Here at Dental on the Banks, we offer composite bonding in Bournemouth as a way to instantly upgrade your smile. A very popular and sought after treatment, it can be used to improve the shape, size and colour of your teeth.
How does composite bonding work?
Using the composite material (this is what is used in fillings); our aesthetic dentist applies this in layers to your natural teeth. As such, there is no drilling or damage to your natural teeth as the composite material is used to build upon them. No anaesthetic is required either, making this a very comfortable and non-invasive treatment.
What should I get composite bonding for?
If you do not like the look of your teeth for many reasons, composite bonding may be able to help. For example, if your teeth appear uneven and ‘jagged’ at the edges, it can be used to make them more even and uniform in both shape and size. Have some markings or discoloration on your teeth? It can also help to cover and disguise these – leaving you with a stunning and photogenic aesthetic. It can also be used to help close some gaps between teeth as it builds upon them for a more full and wide style of smile.
How much is composite bonding in Bournemouth?
Priced per tooth, composite bonding is £399 per tooth. This is for basically full coverage of the tooth and is also known as composite veneers. If you just require the edges of your teeth to be treated, this is called edge bonding and is priced at £299 per tooth. We also offer payment plans here at Dental on the Banks, so you can start your treatment today and take months to pay in manageable monthly instalments!
How long does composite bonding take and how long does it last?
The great thing about composite bonding is that in the vast majority of cases, it is complete in one single appointment! Depending on how much you need and the look you are trying to achieve, it can take two or more hours to complete. Once complete, it can last for years and years on end (up to ten years in some cases). Our aesthetic dentist will educate you on the best way to maintain and prolong your results and you can always book in for a top-up if and when needed.

While composite bonding works to improve the shape, size and colour of your teeth – it can also be used in certain cases to help some close gaps and make your teeth appear more finished and complete. As such, it is usually one of the last treatments that patients would receive. For example they may start with Invisalign to straighten their smile, this is then followed by teeth whitening to brighten and whiten the teeth and then the smile would be finished with composite bonding as the final finishing touch. Some teeth may only require some composite at the edges of their teeth – this is referred to as edge bonding.
