Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic option, designed to look natural and discreet because the resin is colour-matched to your existing teeth. In most cases, it is carried out without injections or removal of healthy tooth structure, making it a more conservative alternative to veneers or crowns.
Every treatment journey at our Holborn practice begins with a thorough consultation. Your dentist will assess the health of your teeth and gums, discuss what you would like to change about your smile, and explain whether composite bonding is suitable for you. Where appropriate, alternative options such as orthodontics, professional whitening or porcelain restorations will also be discussed so you can make a fully informed decision. All treatment is provided by GDC-registered clinicians and tailored to your individual needs.
Composite bonding typically lasts several years with good care, although results vary between individuals. Regular check-ups and hygiene visits, gentle brushing twice daily, and avoiding habits such as nail-biting or chewing on hard objects all help preserve your results. Highly pigmented foods and drinks may, over time, affect the appearance of the resin, and occasional polishing or repair may be required.
Help your composite bonding look its best for as long as possible.
Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste.
Slide floss out sideways around bonded edges to avoid lifting.
Reduce coffee, tea, red wine and dark cola; rinse with water afterwards.
Don’t bite nails, pens or ice; cut hard foods like apples into pieces.
Tobacco can discolour resin more quickly than natural enamel.
If you grind or clench, ask us about a protective splint.
