and allowing the upper portion of your natural tooth to show, fully covering the front of your tooth so that a highly polished glass-like filling material now changes the appearance of your whole tooth, or getting a dental lab to make a mould where we inject heated composite material following a complete smile resign. Again something that we discuss in detail with you and create a bespoke solution to give long term success!
Not every technique is right for everyone so definitely a discussion to be had!
Still your teeth, but the best version of your smile.

FAQs
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin material to your existing teeth. The resin is then sculpted, shaped, and polished to improve the appearance of your teeth and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. The composite resin is made of a blend of plastic and glass materials, which creates a durable and strong bond with your teeth.
The process of composite bonding is relatively simple and non-invasive. First, your dentist will select a shade of composite resin that matches your natural teeth. Next, the surface of your teeth will be prepared by roughening them with a special gel to help the bonding material adhere properly. Once the surface of your teeth is ready, the composite resin material is applied to the teeth and sculpted to the desired shape.
Composite bonding is an excellent option for people who have chipped, cracked, or stained teeth, as well as those with gaps between their teeth. It can also be used to improve the shape or size of your teeth, fill in small gaps or chips, and even out the surface of your teeth. Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, composite bonding is a quick and cost-effective way to achieve a more beautiful smile.
One of the main benefits of composite bonding is that it is a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in just one visit to the dentist's office. It requires no drilling, no anaesthesia, and no removal of healthy tooth structure. It is also a more affordable option compared to other cosmetic dental procedures like porcelain veneers or dental crowns.
However, it is important to note that composite bonding may not be suitable for everyone. The procedure is most effective on small imperfections or minor cosmetic issues. In cases where more significant changes are needed, other cosmetic dental treatments may be recommended.
Overall, composite bonding is a great option for those looking to improve the appearance of their teeth and achieve a more confident smile. It is a minimally invasive, cost-effective, and efficient cosmetic dental procedure that can transform your smile in just one visit. At Paste, we offer composite bonding services as part of our comprehensive cosmetic dental treatments to help you achieve your ideal smile.
How does Composite Bonding work?
At Paste, our dental professionals will work with you to select the perfect shade of resin to match your natural teeth. The procedure starts by thoroughly cleaning your teeth and making minor modifications to ensure a perfect fit. Then, a dental conditioner is applied to prepare the teeth, followed by the addition of bonding material to ensure the composite resin adheres to the tooth. Once the composite resin is added, it's moulded to the desired shape before being cured with a special light, and then finished off to achieve an enamel-like shine.
One of the biggest benefits of composite bonding is that the procedure is non-invasive and requires little to no preparation of your natural teeth. Unlike veneers, there is no need to remove any tooth structure, which also means the process is reversible if you change your mind. It's also a quick procedure, and can be completed in as little as 45 minutes, requiring only one visit to our Belfast studio. However, it's important to note that composite bonding may not be suitable for more complex cases, and may require more maintenance and repair compared to other cosmetic dental treatments.
At Paste, we're committed to helping you achieve your ideal smile. Our dental professionals use the latest techniques and materials to ensure beautiful and long-lasting results, tailored to your specific needs.
