Treatment
Composite Bonding
Chips, gaps and worn edges — reshaped in a single visit.
Bonding is the quiet hero of cosmetic dentistry: no drilling, no needles for most cases, and you walk out the same day with the smile you came in wanting.
What is it?
Tooth-coloured composite resin sculpted directly onto your teeth to fix chips, close small gaps, and even out edges — then polished until it's indistinguishable from natural enamel.
Is it for you?
- Chipped, worn or uneven front teeth
- Small gaps you'd like closed without braces
- You want a significant improvement without drilling healthy tooth
The process
How it works
Every step, up front — so nothing about your visit is a surprise.
Smile design
We look at photos of your smile together and agree exactly what to change — and what to keep. Subtle is usually better.
The visit
I sculpt and layer the composite by hand, tooth by tooth. Most cases need no injections and no drilling.
Polish & reveal
The composite is shaped and polished to a natural gloss. You'll see the result immediately.

FAQs
Common questions
The questions I'm asked most about this treatment.
Will it damage my natural teeth?
No — bonding is additive. Your enamel stays intact underneath, which is exactly why I love it as a first option.
How long does bonding last?
Typically 4–7 years before it needs a polish or touch-up. It's easily repaired, which is part of its charm.
Can I whiten my teeth first?
Yes, and you should — composite is colour-matched at the time it's placed, so we whiten first, then match your brighter shade.
