Composite bonding in the UK costs between £150 and £350 per tooth, depending on your location, the dentist, and the clinic you choose.
As a cosmetic treatment, it’s not available on the NHS and is only provided by private cosmetic dental clinics. At our local clinic in Tarvin, Chester, we charge a highly competitive rate of £250 per tooth.
We also offer 0% dental finance over 12 months (with no cost of credit) for treatments that cost £1,500 or more. So, if you wish to improve a few misshapen or uneven teeth using dental bonding, you can likely opt to spread the cost and pay in monthly instalments.
Some patients with severe tooth decay, gum disease, deep intrinsic stains, or severe crowding or misalignment may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
Booking a free consultation at our clinic, however, will allow us to assess your smile and suitability and provide a personalised treatment quote. Book online.
At our clinic, we offer both composite edge bonding, which is applied to specific areas of the tooth, such as jagged edges, to create a fuller, more even smile.
If you’re looking for a more substantial smile makeover, where you want to significantly change the look of your teeth, composite veneers may be the better choice.
These veneers are applied in layers to the entire tooth, allowing for precise control over the desired size and shape.
Composite veneers are also no-prep and do not damage the underlying tooth, just like edge bonding. Choosing between the two simply comes down to how dramatically you want to improve your smile.
Book a consultation to determine which option best suits your needs.
Perfect for those curious but unsure where to start with fixing chips, gaps, or uneven teeth. Includes consultation and cost discussion.
The entire bonding process is generally quick, minimally invasive, and unlikely to require any anaesthesia.
Because of these benefits, it’s the perfect treatment option for patients who don’t want or need veneers but want small improvements that make a significant difference to their smile.
Begin with an examination near Chester, where we’ll inspect damaged or discoloured teeth to ensure they’re healthy enough for cosmetic treatment.
We’ll also thoroughly assess your smile to ensure there are no hidden cavities that might cause issues down the line.
Next, you’ll select the shade using a shade guide to choose the resin that closely matches your natural teeth, so your treatment perfectly blends with the rest of your smile. If you’re looking for a whiter appearance, we’ll likely need to whiten your teeth beforehand.
The surface of the tooth is prepared, where it is gently roughened to receive the resin. We’ll then cover it with a conditioning liquid to help it adhere.
A putty-like resin is directly applied to delicately reshape the teeth, paying particular attention to the edges of your social smile.
Once the resin is in place and you’re satisfied with the shape, we’ll cure it, which is achieved using a UV light that hardens the resin and bonds it to your tooth.
The final stage involves polishing the teeth to enhance their appearance, resulting in a natural finish. Following this stage, you’ll be free to eat after a few hours.
Bonding is often best for small changes to tooth shape, edges, chips and minor gaps.
Whitening is better if your concern is whiter teeth but this has a time limit.
Porcelain veneers are suitable for long term changes in your smile and lasting whiteness. Veneers can cover gaps and chips.
How long does composite bonding last?
Bonding usually lasts 5 to 7 years, though this depends on your bite, diet, oral hygiene, and whether you grind or clench your teeth.
Is composite bonding painful?
Composite bonding is not painful.
Can composite bonding close gaps?
Yes. It can often be used to close small gaps between teeth. Larger gaps or more complex bite issues may be better treated with invisalign first.
Does it damage teeth?
No. Composite bonding is minimally invasive and often requires little to no removal of natural tooth structure.
Can composite bonding stain?
Yes. Bonding can stain over time, especially with drinks like tea and coffee
Can composite bonding be whitened?
No. Composite bonding does not whiten in the same way as natural teeth. Best to whiten teeth before treatment.
What is the difference between composite bonding and porcelain veneers?
Bonding uses tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the tooth, while porcelain veneers are custom-made shells fitted over the front of the teeth. See composite veneers.
