What bonding actually is
Composite is a tooth-coloured resin that we sculpt directly onto your tooth, layer by layer, and harden with a light. Because it’s added rather than cut, the tooth underneath is largely untouched. That’s the biggest argument for bonding over porcelain veneers. If you don’t like the result in five years, the bonding can come off and you still have your own tooth. A prepped veneer can’t be undone.
Edge bonding (£195 a tooth) changes the biting edge: levelling, lengthening or rebuilding a chip. A composite veneer (£295 a tooth) resurfaces the whole visible face of the tooth, so it can also change shade, close a gap and reshape the tooth completely.
The downside is that composite stains more readily than porcelain and chips more easily. Expect to have edges polished or repaired every few years, and to replace bonding after roughly five to eight years. Red wine, coffee and smoking shorten that.
Bonding does well: chipped incisal edges, small gaps and black triangles, worn-down front teeth, mildly rotated teeth, teeth that are slightly too short, uneven edges, and masking small discolourations.
Bonding struggles with: heavily discoloured teeth (tetracycline staining, dead teeth), significantly crooked teeth, and cases where you grind heavily. If your teeth are noticeably crooked, adding composite to disguise the position makes them look bulky and unnatural. Better to do Invisalign first to get the teeth in position, then bonding to finish the edges. It costs more and takes longer, but it’s the right order, and we’ll tell you if that applies to you.
Whiten first, bond second
Composite can’t be whitened. The bonding is matched to whatever shade your natural teeth are on the day, and it stays that shade. So if you’re thinking about whitening at any point, do it before bonding, not after. Power whitening is £250 and home trays £350, and we leave two weeks between whitening and bonding for the shade to settle.
Patients who bond first and whiten later end up with bright natural teeth and darker composite that no longer matches. It’s a very common mistake, and an easy one to avoid.
Looking after bonding
Don’t bite your nails, open packaging with your teeth or chew pens. Composite edges chip. If you grind at night, a nightguard (£195) protects the bonding. Keep up your hygiene appointments, because a polish keeps surface staining down. And bonding needs looking after over the years; it won’t last forever untouched.

Composite bonding Stanmore FAQs
How much does composite bonding cost?
Edge bonding is £195 per tooth and a composite veneer £295 per tooth at Toothi. Most patients treat the four or six upper front teeth: four teeth of edge bonding is £695 and six is £995; four composite veneers are £1,095 and six £1,595. You get a written quote before we start.
How long does composite bonding last?
Five to eight years with reasonable care, with occasional repolishing along the way. Chips can usually be repaired rather than redone.
Does it hurt?
Almost never. We’re adding material rather than drilling the tooth, so most bonding is done with no anaesthetic at all.
Will it look fake?
Not if it’s done properly. Good bonding has translucency at the edges, a bit of surface texture and a shade that matches the teeth next to it. Bad bonding is flat, opaque and too white, and that’s what people are picturing when they say they don’t want it to look fake.
Can bonding close gaps?
Yes, small to moderate gaps very well. Close a very large gap with bonding alone and the teeth look too wide, so we’d usually suggest closing most of the space with aligners and finishing with bonding.
Can bonding be removed?
Yes, and that’s the point. It can be polished off and your natural tooth is still there. If you’re unsure, that’s the main reason to choose it over veneers.
