Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a fantastic cosmetic dentistry procedure for improving the outward appearance of your smile 

The procedure involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin which is applied to the front surface of the tooth, covering cracks, marks, chips or discolouration.   

If you are after an affordable, safe and highly effective solution for improving the look and strength of your teeth, the composite teeth bonding could be perfect for you.  

 What is composite bonding? 

The wafer-thin tooth-colored resin material that is applied to the surface of the tooth during composite bonding treatment is bonded to the teeth with a special light to create a durable and long-lasting outer layer. 

This resin, or composite, can be used to treat a variety of issues, including: 

• Filling in gaps between teeth 
• Covering up chips or cracks in the tooth 
• Changing the shape of the tooth.  
• Covering up marks or stains  
• Improving the colour of the tooth 

Your dentist will first need to prepare the tooth. This involves removing any decay or damage before applying the resin to the tooth and shaping it to the desired form. Once the resin has hardened, it will be polished to give it a natural look and feel. 

Unlike composite veneers, composite bonding can be applied on top of the natural tooth and does not require the tooth to be permanently shaved down before being placed.  

Overall, composite bonding is a relatively simple and non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure that can often be completed in just one short visit to the dentist. 

Why choose composite teeth bonding? 

Composite bonding has many brilliant benefits for patients who are unhappy with the outward appearance of their smile. The quick and painless procedure allows patients to cover up imperfections on one or multiple teeth, which in turn improves confidence and protects the tooth enamel from further damage and harm.  

Some of the main advantages of composite bonding for teeth are:  

• The procedure can be completed in just one visit to the dental clinic, making it a convenient option for patients who want to improve their smile quickly. 
• Composite bonding is a relatively affordable option compared to other cosmetic dentistry procedures. 
• The composite resin is made to match the natural colour of your teeth ensuring that your smile looks completely natural  
• Offers a versatile dental solution that can be used to fix a variety of dental issues such as chipped, cracked, discolored, or misaligned teeth.   
• Protects chipped or cracked teeth from further damage

Composite bonding cost 

Like most cosmetic procedures, the cost of composite bonding treatment in the UK can vary depending on the specific procedure and location of the dental practice.  

However, composite bonding is relatively affordable and is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic procedures for improving the look and strength of your teeth.  

On average, the cost for a single tooth bonding procedure can range from £75-£300. Of course, if you require multiple teeth to be bonded or wish to incorporate other cosmetic procedures, such as whitening or restorations, the price will rise.
