Treatment Overview
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic and restorative treatment that adds layers of durable, natural-looking resin! Not only can you repair chips or discolouration, but you can even realign crooked teeth for perfectly straight smiles.
How does it work?
We roughen the tooth surface using pumice and gel before adding primers and bonds and a composite resin applied in layers. We carefully select pigment shades perfectly matched to your teeth and harden everything under UV light. The bonding is then contoured and polished for a perfect finish.
Do I need a dental exam first?
We do like to ensure patients have achieved dental health before embarking on a course of cosmetic dental treatments. If you haven’t had a routine dental examination in the last year, it’s our advice to do so but please speak to us at your cosmetic consultation.

Is composite bonding safe?
Composite bonding is a safe, simple and quick treatment. There are no adverse risks involved. Unlike veneers, your tooth is generally not ground down in preparation for the bonding.
Does it damage your teeth?
No. Teeth are prepared minimally with pumice and etch gel. The bondings can be polished off with little to no risk to your tooth surface should you wish to have them removed.
How long does it last?
Five to seven years is the typical life expectancy of composite bonding, while some last up to ten years.
They do however require a degree of polishing and maintenance to aid their longevity. It’s a strong material, but the resin isn’t as durable as your natural tooth enamel. Nor is it as hardy as the porcelain and other materials used in veneers or dental crowns so it’s not uncommon for them to occasionally chip or stain.
Can I whiten my composites?
Composite bonding is not impervious to dietary and lifestyle staining, especially in the spaces between the teeth. This can lead to composite bonding looking dark, dirty and stained.
You must commit to a professional maintenance regime with bonding, but where this does not give you a consistent colour and fresh appearance there is a whitening protocol that we can offer.
Contrary to popular belief, you can whiten your composite to return it to its original colour if your staining is extrinsic.
How do I care for my composite bonding?
While composite bonding treatment is quick and a smile makeover can be achieved in as little as a day, you must understand there is a commitment to care required from you.
Composite maintenance includes:
- A minimum of twice yearly dental hygiene therapy
- Stain removal as required
- Professional polishing with appropriate polishing material and equipment
- Top-up whitening to maintain shade
- Nightly wear of a Nightguard

YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY
STEP 1. COSMETIC CONSULTATION
You will need to attend a cosmetic consultation to discuss your desired results and treatment options with one of our expert team. They will also ensure that you are clinically suitable for composite bonding and will advise you on any steps you might need to take before you begin your smile transformation.
You can book your consultation online alternatively you can give us a call if you would like to find out before.
STEP 2. DIAGNOSTIC WAX UP OR TRIAL
Not sure how many bondings would look best on you? A wax-up or bonding trial could be just the thing needed to make that decision!
STEP 3. TREATMENT
Your clinician will let you know how long your appointment will be. Expect a minimum of 1 hour and up to 5 hours for a full arch of bonding. Your teeth will be minimally prepared and the resin material applied directly to your teeth in just one visit.
STEP 4. REVIEW & POLISH
There is nothing quite like living with your new smile to know if you’re truly delighted, so we invite you back for a review after one week. We will make any adjustments to the bondings and give them a real super fine polish.
STEP 5. MAINTAIN
How well you take care of your teeth and gums, alongside your regular lifestyle habits, plays a big part in determining the life of the composite.
Since composite resin is more porous than tooth enamel or porcelain, it can absorb deep-coloured food more easily. Therefore, regular maintenance of your bonding is required to keep them looking great.
