Subtle fixes. Big impact. Same-day smile improvements.
You know those small things that bother you about your teeth? A little chip here. A slight gap there. Maybe one tooth is just a touch shorter or more angled than the others. Nothing spectacular, but enough that you find it evident every time you check in the mirror or view yourself in a picture.
That’s where composite bonding comes in.
At Dentist Wandsworth, we offer composite bonding to help smooth out those little imperfections — quickly, comfortably, and without doing anything drastic. It’s one of those treatments that can make a big difference to how you feel when you smile, without changing the natural character of your teeth.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic treatment where we apply a tooth-coloured resin material to your teeth to reshape or restore them. The material is sculpted directly onto your tooth, blended to match your natural colour, and then hardened with a special light.
It’s kind of like giving your teeth a mini makeover — no drilling, no removing enamel, and no pain. Most of the time, it’s done in a single appointment, and you walk out the door with a more even, polished, and confident smile.
It’s ideal for:
And it works brilliantly alongside whitening treatments, too — often used as a final touch once your teeth are their brightest.
One of those one-size-fits-all things is composite bonding is not. For cosmetic changes, it's ideal; yet, should underlying damage, decay, or a bite problem exist, we may recommend something else that would better fit you. Having said that, bonding is a perfect middle ground for many people—not as complicated or permanent as veneers, but still a strong improvement to your smile.
If you’re unsure, that’s totally fine. We’ll have a proper look, talk about what’s bothering you, and let you know if bonding is the right fit. And if it’s not? We’ll walk you through the options — no pressure, no upselling.
First off, no need to be nervous. There are no needles, no drills, and no recovery time. Most appointments take about an hour or two, depending on how many teeth you’re having done.
We’ll start by colour-matching the composite resin to your natural teeth. Then, we carefully shape and apply the material, harden it, polish it — and that’s pretty much it. It’s precise work, sure, but it’s also completely painless and pretty relaxed from your side of the chair.
You’ll leave with an instantly improved smile, and you can go straight back to work, dinner, or whatever’s next in your day.
With good care, composite bonding can last anywhere from 4–8 years. It depends a bit on your habits — if you’re a nail biter or use your teeth to open things (please don’t), that’ll wear it down faster. Regular check-ups and a bit of TLC go a long way.
We’re a local, friendly team here at Dentist Wandsworth, and we’ve helped loads of patients across Wandsworth and nearby areas boost their smile with bonding. Whether you want to fix just one tooth or refresh your whole look, we’ll help you figure out the best approach — with real advice, clear pricing, and no pushy sales talk.
