No pain, no injections, single visit smile transformation: composite bonding at our private dental practice in Chapel Allerton, Leeds LS7.

Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to reshape and repair teeth, covering chips, closing small gaps and evening out your smile. The material is applied directly to the surface of the tooth, so there’s usually no need for injections or drilling, and treatment is normally completed in a single visit to our practice in Chapel Allerton.

Bonding works best for one tooth or a small number of teeth. For larger changes, we may suggest veneers, and if your teeth are crooked, straightening them first with Invisalign can give a better result.

Looking after your bonding

Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and keep up regular hygienist visits to keep the bonding polished. Composite can pick up stains, so rinse after tea, coffee and red wine, and avoid biting your nails or hard objects such as pens.

Your questions

Composite bonding FAQs

For independent advice, the Oral Health Foundation has a helpful guide to veneers and bonding.

How long does composite bonding last?
With good care, bonding typically lasts several years and can last up to ten. Over time it may need polishing, a touch-up or replacement, which is quick and straightforward.
Can you whiten composite bonding?
No. Bonding keeps the colour it was made in, so if you would like whiter teeth we recommend whitening first. We then match the bonding to your new shade.
Does it hurt?
Usually not. Bonding adds material to the tooth rather than removing it, so in most cases no injections or drilling are needed.
Bonding or veneers?
Bonding is ideal for smaller changes to one or a few teeth and is done in a single visit. Porcelain veneers are stronger and more stain-resistant, and suit bigger changes to several teeth.
Is composite bonding reversible?
Usually, yes. Because little or none of your natural tooth is removed, bonding can normally be polished away or replaced in the future. This makes it a good first step if you are unsure about more permanent treatment.
