What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is recognised as an alternative to veneers and crowns, with all three treatments designed to improve the surface look of teeth. 

Dental composite bonding uses a specially formulated resin to cover and reshape natural teeth, filling gaps, covering cracks, and concealing notable discolouration and stains. Crucially, this resin is first applied and shaped before being refined, filed, and blended into the surrounding teeth, achieving a perfectly natural and seamless finish.  

In short, composite bonding is a solution that builds upon the foundation of a patient’s natural teeth, creating a new exterior that enhances and boosts their smile.  

The Advantages of Composite Bonding in Ilford

When compared with some of the other cosmetic dental procedures available here at Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics, composite bonding is one of the more minor options, though its impact and results are huge. 

Composite bonding, unlike veneers and crowns, doesn’t require the partial or full removal of existing teeth; instead building upon them to simply create a new outer layer and finish. It is not invasive and doesn’t cause any pain or discomfort, which makes it an ideal treatment option for nervous patients as well as those looking to boost their smile.  

Bluebell’s Composite Bonding Packages

With all that in mind, what does dental composite bonding in Ilford look like, and what do our packages include? 

The cost of composite bonding will vary depending on the extent of the treatment and the number of teeth being treated. At Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics, our composite bonding packages start at £300 per tooth.  

This package price includes the initial consultation, the bonding procedure itself, and any necessary aftercare advice. More complex cases or those requiring additional reshaping may incur higher fees. 

Who is Composite Bonding For?

Composite bonding is an alternative to veneers and crowns. While not necessarily as long-lasting as veneers, which fall under our long-term cosmetic treatment list, composite bonding is both a more comfortable and a more affordable option for patients. 

It is especially popular among patients with minor damage to their teeth or stubborn discolouration, who want to improve the overall look of their smile.  

Composite Bonding FAQS

Anyone can access composite bonding treatment, though it is important to note that this is a cosmetic treatment and so is not covered by NHS funding. It is an ideal solution to minor aesthetic issues, including chips, cracks, and gaps.  

One huge advantage of composite bonding at Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics is the precision of our leading dental practitioners. Once the bonding has been applied and dried, it is filed to ensure a seamless and entirely natural finish, with results typically lasting between 5 and 7 years with the right care. 

Nervous clients often ask whether composite bonding hurts. When done correctly, composite bonding and its effective results can be achieved with no pain or discomfort to the patient and no trauma to the tooth.

Patients walk away from a composite bonding procedure with an instantly transformed smile, making this an excellent option for those who want effective and efficient results.

We’ve referred to composite bonding as an alternative to veneers, but how do the two differ? Veneers require the part-removal of the tooth being treated, making this a more invasive and expensive procedure. By contrast, composite bonding builds upon the natural tooth as a foundation, simply creating a new surface layer for a clean and vibrant aesthetic.
