Composite Bonding
Composite Bonding Care at 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice
Are your teeth appearing a little uneven, or do you have minor cosmetic chips along the edges? If so, composite bonding offers an excellent solution to restore their appearance right here at our Dental Practice in Marylebone. Beyond subtly filling tiny chips and gaps, the high-quality material used in composite bonding can also significantly help to brighten your smile, making it ideal for areas of discolouration.
Our patients consistently love the results of this popular treatment, as it naturally enhances the teeth without creating an artificial look. Furthermore, composite bonding can often serve as a more cost-effective alternative to other cosmetic treatments, all while preserving the natural strength, structure, and essential function of your teeth.

Your Composite Bonding Journey
1. Composite Bonding Consultation
Embarking on any dental treatment journey at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice in Marylebone begins with a thorough, in-depth consultation. This crucial first step allows us to fully assess your smile and review your complete dental history. It also provides you with the perfect opportunity to discuss your desired treatment in detail with our expert team, all with absolutely no commitment.
2. Treatment
At 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice in Marylebone, composite bonding involves applying a putty-like, tooth-coloured resin to your smile. This material is then expertly sculpted and hardened under a UV light, providing fast, painless, and lasting results. While some small preparation of the tooth surface is required, the treatment is not considered invasive.
For an even brighter smile, composite bonding can be used in conjunction with teeth whitening, with the whitening typically carried out first and the resin perfectly matched to your new shade.
3. Aftercare
At our Marylebone clinic, our dentists are committed to dental excellence – so in our minds, the treatment doesn’t end when we put down our tools. With this treatment, it’s essential to maintain good hygiene and attend regular check-ups, and avoid staining foods and drinks, as well as activities and habits which could potentially damage the resin (for instance, chewing pen lids).
Your questions answered
about composite bonding at 19 Wimpole Street Dental Practice
No pain is typically expected during your procedure at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice in Marylebone. We are experts at ensuring our patients remain completely comfortable throughout their visit. In fact, for those who may feel anxious, we can even employ advanced techniques such as dental sedation in necessary cases to ensure a relaxed and stress-free experience.
For advantages, composite bonding is a quick, easy treatment that can often be carried out in a single visit. It’s highly effective, with most people not able to tell you’ve had the procedure. And, minimal preparation (filing) of the tooth is needed, so it’s kinder on your smile than other options.
However, composite bonding isn’t for every smile. In some cases, existing damage to the tooth may require a more extensive option, such as a crown, and you’ll likely need to repeat the composite bonding procedure in the future (though with good care, your results should last several years). Finally, teeth that have been treated with composite bonding can’t be lightened through teeth whitening (the reason whitening is often suggested before the treatment).
At our Marylebone dental practice, composite bonding is widely considered a very low-risk treatment. While it offers excellent aesthetic enhancements, it is worth noting that the natural enamel of your teeth is inherently stronger than the composite material used. Our expert team at 19 Wimpole St Dental Practice will discuss all aspects to ensure you’re fully informed about your composite bonding procedure.
Composite bonding is long-lasting, but will likely need touching up in the future. Having regular dental check-ups can help identify when it’s time for more treatment.
Crowns and veneers are alternatives for chipped and damaged teeth, while teeth whitening may lift a discoloured smile.
