Dental bonding, sometimes called composite bonding or composite veneer, is one of the most accessible and minimally invasive ways to enhance your smile. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, this treatment is used to reshape, repair, and brighten teeth — often without the need for drilling or injections.
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin directly onto the surface of your tooth. The material is carefully sculpted, shaped, and polished to create a natural, seamless finish. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite bonding doesn’t always require covering the entire tooth, making it a more conservative choice.
Because it’s applied directly, the treatment can often be completed in a single visit — allowing you to walk out with an instantly improved smile.
Dental bonding is a versatile solution suitable for many dental concerns, including:
If your teeth and gums are healthy, dental bonding may be an ideal option for you.
Compared with porcelain veneers or crowns, composite bonding offers several advantages:
At Bayswater Dental Clinic, composite bonding costs between £195 and £395 per tooth, depending on the complexity of the case and the time required.
While dental bonding is a great solution, it’s important to be aware of its limitations:
You’ll start with a consultation to confirm that bonding is suitable for your needs and discuss your goals.
For multi-tooth treatments, we can create a mock-up to show how your new smile will look before treatment begins.
If you’d like whiter teeth, whitening can be done before bonding to match the composite shade to your new tooth colour.
Your teeth are cleaned and lightly prepared. The resin is applied in layers, sculpted to the desired shape, and set with a curing light.
The bonded areas are refined, polished, and adjusted to ensure a natural look and comfortable bite.
