Composite bonding in Wandsworth

Composite bonding is a tooth-coloured material sculpted on to the surface of a tooth and set hard with a light. It is used to repair chips, close small gaps, even out uneven edges and change the shape of teeth, usually without drilling healthy tooth.

A composite bonded veneer covering the front of a tooth is from £495 per tooth. Smaller repairs, such as a single chipped edge, are priced after an assessment. A smile consultation is free, and you will have exact costs in writing before treatment.

Usually no tooth needs to be removed. The surface is lightly prepared so the composite can bond to it, which means bonding can often be adjusted, repaired or replaced later.

Bonding lasts for years with good cleaning, regular hygiene visits and a night guard if you grind your teeth. It can pick up stains and wear over time, and can be repolished, repaired or refreshed when it does.

Bonding is gentler and quicker, and is often the right first choice. Porcelain veneers resist staining better and can make larger changes. We will show you both options and explain which suits your teeth.
