FAQ

What is composite bonding for teeth?
Composite bonding (also known as dental bonding or teeth bonding) is a cosmetic dentistry treatment where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied and shaped directly onto your teeth. It’s used to repair chips, close gaps, improve tooth shape, and cover discolouration, creating a natural-looking smile.
How long does composite bonding take?
Most composite bonding treatments can be completed in a single visit. It typically takes 30–60 minutes per tooth, depending on the complexity of the case.
Does composite bonding hurt?
Composite bonding is usually pain-free and minimally invasive. In most cases, no injections or drilling are required, unless the tooth needs minor preparation.
How long does composite bonding last on teeth?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, composite bonding can last 5–10 years. Longevity depends on your bite, habits (e.g., teeth grinding, nail biting), and diet.
Can composite bonding stain or chip?
Yes, the resin used in composite bonding is slightly more prone to staining than porcelain veneers. Dark foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine can cause discolouration over time. It can also chip if you bite hard objects, but repairs are straightforward.
How do I care for my bonded teeth?
Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
Floss once a day
Avoid biting nails or chewing on pens
Limit highly pigmented foods and drinks
Visit your dentist regularly for maintenance
Is composite bonding reversible?
Yes – composite bonding is completely reversible because it does not require removal of natural tooth enamel. If needed, the material can be removed or replaced.
Composite bonding vs veneers – which is better?
Composite bonding: Quick, non-invasive, affordable, reversible, but more prone to staining
Porcelain veneers: More durable, stain-resistant, and long-lasting, but require enamel removal and are more expensive
Your dentist can help you choose based on your goals, budget, and oral health.
What problems can composite bonding fix?
Chipped or cracked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Discoloured teeth
Misshapen or uneven teeth
Teeth that appear too short
How much does composite bonding cost?
In the UK, composite bonding costs approximately £400 per tooth, depending on the dentist’s experience and the complexity of your case.
