Composite Bonding

Composite bonding, also known as tooth bonding or dental bonding, is a non-invasive treatment that improves the appearance of your natural teeth by applying a resin material to form a new surface layer.

One of the key benefits of composite bonding is its ability to be colour-matched to your existing teeth. The composite resin restores the tooth’s original function while maintaining a natural appearance. Unless you choose to tell them, no one will notice that you’ve had the procedure.

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive treatment. After your consultation, you will be invited back to our warm and welcoming practice, where one of our skilled dentists will colour-match the composite resin to your existing teeth, ensuring a natural shade. Your tooth will then be prepared, and the resin will be applied, hardened, and polished using UV light.

Composite bonding is usually completed in just one sitting. However, if multiple teeth need to be bonded, this may require a couple of appointments. We will discuss this with you based on your oral health and individual needs, tailoring a treatment plan that works best for you.

Our goal is to enhance your smile the way you want, ensuring natural-looking, confident results that improve both the appearance and feel of your teeth. We will also be happy to answer any questions you may have here at Worsley Dental Centre.

When you visit our practice, our knowledgeable team will take the time to discuss the right treatment for you, talking through your oral health history and the goals you’d like to achieve for your smile. There are many benefits of opting for composite bonding treatment, including:

Dental bonding can last up to 5 years if you maintain good oral hygiene after the procedure.

No, composite bonding does not damage your teeth. The procedure is minimally invasive and preserves your natural enamel, ensuring your teeth remain healthy and intact.

No, composite bonding is a painless procedure. It does not require drilling, injections, or removing enamel in most cases, making it a comfortable and non-invasive treatment. Patients typically experience no discomfort during or after the procedure.

Care for your composite bonding as you would your natural teeth. Brush with fluoride toothpaste and floss twice daily. Just like your enamel, composite resin bonding can become stained. To keep your smile looking fresh and white, limit your consumption of food and drinks with a strong colour, such as black coffee and red wine. We also recommend visiting our practice twice a year, or every six months, for your regular dentist and hygienist appointments.

The cost of composite bonding varies depending on the number of teeth treated and your personalised treatment plan. Before treatment begins, your dentist will provide a detailed cost estimate with no hidden fees.

Prices typically range from £200-£500 per tooth, depending on the quality of the composite resin used. At Worsley Dental Centre, we use high-quality yet affordable composite resin, at £350 per tooth, ensuring excellent results at competitive prices.

We also offer:

– Flexible payment plans & 0% finance to make treatment more accessible. Here you can spread the cost easily over affordable monthly payments.

– Complimentary add-ons for additional savings and enhanced results.
