Composite bonding
Composite bonding can make subtle changes to tooth shape and surface without routinely removing healthy enamel. Its suitability depends on the bite, tooth position, existing restorations and the change you hope to achieve.
Consultation and suitability
A plan begins with the right questions.
We assess enamel, bite, gum health, tooth colour and alignment. Whitening or orthodontic treatment may sometimes provide a more suitable first step.
No treatment is recommended until benefits, limitations, alternatives and likely maintenance have been discussed in relation to your own oral health.

Direct placement and finishing, often in one visit
- 04
Review, polishing and maintenance advice
Aftercare and considerations
Designed to be maintained.
Composite can stain, chip and require polishing or repair over time. Avoid using bonded teeth to bite hard objects and attend routine reviews.
Questions patients often ask
How will I know whether this is suitable?
Your dentist will explain findings after examination and any appropriate records. If another option better protects your health, it will be discussed.
Will I receive a written cost?
Yes. You receive an itemised estimate after assessment. It may change only if clinical findings or your chosen plan change, which we discuss first.
Can I take time to decide?
Of course. Elective treatment is never rushed; you can review the information and return with questions.
