Direct Dental Bonding
Bonding is the use of a direct tooth coloured filing material to improve the strength and appearance of teeth.
Dental bonding is a technique that can improve the smile in a single visit. The process involves the careful build up of dental composite, which is a mouldable material that is sculpted before being set with a curing light.
- From £159 Per Tooth
- From 1.5 Hours
- Less Invasive Treatment
- Colour Match
- Affordable
The material can then be polished and finished to high shine, to match the surrounding tooth substance. Bonding can be used for a variety of cosmetic improvements such as:
- Repairing chipped or broken teeth
- Improve the appearance of dark or discoloured teeth
- Close spaces between teeth
- Make teeth look longer
- Change the shape of teeth
- Protect and cover the exposed portion of the root in gum recession.
The procedure for direct dental bonding
The surface of the tooth will be roughened and an etching liquid applied. These procedures help the bonding material bond to the tooth. The tooth-coloured, putty-like resin is then applied, moulded, and smoothed to the desired shape. A light is then used to harden the material. After the material is hardened, it is trimed, shaped, and polished it to match the shine of the rest of the tooth surface.
Although Dental Bonding can be used for a number of situations, the main drawbacks of bonding is that it is not as strong long-term as other restorative materials such as ceramic or porcelain, and it has a tendency to stain.

After completing my Invisalign treatment, I decided to make extra little improvements to complete my smile using the boutique home whitening system and composite bonding. Dr Neal Heaher was truly brilliant, he explained the whole procedure thoroughly and covered every question I had to ask. His knowledge is truly exceptional and attention to detail is superb! I am over the moon with my completed smile, and would recommend Dr Heaher to anyone. Thank you to Hannah also, she is an excellent nurse and together both Neal and Hannah are a brilliant team. I feel like we are friends when I attend for regular check ups now, and can talk about anything other than teeth!! Great practice all round thank you!

I am lost for words with my new smile….it’s been a long journey and thanks to Neal I have the perfect smile finally! I’m so happy with the results and have so much more confidence. The difference is unreal and I am so glad I booked in for a consultation when I did. Thank you so much for everything x

For several years I had been very self conscious about one of my front teeth and this meant I was reluctant to smile when being photographed. My NHS dentist did what she could but with limited success so I decided to splash out on cosmetic dentistry and I am delighted with what Andy achieved. Not only am I now prepared to smile for photographs but my bite has improved too!
