Composite Bonding Treatment

Our highly skilled dentists frequently restore smiles using composite bonding. This technique effectively corrects minor imperfections, resulting in a natural appearance.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a non-invasive treatment that enhances your natural teeth using a resin material to create a new surface layer for the tooth.

Our experienced dentists often recommend composite bonding treatment to fill gaps, repair discolouration, rebuild damaged areas, and enhance the shape and appearance of your teeth.

What does composite bonding look like?

One of the key benefits of composite bonding is its ability to be colour-matched to your existing teeth. The composite resin restores the tooth’s original function while maintaining a natural appearance. Unless you choose to tell them, no one will notice that you’ve had the procedure.

Why might I need composite bonding?

One of our clinicians may recommend composite bonding to repair the following dental issues:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Decayed teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Fractured or worn teeth
  • Discoloured or stained teeth

What is the composite bonding treatment process?

Composite bonding treatment is minimally invasive and does not require sedation.

After your consultation, you will be invited back to our warm and welcoming practice, where one of our skilful clinicians will colour-match the composite resin to your existing teeth, ensuring a natural shade. Your tooth will then be prepared and the resin will be applied. After this, the resin is hardened and polished by UV light.

Composite bonding can usually be completed in just one sitting. If multiple teeth need to be bonded, this may require multiple appointments. We will discuss this with you based on your oral health requirements.

The benefits of composite bonding

When you visit our practice, our knowledgeable team will take the time to discuss the right treatment for you, talking through your oral health history and the goals you’d like to achieve for your smile.

There are many benefits of choosing composite bonding, including:

  • Results can be made to look completely natural
  • Predictable aesthetic and functional results
  • No drilling needed
  • No injections required
  • Can be completed in a single appointment
  • Reversible in most cases
  • Failure is rare and very easy to fix
  • Applied directly in the chair without laboratory involvement
  • Suitable for patients of all ages

Aftercare of composite bonding treatment

Care for your composite bonding as you would your natural teeth. Brush with fluoride toothpaste and floss twice daily.

Just like your enamel, composite bonding can become stained. To keep your bonding looking fresh and white, limit your consumption of food and drinks with a strong colour, such as black coffee and red wine. We also recommend visiting our practice twice a year, or every six months, for your regular dentist and hygienist appointments.

If you are continuing to experience discomfort after your composite bonding treatment, or if something doesn’t feel right, please contact us immediately.

Cost of composite bonding treatment

The cost of composite bonding treatment can vary based on the number of teeth being bonded and your personalised treatment plan. At our practice, your dentist will provide a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins, ensuring there are no hidden fees. Prices start from £400 per tooth with the option of package upgrades! Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have.

What should I expect during treatment?

Composite bonding is a non-invasive procedure. It is not painful and does not require sedation.

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonding can last up to 5 years if you maintain good oral hygiene after the procedure.

Can composite bonding damage teeth?

It will not damage your teeth. Although the composite bonding itself may eventually wear down, your natural enamel will not be damaged.

How many times can teeth be bonded?

Your teeth will need to be bonded again if they start to wear down. If treatment is necessary, your dentist will discuss this with you during your routine dental check-up.
