The detail,
made simple
What is dental bonding, and how does it work?
We use composite dental bonding to close gaps and smooth chips and modify your teeth’ shade, shape, and size in an efficient, non-invasive, and economical way. This method uses a flexible dental material, preferably BPA-free composites, that matches the colour of your surrounding teeth. Remarkably durable, composite bonding of the teeth enables a precise and artistic application for excellent cosmetic results.
Is dental bonding a suitable treatment for me?
If you have always had a gap between your front teeth, or perhaps a tooth that you’ve never liked the shape or size of, dental bonding could provide the ideal solution for you! Age-related changes, wear and tear, dark stains, yellow discolouration, and chipped teeth can all be addressed through this treatment, thanks to the expertise of our highly-trained team.
What can I expect during my procedure when obtaining dental bonding?
The tooth’s surface is lightly rubbed and primed to enhance the bond between the teeth and the material. No enamel is removed during this process so that the treatment can be completed comfortably and quickly in just one visit. The composite material disguises imperfections to give you a flawless smile while being more economical than veneers and other cosmetic treatments.

How much does teeth bonding cost in London?+

Is dental bonding covered by NHS?+
The NHS does not usually cover dental bonding as it is considered a cosmetic treatment. The NHS primarily covers essential dental treatments and repairs for health reasons. For cosmetic procedures like bonding, you would typically need to pay privately.
Is dental bonding good for teeth?+
Dental bonding can be beneficial for repairing chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth. It is a versatile, minimally invasive procedure that can improve the appearance and functionality of teeth. Bonding can also close gaps and correct minor misalignments. However, while effective, it may not be as durable as other restorative options like crowns or veneers.
Is dental bonding free in the UK?+
No. Composite bonding is a cosmetic treatment and is not available on the NHS — this practice is fully private. Composite bonding starts from £275 and can be spread over 12 months at 0% with Tabeo finance.
How long can dental bonding last?+
Dental bonding can last between 3 to 10 years, depending on factors such as the location of the bonded tooth, the quality of the bonding material used, and how well you care for your teeth. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can help extend the lifespan of dental bonding.
What are the disadvantages of teeth bonding?+
Some disadvantages of teeth bonding include its susceptibility to staining and chipping compared to other materials like veneers. Bonding may not be as durable as crowns or veneers, especially for teeth that experience heavy biting forces. Additionally, bonded teeth may need replacement or repair over time.
How painful is dental bonding?+
Dental bonding is generally not painful. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically does not require anaesthesia, except in cases where decay or significant damage is present. Patients may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity during and after the procedure, but it is usually manageable.
Can you chew with bonded teeth?+
Yes, you can chew with bonded teeth. Dental bonding is designed to restore the function and appearance of teeth, allowing you to chew normally. However, it’s advisable to avoid biting or chewing on very hard objects, as bonded material can be prone to chipping or cracking.
