Dental Bonding

Composite Veneer Freehand £250 per tooth

What it is?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied to your teeth to correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration.

Procedure:

The dentist selects a resin shade that matches your natural teeth.

The tooth surface is prepared, and the resin is applied, shaped, and hardened using a special light.

The bonded area is then polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Pros:

  • Quick and Convenient: Often completed in a single visit.
  • Minimally Invasive: Requires little to no removal of tooth enamel.
  • Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than other cosmetic options.
  • Natural Appearance: The resin is matched to your tooth color for a seamless look.

Cons:

  • Durability: Less durable than other options; may chip or stain over time.
  • Longevity: Typically lasts between 2 to 3 years before needing touch-ups or replacement.
