During composite bonding, premium tooth-coloured resin is applied and shaped directly onto your teeth to adjust their shape, size or overall look. Since little or none of your natural tooth needs removing, it's a gentle cosmetic choice that can often be wrapped up in one sitting. Every tooth is individually shaped and polished by hand so the finished result sits naturally alongside the rest of your smile.
We discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and decide together whether bonding is the right path for your smile.
Before treatment begins, we plan the shape, proportions and appearance of each tooth together with you.
The resin is applied in layers, shaped and polished onto your tooth until the outcome looks completely natural.
You leave with your new smile already in place, along with tips for keeping your bonding looking its best over time.
Nobody likes a surprise bill, us included — every plan is set out in writing up front, so there's nothing unexpected waiting for you at reception.
Each bonding plan is designed around the individual, and finance options are available to spread the cost, subject to eligibility.

With regular check-ups and decent home care, bonding tends to last somewhere between five and ten years, and small touch-ups can usually be made along the way if required.
Very little, if any, natural tooth needs to be removed for bonding, making it one of the gentlest cosmetic options on offer.
Composite resin can, over time, pick up marks from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking, so sticking with regular hygiene visits and daily care keeps it looking its best.
No — injections aren't usually needed, since the treatment takes place on the tooth's surface with minimal preparation.
Bonding can improve teeth that are only mildly uneven or misaligned. Where teeth genuinely need repositioning, Invisalign will give a better result in the long run.
There's no fixed limit — some people just want a single chipped tooth put right, while others opt for a fuller transformation across six, eight or ten teeth.
