What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a special resin is applied directly to your teeth to improve their shape, colour, and appearance. The resin is carefully matched to the natural shade of your teeth and sculpted to achieve a flawless finish. Unlike other treatments, it usually requires little to no removal of the natural tooth structure.
When Is Composite Bonding Used?

What are the Benefits of Composite Bonding?
Who is Composite Bonding Suitable For?
Composite bonding is ideal for patients looking for cosmetic improvements without major dental work. If you want to repair minor chips, hide small gaps or improve the colour and appearance of your teeth, bonding could be the right choice. Patients with good overall oral health tend to achieve the best results. If you have extensive decay, gum disease, or major alignment issues, your dentist may suggest alternative treatments.

The Composite Bonding Process
Aftercare & Maintenance
Looking after your composite bonding is straightforward. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check‑ups will help your results last longer. Avoid habits such as biting pens, chewing ice, or using your teeth to open packaging, as these can chip the resin. Reducing staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine will also help maintain a bright smile. Regular checkups and hygienist visits are also encouraged to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment.
Cost & Payment Options
Composite bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments available. The price depends on how many teeth are treated, but it remains less costly than crowns or veneers. Our prices start from just £395 per tooth. To make treatment easier to manage, we offer a range of finance and payment plan options.

With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts between 5 to 10 years. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene will extend its lifespan.
No – the procedure is usually pain-free and rarely requires anaesthetic.
Veneers involve placing a porcelain shell over the tooth and often require some enamel removal. Composite bonding, on the other hand, uses resin directly on the tooth with minimal preparation.
Most treatments are completed in one appointment, usually lasting 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.
Costs vary depending on the number of teeth treated, but composite bonding is generally more affordable than crowns or veneers. We offer payment plans to make treatment accessible. Prices start at £395 per tooth.
Bonding may not be suitable for patients with severe decay, gum disease, or major bite issues. Your dentist will advise the best treatment for your needs.
Composite resin does not respond to whitening treatments in the same way as natural teeth. If you are considering whitening, it’s best to do so before bonding so the resin can be matched to your new tooth shade. If bonded teeth become stained, they may need polishing or replacement rather than bleaching.
There is no strict age limit for composite bonding, but patients should generally have all of their adult teeth fully developed. Younger patients may need to wait until their teeth and jaws have stopped growing. Your dentist will advise if bonding is suitable based on age and oral health. Patients under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
