What Is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a transformative dental procedure that's all about enhancing your smile quickly and effectively.
Composite is the material we've used for white fillings for many years. What's changed is the quality of the materials and how we use them.
Newer composites have become incredibly beautiful and indistinguishable from real teeth, making composite bonding a fantastic choice if you're looking to address various dental imperfections without undergoing extensive dental work.
Whether you have chips or worn edges that distract from your smile, gaps that you feel self-conscious about, stains that teeth whitening can't address, or you want to add length to short teeth, composite bonding is here to offer a solution.

The Composite Bonding Process
Your journey to your dream smile begins with a free consultation, where we ensure composite bonding is the right fit for you.
During this session, we'll carry out a thorough examination of your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and address any questions or concerns you might have.
Our goal is to provide you with a clear understanding of the process and how it can be tailored to meet your unique needs.
Even in a procedure as straightforward as composite bonding, we'll usually do some design work, especially if we're adding length or closing gaps.
This often involves creating precise guides or "stents" in collaboration with our dental lab, ensuring that the outcome aligns perfectly with your expectations.
The whole bonding process is usually done in a single visit.
It usually doesn't involve any anaesthetic or drilling, just the skilled hands of our dental professionals meticulously sculpting and perfecting your smile.
What Our Composite Bonding Patient's Say
Feels Great! I'm really happy to smile!
I'm really pleased with what I can see in the mirror and in photos! My experience has been great. It's more than met my expectations!
I waited a long time to get the teeth I've always wanted - and now I feel like I finally have them!
I could not be happier with my experience at The Modern Dentist! From my initial consultation to the last appointment, Dr Mark Flynn and his team were superb. So friendly and warm, making every appointment a pleasure.
My treatments consisted of a teeth whitening course as well as much needed composite bonding to repair the bad work a previous dentist had performed. My smile has well and truly transformed. A fantastic natural finish that I’m so happy with.
I now smile more and feel so much more confident within myself and that’s all down to Mark and the team. I will be sending all of my friends there!
Thank you!
Absolutely not. Composite bonding is pain-free. There's no need for injections or removing significant parts of your tooth structure, so you can relax.
Most patients go through the procedure without any discomfort, as we're usually adding to the existing teeth, so no needles and no drills, making it an excellent choice if you're a bit anxious about dental work. Beautiful.
Composite bonding is like a quick touch-up for your smile.
It can fix those little imperfections that bother you every time you look in the mirror-whether that's a chipped tooth, a small gap that seems to stand out, or some discolouration that teeth whitening can't fix.
Think of composite bonding as a cosmetic boost that brings out the best in your teeth, without any drastic measures.
The process is pretty straightforward. We apply a tooth-coloured resin directly to your teeth, carefully shaping and moulding it to make it look natural and flawless.
Once it's sculpted to perfection, it's hardened with a special light, and polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Costs can vary, but composite bonding is one of the more affordable cosmetic dental treatments.
It's a great investment in your smile without the hefty price tag that often comes with other cosmetic procedures. At The Modern Dentist, composite bonding costs between £250-450 per tooth.
While all dental procedures come with some level of risk, composite bonding is on the lower end of the spectrum.
The most common issues might be some sensitivity immediately after the procedure or the potential for the bonding material to chip if you're not careful with hard foods or habits like nail-biting.
But overall, it's a safe and effective way to enhance your smile.
With proper care, your composite dental bonding can last several years.
While it might not be as durable as some other dental restorations, with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, you can extend its lifespan and enjoy your beautiful smile for longer.
The NHS typically doesn’t provide composite bonding when it’s purely for cosmetic reasons. However, the NHS might provide it if there’s a clinical need—such as repairing a damaged or decayed tooth.
For purely aesthetic enhancements, private dental care is the way to go. At The Modern Dentist, we offer competitive prices and flexible payment plans to help you achieve the smile you desire.
Your satisfaction is our top priority. At The Modern Dentist, we work closely with you to understand your needs and make sure you’re thrilled with the results. Our thorough diagnostic process minimises any risk of you being unhappy with the outcome.
But if you’re unhappy with your composite bonding, come back and see us. We can make adjustments or even redo the bonding to ensure you leave with a smile you love.
While composite bonding might seem pricey, consider the skill and precision involved. The materials used are also high-quality and durable. Each treatment combines art and science, requiring meticulous application and shaping to achieve a natural look for your teeth. Think of it as an investment in your confidence and smile.
Composite bonding itself cannot be whitened once it’s applied. If you’re considering teeth whitening, it’s best to do it before your bonding treatment. We can then match the composite resin to your newly whitened teeth. If your bonding becomes stained, we can polish or replace it to restore its appearance.
Composite bonding and veneers each have their strengths. Veneers, particularly porcelain ones, are more durable and can last up to 15 years or more with proper care. Composite bonding, while less durable, is less invasive and can be easily repaired if damaged. Deciding between the two is about finding the right balance for your needs and lifestyle.
Yes, composite bonding is generally more affordable than porcelain veneers and offers a great way to enhance your smile without the higher cost of veneers. Composite bonding from The Modern Dentist costs £250-450 per tooth, whereas porcelain veneers cost £950 per tooth.
While composite bonding is fantastic for many reasons, it does have some downsides. It’s less durable than veneers and can chip or stain over time. Plus, you’ll need to be mindful of foods and drinks that can stain, like coffee and red wine.
Yes, composite bonding is minimally invasive and reversible. If you decide to remove the bonding, your natural teeth will remain largely intact. This flexibility is one of the reasons why many people choose composite bonding. Always discuss your long-term plans with your dentist to understand all your options.
Absolutely! You can enjoy your tea, but it’s best to do so in moderation.
Composite bonding can stain over time, especially with frequent consumption of dark beverages like tea, coffee, and red wine.
To keep your smile bright, rinse your mouth with water after drinking these beverages and practice good oral hygiene.
