Transform chipped, gapped, or discoloured teeth in just one appointment. Our expert cosmetic dentists sculpt natural-looking results — no drilling, no pain, instant smile.
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-coloured resin to transform the appearance of your smile — without drilling, injections, or lengthy treatment times.
Unlike porcelain veneers which require removing healthy tooth enamel, composite bonding is applied directly to your existing teeth. Your dentist sculpts and shapes the resin by hand, building up chipped areas, closing gaps, and creating a beautifully balanced smile.
The entire treatment is completed in a single appointment, typically lasting 1-2 hours depending on how many teeth are being treated. You'll walk out with an instantly transformed smile — no temporary restorations, no waiting for lab work, no second visits needed.
Composite bonding can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns in just one appointment.
Restore broken or chipped edges for a complete, natural-looking smile.
Close unwanted spaces without braces for an instantly aligned appearance.
Cover stubborn stains that whitening alone cannot remove.
Reshape irregular or worn teeth for a more symmetrical smile.
Build up undersized teeth for better proportion and aesthetics.
Cosmetically correct slightly crooked teeth without orthodontics.

Our recommendation: Composite bonding is ideal for minor to moderate cosmetic improvements, offering excellent results at a lower cost with no permanent changes to your teeth. For more extensive transformations or severely damaged teeth, porcelain veneers may be more suitable.

Your dentist applies the composite in layers, sculpting each tooth to perfection. The material is hardened with a special curing light between layers.

With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts 5-10 years. Longevity depends on your bite, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle factors like teeth grinding or nail biting. We can easily repair or replace bonding when needed.
No — composite bonding is one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available. Unlike veneers or crowns, we remove little to no natural tooth structure. The procedure is completely reversible and actually protects your teeth.
Composite bonding is virtually painless. In most cases, no anaesthetic is needed as we're not drilling into the tooth. You may feel slight pressure during application, but patients find the procedure very comfortable.
Yes, you can eat immediately after treatment. However, we recommend avoiding very hard foods (ice, hard sweets) and habits like nail biting that could chip the bonding. Normal eating and drinking is absolutely fine.
Composite resin can pick up stains over time, similar to natural teeth. We recommend limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. Regular hygiene visits help keep your bonding looking fresh, and we can polish out minor staining.
At our South Kensington clinic, composite bonding starts from £195 per tooth. The final cost depends on how many teeth need treatment and the complexity of your case. We offer appointments and flexible payment plans.
Real reviews from verified Google patients
“Had a dental cleaning here and the hygienist was super gentle and even applied numbing cream because my teeth are very sensitive. Never had that before so was very appreciated. Great service and care. Would highly recommend to everyone and especially those who are nervous with dentists, have sensitive teeth, or kids.”
“Beyond pleased with this lovely dental clinic. They fitted me in last minute and were so accommodating. Everyone is so lovely and friendly with 10/10 services. Can't recommend enough!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Jack. He was incredibly gentle throughout the entire cleaning process, making sure I was comfortable the whole time. It was hands down the most relaxing cleaning I've ever had. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a kind, professional, and gentle hygienist.”
