Fill gaps and fractures, repair chipped teeth, and even out discolouration — without damage to your natural teeth.
Aesthetic excellence
Composite bonding can smooth, shape and even lengthen your natural teeth to achieve your preferred look.
Uniform colouring
The composite resin used is perfectly colour-matched to your natural teeth, to even out stains or discolouration.
Fast treatment
Each tooth takes just 30-60 minutes so composite bonding treatment can be completed in just a few appointments.
Tooth preservation
By layering composite resin over your natural teeth, composite bonding is minimally invasive and preserves your tooth structure.

Composite bonding layers a plastic composite resin over your natural teeth to repair and resolve minor damage, including chipped teeth, cracked teeth, and gaps between teeth. It can fix damaged teeth without changing the structure of your natural tooth underneath.
- Enhance your looks: Composite bonding repairs cosmetic flaws and minor damage whilst mimicking the colour, look and feel of your existing teeth.
- Resolve minor damage: By layering composite resin over your natural teeth, composite bonding restores the look of your cracked, fractured or chipped teeth.
- Preserve your existing tooth: Composite bonding adheres to your natural tooth, requiring only light buffing to roughen the surface.
Whiten your smile with composite bonding
By layering composite resin over your natural teeth, composite bonding can even out discoloured, patchy or stained teeth, giving you more uniform tooth colouring. It can work alongside teeth whitening to make your tooth colouring consistent.
- Fix tooth discolouration: Composite bonding can be layered over stains or areas of discolouration to even out colouring across a single tooth, or your whole smile.
- Use alongside whitening: Your dentist matches the composite resin to your existing teeth, so composite bonding should be done after other whitening procedures.
- Preserve your existing tooth: Composite bonding adheres to your natural tooth, requiring only light buffing to roughen the surface.
What can I expect during my Composite Bonding appointments?
Consultation
Begin with a detailed examination and consultation. Our dentists will discuss your dental history and your cosmetic goals, and walk you through a personalised treatment plan.
Teeth whitening procedures
If you are undergoing tooth whitening alongside your composite bonding, the whitening procedure should be completed before your composites are fitted.
Preparing the tooth
After a thorough cleaning with the hygienist, your dentist will lightly roughen the surface of your existing tooth, to ensure the composite resin adheres to your natural tooth.
Fitting the composite resin
Your dentist will then apply the composite resin in layers, and shape it to your natural tooth. The composite resin is hardened and set with a curing light before your dentist gives it a final polish. The whole procedure takes around 30-60 minutes per tooth.
Post-fitting care
We give you comprehensive post-treatment care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments as standard, guaranteeing the longevity of your composite bonding.
