A natural finish from a gentle treatment with results you can see straight away.
During composite bonding, high-quality tooth-coloured resin is applied and sculpted directly onto your teeth to change their shape, size or overall appearance. Because little or no natural tooth needs to be removed, it's a gentle cosmetic route that can often be completed in a single sitting. Every tooth is shaped and polished by hand so the finished look blends naturally with the rest of your smile.
- Drilling generally isn't required
- Often completed in a single appointment
- Repairs chips and worn edges
- Closes unwanted gaps
- Improves tooth shape and symmetry
- A smooth, natural-looking finish

With decent home care and regular check-ups, bonding typically lasts around five to ten years, and small touch-ups can generally be made along the way if needed.
Very little natural tooth needs removing for bonding, making it one of the gentlest cosmetic treatments available.
Composite resin can pick up marks from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking over time, so keeping up with hygiene visits and daily care helps it stay looking its best.
No — injections usually aren't needed, since treatment happens on the tooth's surface with very little preparation involved.
Bonding can help teeth that are only mildly uneven or misaligned. Where teeth genuinely need repositioning, Invisalign will give a longer-lasting result.
There's no set limit — some people want just one chipped tooth sorted, while others choose a fuller makeover across six, eight or ten teeth.
