Composite bonding is a quick and safe way to transform your smile, with most procedures completed in just one visit. They are less invasive than veneers as more of the natural tooth is preserved. It’s often a more cost-effective option depending on the work needed.
Speed: Many composite bonding procedures are completed in one visit, instantly transforming smiles
Less invasive: especially compared to veneers, less of the tooth is lost when applying composite bonding
Cost effective: Depending on the extent of work, it can prove more cost effective than other procedures
Aesthetic control: materials and colours can be closely matched to existing teeth, allowing full control
The treatment allows full control over the aesthetics. Materials and colours can be closely matched to your existing teeth for a seamless finish. However, composite resin is not as strong or durable as porcelain, which means it may chip or wear over time. It’s also more prone to staining than porcelain.
It’s often used for minor corrections, whereas straightening and veneers might be required for more dramatic change.

Qualification Masters in Dental Surgery, Leeds 2017.
Bio I graduated from Leeds in 2017 with a Masters in dental surgery. Since qualifying I've worked in a general practice in Birmingham before moving back to Cardiff.
I've completed my sedation training and now an accredited IV sedationist.
I'm undertaking my implant training in London and Brazil and I'm excited to start offering this to my patients.
Composite bonding is often compared to veneers, but unlike veneers which are custom-made and require multiple dentist visits, composite bonding can be a much quicker and straightforward process.
It’s less costly, and less invasive, hence its popularity, but for more extensive issues veneers are often a better option.
Bonding resin is similar to the material used in fillings, but whereas fillings are used for cavities, bonding tends to be more widely used for fixing cosmetic and aesthetic issues. Some of these issues are listed below.
Bonding may be used in place of straightening or other orthodontic treatments if the alignment is less severe, or more cosmetic.
Our patients love composite bonding as it can completed in one appointment, sending you home with your new smile in as little as sixty minutes! Here’s what you can expect on the day:
Consultation
We’ll examine your teeth and determine if composite bonding is right for you. You can tell us about your goals and expectations for your teeth. If bonding is right for you, we’ll match the colour of our resin to your natural teeth. You may want us to whiten your teeth first.
Teeth prep
Anesthesia is often not needed unless there is decay. Composite bonding is otherwise completely painless. To help the bonding grip firmly, we’ll roughen the tooth surface, using a pumice paste followed by a powder and then you’re ready to receive your treatment.
Application
We’ll then apply a resin, matched to your natural colour, and skilfully mould it into the desired shape. We’ll then use a blue light to harden the resin. This process can take just thirty minutes. If you’re having multiple teeth or more complex work done, of course it may take longer. If you have very specific wishes as to how you want your teeth to look after, we may deem it necessary to involve a smile design by our dental laboratory technicians. This means an extra visit or two beforehand. This will be discussed at consultation.
Final touches
We’ll then trim and shape the resin so it’s a perfect fit and matches your desired expectations. We’ll polish the tooth, and then show you your new smile!
Follow up and aftercare
We may ask you to return in a few weeks to check on the state of the bond and tweak if needed. The procedure is very safe and discomfort during the procedure is uncommon. Aftercare, however is of key importance and we ask patients to be ‘top of the class’ in terms of their dental hygiene after undergoing teeth bonding of any type. You will be advised to see our hygienist annually for polishing of the composite.

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive treatment that is used to fix any small chips or cracks in the teeth.
It can also be used to smooth over small areas any aesthetic displeasure of individual teeth.
To fully change the shape or length of your smile, composite veneers may be more suitable.
This is a tricky one as it will depend on several factors outside of our control based on your lifestyle.
The way your teeth bite together, the foods and drinks you consume, and how well they are taken care of will determine how long the treatment will last.
Composite bonding is prone to chipping and staining; therefore, taking good care of them is a must.
Composite bonding can be used to close gaps that are present in your smile, and is sometimes the best option.
Most of the time though if the gaps are large then the best option is a combination of teeth straightening plus composite bonding.
Top of the class oral hygiene is a must to ensure your composite bonding stays in tip top condition.
Composite bonding can stain easily depending on the types of foods and drinks you have, so keeping on top of your cleaning is essential.
We would recommend basic daily hygiene such as flossing, using mouthwash, and brushing every day.
On top of that, a yearly check-up and scale and polish with your own hygienist can help maintain your teeth and the composite bonding.
Because composite bonding can vary wildly in complexity, prices vary. At Bamboo Cosmetic Dentistry, we charge £600 per hour.
The importance of a good smile cannot be overstated, and composite bonding is a fast and cost-effective way to improve teeth which are chipped, broken, worn or damaged. Compared to more costly treatments, the results can be life-changing – relatively inexpensively!
Composite bonding treatment is highly durable if cared for once fitted. Expect your treatment to last five to ten years, if cared for properly (and depending on a number of other factors like age, lifestyle ,diet, etc.)
Composite bonding is a popular procedure given it is relatively inexpensive compared to a treatment like porcelain veneers. Depending on the complexity of the work you need, it’s often more cost-effective than veneers.
Composite bonding is suitable for most patients who have good basic oral hygiene. For cases where cavities or gum disease is an issue, these should be rectified first, but generally, composite bonding is suitable for all ages.
