Composite bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available. It involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material to the surface of teeth to improve their shape, colour, or size. It can be completed in a single appointment and requires no removal of tooth structure in most cases.
What Can Composite Bonding Fix?
Composite bonding is effective for a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, discolouration that does not respond to whitening, slightly misaligned teeth, and worn or uneven edges.
Is Composite Bonding Available on the NHS?
Composite bonding for cosmetic purposes is generally not available on the NHS. However, composite fillings — which use the same material — are available on the NHS for restoring decayed teeth. Purely cosmetic bonding is a private treatment.
How Much Does Composite Bonding Cost?
The cost of composite bonding in Scotland varies depending on how many teeth are treated and the complexity of the work. It is generally more affordable than porcelain veneers. At GK Dental Hawick, we offer composite bonding for patients across the Scottish Borders. Contact us directly for current pricing.
How Long Does It Last?
Composite bonding typically lasts five to seven years with good care. It can chip if subjected to hard foods or biting nails, but it can usually be repaired easily if damaged.
