What is composite bonding?
Your smile, rebuilt.
In a single afternoon.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where a tooth-coloured resin is applied and sculpted directly onto your teeth. Think of it as artistic shaping ā your dentist builds, moulds and polishes the material until it looks completely natural.
No injections. No drilling. No removing tooth structure. It’s one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available ā and in most cases, it’s completely reversible.
- Typical appointment: 1ā3 hours depending on how many teeth
- Results last 5ā7 years with good care
- No anaesthetic in most cases
- Can treat 1 tooth or a full smile makeover

Is it right for me?
Composite bonding can fix all of these
Chipped or cracked teeth
A chipped tooth ā no matter how small ā affects how confident you feel smiling. Bonding rebuilds the tooth shape perfectly, indistinguishable from the real thing.
- Fixed in one visit
Gaps between teeth
Gaps (diastemas) can be closed without braces in many cases. Bonding widens the teeth naturally to close the gap ā no orthodontics, no months of waiting.
- No braces needed
Stained or discoloured teeth
If whitening hasn't worked or you have deep internal staining, bonding covers the surface with a perfectly matched shade for a clean, bright result.
- Permanent colour match
Uneven or misshapen teeth
Teeth that are crooked, pointed, or asymmetric can be reshaped and evened out with bonding ā often avoiding the need for braces entirely.
- No drilling required
Short teeth or worn edges
Teeth ground down by bruxism or naturally short teeth can be lengthened with bonding, restoring a youthful proportion to your smile.
- Restores length naturally
Want veneers but not the cost
Composite bonding delivers results similar to porcelain veneers at significantly less cost ā and without permanently altering your natural teeth.
- Up to 60% less than veneers

Common questions
Everything you want to know before booking
In most cases, no injection or anaesthetic is needed. The procedure is genuinely pain-free for the vast majority of patients. If you do have sensitivity, a local anaesthetic can be used but it’s rarely necessary.
With good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing pens, composite bonding typically lasts 5ā7 years. It can be repaired or touched up easily if it chips, unlike porcelain veneers which require full replacement.
Yes ā this is one of composite bonding’s biggest advantages. Because no tooth structure is removed, the bonding can be taken off and your natural teeth remain intact. Porcelain veneers are not reversible.
Yes, immediately after the procedure. We’ll advise you to avoid very hard foods (like nuts or ice) and strongly staining foods/drinks in the first 48 hours, but there’s no extended recovery period.
In skilled hands, composite bonding is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. We colour-match precisely and sculpt to complement your existing tooth shape. The finish is polished to replicate natural tooth texture.
No. New patients are welcome for composite bonding consultations. We do need to carry out a basic dental health check first to make sure bonding is the right option for you ā this is part of your free consultation.
Our prices start from Ā£275 per tooth for a single tooth. Exact pricing is confirmed at your free consultation based on how many teeth are involved and the complexity of the case.
Yes. We offer 0% interest-free finance on treatments over Ā£500, spread over up to 12 months. Ask about this at your consultation and we’ll walk you through the options.
