Our holistic and biological dentists in London use biocompatible material for composite bonding treatment. They work with the body, not against it. They are non-reactive materials. They are less likely to cause allergies or contain potential carcinogens. We can even carry out a BioComp Labs Biocompatibility testing to look for your least reactive dental materials
Our composite materials are tooth-coloured, but more importantly, they are:
- Non-toxic
- Free from BPA and Bis-GMA
- Fluoride-free
- Metal-free
- Mercury-free
What Is Composite Bonding?
If you are worried about the materials in your mouth, we offer compatibility testing. This is the next level to prevent any potential adverse reactions to the dental materials that we use.
Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment. It is used to improve the shape, color, and appearance of patients’ teeth. It uses the same resin material used for white fillings, and is most frequently used on the front teeth – those that show when you smile. The materials for bonding dentistry have advanced in recent years. This means composite bonding can hide small imperfections in the front teeth. It can also close small gaps between teeth and hide slight tooth rotations. And, it does this without damaging your natural tooth structure.
Composite bonding is a pain-free experience that requires, in most cases, just one visit to the practice. Your cosmetic dentist will choose a shade of composite resin that closely matches your natural teeth. The results will look natural and enhance your smile seamlessly.
Our dental bondings are crafted from high-quality composite material, ensuring durability and longevity. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite resin bonds integrate with your natural tooth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. This makes cosmetic bonding an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance their smile without compromising the integrity of their teeth.
How does composite bonding work?
- Shade Selection: Your cosmetic dentist picks a shade of composite resin that matches the natural color of your teeth.
- Application: The resin is carefully applied to your teeth, with no need for any extensive preparation or damage to them.
- Shaping and Smoothing: Your dentist then meticulously shapes and smooths the resin to hide any imperfections, such as gaps between teeth or minor rotations, ensuring a result that looks entirely natural.
- Hardening: Once the resin has been shaped, it is hardened very quickly with the help of a special curing light.
- Final Touches: The bonded area is polished to perfection, blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
While composite bonding London doesn’t last as long as veneers, many patients find it offers great value. It can also be repeated and touched up with no damage to your natural tooth structure, making it a flexible option for maintaining a beautiful smile.

FAQs
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where a natural tooth‑coloured resin is applied to chips, gaps or misshaped teeth. It is sculpted, cured with a light, then polished for a seamless finish, transforming your smile.
Composite bonding is minimally invasive, often requiring no drilling or anaesthetic. Some patients may experience very mild temperature sensitivity afterward, but it typically resolves quickly.
Longevity varies by care and the individual’s habits. In the UK, estimates range from 3 to 10 years, most commonly around 5-7 years. With excellent oral hygiene, it can extend up to 10 years or more.
Composite bonding is suitable for people who have healthy teeth and gums (no untreated decay or gum disease) that want minor cosmetic improvements, such as repairing chips, closing small gaps, or reshaping teeth. If you have extensive dental problems or very large gaps, alternative treatments may be recommended.
No. It is not possible to bleach composite resin. If you would like to whiten your teeth prior to composite bonding treatment, our dentists will recommend the most suitable professional teeth whitening treatment beforehand for the best colour match.
Here at Optimal Dental health, composite bonding costs from £300 per tooth. Prices will vary depending on how many teeth are treated and the amount of composite resin used. Book your cosmetic consultation today to find out more.
Some people may find their composite bonding can stain over time if they frequently have coffee, tea, red wine, certain coloured foods, or if they are a smoker. We can make custom made whitening trays to top up the colour. Some people may find that their bonding may chip if they suffer from grinding (bruxism) or use their teeth as tools, such as biting open wrappers, biting nails etc. We can make you a night guard to help protect against this.
