Composite Bonding Before & Afters
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is the process of applying tooth coloured filling material to the surface of the teeth to change the overall shape, size and colour of the tooth.
The treatment is completely digitally planned which improves accuracy and the efficiency of the tooth movement.
Furthermore, by taking a 3D digital scan of your teeth we are able to show you an outcome simulation of what your teeth could potentially look like after treatment. This way you can see the improvement before you commit yourself to having treatment
Situations where composite bonding is suitable:
- Chipped tooth
- Cracks
- Stains
- General Wear
- To improve aesthetic appearance of teeth or smile
The main benefits are:
- No needles / Injections

Why Does The Cost Of Composite Bonding Vary So Much?
The rising demand for composite bonding has led to an increase in cases needing to be re-done, especially when cheaper options are chosen without considering potential trade-offs.
If the price is significantly cheaper, you should bear in mind that some compromise will have been made somewhere along the line
Composite bonding is a popular dental treatment that requires careful planning and precision, which may not be the best choice for every patient.
It involves a thorough evaluation of factors like tooth size, shape, facial appearance, overall oral look, tooth colour, bite alignment, speech patterns, and more when considering composite bonding.
Situations where composite bonding is suitable:
- Quality of materials used
- Time taken - rushing the procedure to do it in a set time frame to make it cost effective
- Level of training and ability of the dentist
Ensuring the longevity and success of composite bonding calls for meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality results.

Frequently Asked Questions – Composite Bonding
What is Composite Bonding?
The tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned and then prepared with a gel that roughens the surface microscopically. The putty like composite resin material is then applied using special instruments and brushes to sculpt to the desired shape, often in several layers. Using a special light, the material is then hardened. Further layers can then be added accordingly. The procedure is then completed with smoothing of the tooth surface and polishing.
How many visits are needed?
The composites themselves are done in one appointment. We will always book a consultation appointment first. Most people will have a review appointment after to ensure they are completely happy.
Will I need an injection?
The great majority of all cases are completed pain-free and without the need for local anaesthetic.
Will my teeth need to be drilled?
In most cases composite is applied with no obvious drilling to the natural tooth. For cases that require tooth adjustment, you will be advised beforehand in the consultation appointment.
How long does Composite Bonding last?
As with most cosmetic dental procedures they will eventually need replacing. Typically we see good results of up to 5 years for composite veneers and 7 years for edge bonding, dependent upon care.
Is there a minimum number of teeth reccomended?
There is no minimum recommendation for this. In order to gain optimal aesthetic results most individuals require approximately 8-10 composite restorations. This allows for a more uniform and symmetrical smile.
Composite Bonding or Porcelain Veneers?
Composite bonding is a single session treatment option which is great to correct smaller imperfections, chips, cracks and minor spacing between the teeth.
Veneers on the other hand are lab made ultra thin sheets of ceramic material which are shaped to fit onto the teeth. They usually require some removal of natural tooth structure to create enough space for the veneer to attach to the tooth. They are normally recommended for larger imperfections of the teeth and as they are lab made, are more costly than composite bonding.

Do my teeth need to be straight before getting Composite Bonding?
We would always recommend straightening before the bonding as it helps. Slight minor misalignment can be masked with composite. However it is always advisable to straighten with braces or Invisalign first.
