Dreaming of a flawless smile without braces or invasive treatments? Composite bonding could be the solution you’ve been looking for. At The Beresford Dental Clinic in Central London, we specialise in creating stunning, natural-looking smiles using this quick and affordable cosmetic treatment.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about composite bonding, from the benefits and process to costs and maintenance.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-coloured resin to reshape, repair, and enhance the appearance of teeth. It’s an ideal option for improving the shape, size, and colour of your teeth without drilling or damaging the natural tooth structure.
Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding is minimally invasive, pain-free, and completed in just one visit.
No injections, no drilling, and no waiting weeks for results. Most treatments are completed in a single appointment.
Compared to veneers, composite bonding is a cost-effective way to enhance your smile.
The resin is shade-matched to your teeth for a seamless finish.
Pair it with teeth whitening, Invisalign, or AirFlow polishing for the ultimate smile makeover.
Composite bonding is perfect if you want to:
✔ Close small gaps between teeth
✔ Repair chips or cracks
✔ Improve the shape or length of teeth
✔ Cover stains or discolouration
✔ Create a more symmetrical smile
The procedure is simple and usually takes up to 3 hours for a full smile make over:
Consultation and Smile Design – We assess your smile goals and plan your treatment.
Shade Matching – The resin is colour-matched to your natural teeth.
Application and Shaping – The resin is applied, sculpted, and hardened with a special light.
Polishing – Your new smile is polished for a smooth, natural look.
With proper care, composite bonding can last more than 10 years.
Tips to make it last longer:
Avoid biting nails or opening packages with your teeth.
Minimise staining foods and drinks (coffee, red wine).
Maintain regular dental check-ups and hygiene visits.

Does composite bonding hurt?
No, it’s pain-free and usually doesn’t require anaesthetic.
Can you whiten bonded teeth?
Whitening doesn’t change composite resin, so whiten first, then bond.
Is composite bonding permanent?
No, but it can be touched up or replaced easily.
Does composite bonding stain?
It can stain over time, but regular hygiene visits and good oral care help keep it looking great.
