Perfect your teeth and bring back your smile
One of our least invasive tooth recovery procedures, composite bonding and composite edge bonding is suitable for all ages and can restore a cracked, chipped or broken tooth to its former shine. Considered a quick and easy dental bonding solution, composite bonding can repair minor gaps and damage to the teeth and leave you with a confident smile, using a resin which is chosen to reflect your natural teeth.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure which offers similar results to veneers, but through a less invasive process. Our composite bonding service in Essex is often the preferred course of action for minor damage and gaps between the teeth, applying a carefully selected resin to the imperfection which is then put under a UV light to harden the formula. The resin is then shaped and coloured to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Composite bonding can also be used to help combat discolouration and fractures or gaps between your natural teeth. The results look and feel natural and leave your teeth looking more uniform and well presented.
When is composite bonding required?
When imperfect teeth are getting you down, composite edge bonding is a fast and effective cosmetic fix which can be completed in a single dental session. The alternative procedures such as veneers and crowns require the removal of part of the existing tooth, whereas composite bonding works with your existing tooth as a foundation and builds on it.
What are the advantages of having the treatment?
Composite bonding is quick, easy, painless and can restore a confident and beaming smile in a single trip to the dentist. By using a resin which is applied to the natural tooth, composite bonding allows for imperfections to be glossed over and fixed without any trauma to the rest of the tooth.
Composite tooth bonding is also less expensive than some alternative treatments and is by far the least invasive treatment to undergo.
How much does the treatment cost?
Our Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics Composite bonding treatment starts at £300 per tooth.
The procedure can be completed in a single session, following a full consultation. If you are planning on getting your teeth whitened as part of your smile renovation, we recommend getting this done prior to your composite bonding treatment.

Composite Bonding FAQs
How long does composite bonding last?
Composite bonding typically lasts between 5 to 7 years, depending on factors such as the location of the bonding in your mouth, your oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle choices like smoking or consuming staining foods. At Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics, we use high-quality materials to ensure the best possible results. Regular dental check-ups and cleans are crucial to prolong the life of your composite bonding.
Additionally, avoiding habits like biting nails or chewing on hard objects can prevent damage to the bonding. While composite bonding is durable, it is not as long-lasting as veneers or crowns, so some maintenance or touch-ups may be required over time. If you experience any chipping or discolouration, we recommend scheduling an appointment to assess the bonding and discuss your options for repair or replacement.
