Want to use composite bonding to makeover your smile?
Composite bonding is versatile and can make a huge difference in how your smile appears.
Many patients consider using the treatment on their full smile to give it a bit of a makeover, as you would traditionally see with veneers.
However, composite bonding is only applied to one portion of the tooth – it’s composite veneers that cover the entire tooth, and it’s with this treatment that you can makeover your visible six teeth.
Composite veneers use the same material and follow the same procedural steps, but they yield more dramatic results, costing around £300 per tooth.
Patients who might feel nervous about the procedure should rest assured that composite bonding is completely safe and pain-free.
It affects only the tooth’s top layer and requires no enamel removal, unlike dental veneers.
Composite bonding as a fast, cosmetic fix is typically completed in one appointment (around 60–90 minutes).
Guide to composite bonding in Surrey
What is composite bonding?
Dental bonding uses dental-grade composite resin to reshape teeth, whether to close gaps or improve aesthetics. The material is made of a combination of plastic and glass, which means it can perfectly match the tooth’s natural enamel for a seamless blend. Composite bonding is applied directly to the tooth in layers, which means it requires no prior removal of tooth structure to make room.
How long does composite bonding last?
Composite bonding is a relatively durable procedure. The treatment’s effects can last between 5 and 10 years before you need to consider getting it renewed or replaced. The longevity of the material, however, typically relies on how well you care for your teeth and your oral habits. For example, grinding your teeth, biting your nails, chewing ice, and smoking are all factors that can affect the lifespan of your composite bonding. The composite material is also susceptible to chipping and staining, so caution is recommended. That said, composite bonding is very easy and fast to repair.
Is composite bonding available on the NHS?
As composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure and is used for aesthetic purposes, it’s not provided via the NHS. Exceptions might be made, however, if your cosmetic issue significantly impacts your oral health.
How much is composite bonding (UK):
As composite bonding has gained popularity, so has its associated expense.
In the past, composite bonding in the UK was typically priced from £100 to £250 per tooth, which is still true in some dental practices today. Call 01932 989785 to make an appointment.
However, in certain dental practices in areas like London, composite bonding can cost as much as £300 per tooth.
Patients should bear in mind that sometimes, cheaper prices for composite bonding might reflect on its quality.
High-quality composite resins are more expensive because they are more durable and have a more natural appearance. Additionally, more experienced cosmetic dentists who use higher-quality materials may charge a higher premium per tooth.

Minimally invasive and usually pain-free: no enamel removal, and that drilling/anaesthetic is not usually needed (except in specific cases close to a nerve).
