Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about composite bonding at Aura Dental
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is the application of tooth-coloured resin to reshape edges, close small gaps, repair chips and refine symmetry without drilling healthy enamel.
Is composite bonding painful?
No injections are typically needed. Treatment is gentle and additive, making it one of the least invasive cosmetic options.
How long does composite bonding last?
Most patients enjoy 3–7 years depending on bite, hygiene and habits. Periodic repolishing can refresh the shine and extend longevity.
Does bonding damage my teeth?
Bonding is additive. We preserve enamel and place material on top to achieve the desired shape and finish.
Will composite bonding stain?
Composite can pick up surface stain over time from coffee, red wine and smoking. It can be polished back to a high gloss during maintenance visits.
Can I whiten after composite bonding?
Whitening lightens natural teeth, not composite. We usually whiten first, then colour-match the bonding to the brighter shade.
Is composite bonding good for gaps?
Yes — small spaces and black triangles can often be closed predictably with bonding while keeping the result natural.
Composite bonding vs veneers?
Bonding is minimally invasive and reversible; porcelain veneers are stronger and more colour-stable. We'll advise the least-invasive option to meet your goals.
How long does the appointment take?
Most cosmetic bonding cases take around 1–2 hours depending on the number of teeth and complexity.
Is it suitable after Invisalign®?
Absolutely. Subtle edge bonding is often the final step after orthodontic alignment to perfect shape and symmetry.
How much does composite bonding cost?
Composite bonding starts at £395 per tooth. Full costs are discussed at consultation based on your specific needs.
Is it covered by NHS?
Cosmetic bonding is usually a private treatment. We'll discuss options, timelines and payment plans where appropriate.
