Cosmetic Dentistry
Close gaps, repair chips and reshape edges - usually in one visit.
Confident Smile
Composite bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin to reshape edges, close small gaps and repair chips with minimal preparation. It’s colour-matched and sculpted in a single visit for a seamless, natural look.
Chips, worn edges, minor spacing, uneven tooth shapes and small discolourations on the front teeth.
Composite doesn’t whiten. We usually complete whitening first, wait ~2 weeks for shade to settle, then match your bonding perfectly for long-lasting colour harmony.
With good care and an annual polish, bonding typically lasts 5–7+ years. If you clench or grind, we’ll recommend a nightguard to protect your new edges.
Every smile is unique, and we get that. We tailor everything to fit your needs perfectly so your smile feels as good as it looks.

No. Composite bonding is usually painless because it requires little or no drilling of your natural tooth. Most patients don’t need anaesthetic and feel comfortable throughout the appointment.
Composite bonding is typically considered a cosmetic procedure, and therefore, it is not usually available on the NHS. NHS dental treatments are generally limited to those that are clinically necessary.
Many patients find composite bonding worth the investment for cosmetic reasons. It can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth and boost confidence. The value can depend on your personal expectations and the specific dental issues you are addressing.
Composite bonding usually lasts between 4 to 8 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene, the location of the bonding on the teeth, and habits like chewing ice or biting fingernails.
The main downsides include susceptibility to staining compared to other materials like porcelain, less durability over time, and the possibility of chipping or breaking if not cared for properly.
Composite bonding is not suitable for individuals with severe tooth decay, active gum disease, or those who have not addressed underlying oral health issues. It’s also less suitable for those who have extensive damage to their teeth.
Composite bonding is generally not painful. The procedure involves minimal to no removal of tooth enamel and usually does not require anaesthesia unless it’s being used to fill a cavity. Patients might experience some sensitivity immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides quickly.
No. Whitening gels only affect natural teeth, not composite resin. If you plan to whiten, it should be done before bonding. We then match your bonding to the brighter shade of your natural teeth.
It depends on your goals. Bonding is best for quick improvements like chips, uneven edges or small gaps. Veneers are stronger, stain-resistant, and last longer, while Invisalign corrects alignment issues before bonding or veneers. Your dentist will help you decide which option is best for you.
Avoid habits like biting nails, chewing pens, or using your teeth to open packets. Brush twice daily, floss daily, and see our hygiene team for professional cleaning and polishing. This helps bonding stay smooth and stain-free.
We offer consultations most weeks, and many patients can start treatment the same day. Call us on 01926 291 536 or use our online booking form to check availability.
