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 — 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 — and in most cases, it’s completely reversible.
- Typical appointment: 1–3 hours depending on how many teeth
- Results last 5–7 years with good care
- No anaesthetic in most cases
- Can treat 1 tooth or a full smile makeover

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 5–7 years. It can be repaired or touched up easily if it chips, unlike porcelain veneers which require full replacement.
Yes — 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.
We do need to carry out a basic dental health check first to make sure bonding is the right option for you — this is part of your consultation.
Yes. We offer 0% interest-free finance on treatments over £500, spread over up to 12 months. Ask about this at your consultation and we’ll walk you through the options.
