Repair chips and gaps with composite bonding
Composite bonding
Composite bonding gently repairs chips, closes gaps, and whitens discoloured teeth in a single appointment
Dental bonding at Pontesbury Dental Practice
Composite bonding is a gentle, effective way to improve chipped, gapped, stained, or uneven teeth. Unlike veneers, composite bonding doesn’t require any changes to your natural tooth structure.
At Pontesbury Dental Practice, our experienced dentists use tooth-coloured resin to reshape and restore your smile in just one appointment. Whether you're looking to fix a single tooth or refresh your whole smile, we'll guide you through every step with care and attention right here in the village.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding (or dental bonding) is a simple cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-coloured composite resin to fix chips, gaps, or discolouration. Your dentist shapes and sculpts the material onto your tooth then hardens it using a curing light.
Because the resin bonds to your natural tooth, there's no need for drilling or removal of healthy tooth structure. Cosmetic bonding typically lasts between five and ten years with proper care, making it a popular alternative to porcelain veneers for patients seeking a more affordable, minimally invasive option.
How much does composite bonding cost?
The cost of composite bonding depends on how many teeth you'd like to treat, and the complexity of the work involved. Our team will give you a clear, written treatment plan during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect. We also maintain up-to-date pricing guidelines on our pricing page.
If you’d like to spread the cost of your composite bonding treatment, we offer 0% finance over 10, 12, or 16 months so you can enjoy your new smile without the upfront cost.

Is composite bonding right for you?
Composite bonding works beautifully for patients looking to repair minor chips, close small gaps, cover discolouration that whitening can't fix, or reshape uneven tooth edges. It's also a great option if you want to improve your smile without committing to more invasive treatments like veneers or crowns.
If you’re not sure if composite bonding is right for you, you can contact us and we’ll be happy to talk you through your options.
