Sculpt and restore your teeth
Composite bonding is a relatively quick and minimally invasive way to improve the appearance of your teeth. At Oswyn House Dental Practice, we use high-quality, tooth-coloured resin to carefully sculpt and restore your teeth, giving you a natural, beautiful result. It’s painless, often completed in a single visit, and can dramatically enhance your smile without removing your natural tooth structure.
Composite bonding isn’t as durable as other treatments like veneers and is best suited for minor cosmetic changes rather than major repairs. Despite these limitations, composite bonding is an excellent option for achieving a beautiful smile with minimal tooth destruction.
What are the benefits?
Composite bonding provides a quick solution to enhance your smile with natural-looking results.
Minimally invasive – Preserves your natural tooth structure with little to no drilling.
Quick and affordable – Achieve great results without a lengthy or expensive process.
Natural-looking results – Tooth-coloured resin blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Our Composite Bonding process
1.
Assessment & Smile Design
Every case begins with a careful evaluation of your teeth, bite, and smile line. We discuss your goals—whether it’s closing gaps, repairing chips, or enhancing overall harmony.

Smile Preview with Mock-up
For many patients, we ask our dental laboratory to create a mock-up of the proposed improvements on a model of your teeth. This allows you to preview your new smile before treatment begins. We can even do a “try-in” directly in your mouth, so you can see and feel the transformation in advance.
3.
Shade Matching
Using a palette of advanced resin materials, we meticulously select the perfect shade to match your natural enamel. This is crucial for seamless, invisible results.
4.
Tooth Preparation
Unlike crowns or veneers, bonding often requires no drilling and no anaesthesia. The tooth is simply cleaned and its surface gently etched to help the material adhere.
5.
Application of Composite Resin
Layer by layer, a high-quality composite resin is applied. Each layer is sculpted with precision, shaping contours that mimic natural enamel.
6.
Curing with Light
A special curing light hardens the resin instantly, locking the new shape into place.
7.
Finishing & Polishing
The bonded tooth is refined, polished, and smoothed until it blends flawlessly with surrounding teeth. The result: natural brilliance with strength and beauty.

Your frequently asked questions
Composite bonding is usually completed in one visit, often within 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of teeth treated.
No. The procedure usually requires little to no anaesthesia and is generally painless.
Composite bonding is ideal for small chips, gaps, and worn edges but may not be suitable for larger restorations or severely damaged teeth.
With proper care, composite bonding can last between 5 and 7 years before it may need touch-ups or replacement.
Composite resin can stain from foods and drinks like coffee and red wine, so good oral hygiene and avoiding staining habits help maintain its appearance. Regular polishing can also help to maintain the lustre and appearance of the composite bonding.
