Composite bonding at Outwood Dental Care
Composite bonding is a quick, gentle way to repair chips, gaps, or uneven teeth, often in a single appointment.
At Outwood Dental Care, composite bonding is provided by Gurjit Bains, who particularly enjoys composite work, and Jamaal Sheikh. They use tooth-coloured resin to reshape and restore your teeth. In most cases, no natural tooth needs to be removed, making it a less invasive treatment than veneers.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding (also known as dental bonding or cosmetic bonding) involves applying tooth-coloured resin directly to the surface of your tooth. The resin is shaped to match the natural contours of your smile, then hardened with a curing light. There's usually little or no drilling, which makes it a minimally invasive treatment option.
With good care, composite bonding often lasts five to ten years. Composite bonding is often compared with veneers, and it's usually quicker and more affordable.
How much does composite bonding cost?
The cost of composite bonding depends on how many teeth you'd like to treat and how much work is involved. We'll give you a clear, personalised quote at your consultation before you decide whether to go forward with your treatment.
You can spread the cost of composite bonding with 0% interest-free finance through Tabeo over 3 to 12 months.
What to expect from composite bonding treatment at Outwood Dental Care
Your consultation
We'll talk about what you'd like to improve and check your teeth and gums are healthy. Your dentist will match the resin to your natural tooth shade and explain what to expect, with no pressure to go ahead.
Your treatment
Your dentist will apply the resin in layers, shape it to blend in with the rest of your smile, then harden it with a curing light. It's a comfortable, minimally invasive treatment that is usually completed in a single visit.
Aftercare
Composite bonding can pick up stains from coffee, red wine or smoking, so good oral hygiene and regular hygiene visits help keep it looking fresh. Avoid biting hard objects like pens or ice, so you don’t end up cracking your composite.

Is composite bonding right for you?
Composite bonding can help the appearance and function of your smile if you have minor chips, small gaps between your teeth, uneven edges, slightly misshapen teeth or discolouration that whitening won't fully improve. It can address several of these at once, often in one visit.
If you're not sure whether composite bonding or whitening is the best route, book a consultation with one of our dentists, and we'll talk through the options that suit your goals and budget.
