Composite Bonding in Lugano, Ticino

‍Composite bonding is a versatile, minimally invasive cosmetic dental treatment that enhances the appearance of your teeth with stunningly natural results. In most cases, composite veneers are applied without reducing the natural tooth structure, provided your teeth are positioned to allow this. Using several shades of tooth-coloured resin material, composite bonding can address a range of dental issues, from minor imperfections to gaps, for a balanced, confident smile. At Alpine Smiles in Lugano, we customise each treatment to suit your unique needs, ensuring your results look natural and blend seamlessly with your teeth. 

‍Types of Composite Bonding Treatments

‍When doing composite bonding, it’s essential to match the colour of your neighbouring teeth accurately. If you’re considering bonding but are not completely satisfied with your current tooth colour, whitening your teeth beforehand can create a brighter, more cohesive background for an even more stunning result.

‍Composite Veneers
‍Composite veneers are a popular choice for patients seeking a cost-effective alternative to traditional porcelain veneers. Made from high-quality composite resin, they can be sculpted to improve tooth shape, colour, and size, offering immediate results with minimal preparation.

‍Edge Bonding
‍Edge bonding is a technique that uses composite resin to improve the appearance of worn or uneven edges on the front teeth. Ideal for enhancing aesthetics and function, edge bonding is a quick and effective way to give your teeth a smooth, symmetrical finish.

‍Black Triangle Closure
‍Black triangles, or small gaps near the gums, can develop due to gum recession or tooth movement. Composite bonding is an excellent solution for closing these gaps, restoring a fuller, healthier look to your smile. Our experienced team in Lugano uses precise techniques to ensure the composite matches your natural tooth colour, blending beautifully.

‍Diastema Closure
‍For patients with a diastema, or gap between the front teeth, composite bonding provides a non-invasive way to close the space and achieve a seamless smile. The composite material is carefully applied and sculpted to fill the gap, creating a natural and durable result without the need for extensive orthodontics.

Pricing

Composite Bonding: 790 CHF per tooth, including scanning and imaging. There is no price difference between composite veneers made free-hand or with Injection Mould Technique. The same price applies to partial composite bonding (edge bonding, black triangle closure, diastema closure) as also this is highly skill sensitive to blend in optimally. We will use the technique best suited for your case and your goals.

‍Vivera Retainers: Not mandatory, but may increase longevity of both your teeth and your restorations. 890 CHF for 3 upper and 3 lower retainers. These retainers are worn at night to protect your smile and can also be used with whitening gel to maintain a bright, healthy appearance.

‍How Long Do Composite Veneers Last?

‍Composite veneers typically last 4-7 years and can occasionally last up to 10 years with excellent care. Although composite may require more maintenance than porcelain, such as polishing to maintain its shine, this treatment offers flexibility and affordability for many patients. The main benefit is that no drilling of healthy tooth structure typically is needed. We recommend scheduling polishing 1 time per year, ideally during your annual dental check-up, to keep your restorations looking their best. Long-term results depend heavily on maintaining good oral hygiene and healthy habits.If touch-ups are needed, it’s usually not necessary to replace all restorations simultaneously—individual teeth can often be adjusted as needed. We offer a 1-year guarantee on our composite work, provided that patients maintain good oral hygiene and attend their  annual dental check-up.
