Question 1

Is composite bonding cheaper than veneers in Islington?

Accepted Answer

Yes, significantly. Composite bonding in Islington costs £150–£350 per tooth compared to £400–£1,200 per tooth for porcelain veneers. Bonding is also reversible and done in a single visit, making it a popular first step for patients exploring cosmetic improvements.

Question 2

Can I get a same-day smile makeover with bonding in Islington?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several Islington clinics near Angel specialise in same-day composite bonding smile makeovers covering 4–8 teeth in a single appointment. These typically take 2–4 hours and results are immediate. Multi-tooth package discounts are commonly offered.

Question 3

How much does composite bonding cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Composite bonding typically costs £250 to £450 per tooth in the UK. The total cost depends on how many teeth are treated, the complexity of the case, and the experience of the cosmetic dentist. Most patients treat 4 to 8 teeth for a full smile enhancement.

Question 4

Does composite bonding damage your teeth?

Accepted Answer

No. Composite bonding is minimally invasive. In most cases, no drilling or enamel removal is required. The composite resin is applied directly to the tooth surface and sculpted into shape. This makes it one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available.

Question 5

How long does composite bonding last?

Accepted Answer

Composite bonding typically lasts 3 to 7 years depending on oral hygiene, diet, grinding habits, and the quality of the original placement. Regular polishing and maintenance appointments help preserve the appearance and extend the lifespan.

Question 6

Can composite bonding fix gaps in teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Composite bonding is one of the most effective ways to close small gaps (diastemas) between teeth without orthodontics. The composite resin is built up on either side of the gap to create a natural looking closure.

Question 7

Is composite bonding reversible?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Because little to no enamel is removed during placement, composite bonding can often be removed or replaced without permanent changes to the underlying tooth. This is one of its key advantages over porcelain veneers.

Question 8

Composite bonding vs veneers: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Composite bonding is ideal for subtle enhancements, small chips, and gap closure. It's more affordable and usually reversible. Porcelain veneers offer greater durability (10 to 15+ years), more precise aesthetics, and are better suited for full smile transformations. Your cosmetic dentist can advise which is right for your goals.

Question 9

Can I eat normally after composite bonding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you should avoid very hard or sticky foods that could chip or dislodge the bonding. Avoid biting directly into hard foods like apples or crusty bread with bonded teeth. With reasonable care, composite bonding is durable for everyday eating.

Question 10

How do I maintain composite bonding?

Accepted Answer

Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental appointments. Avoid staining habits like smoking or excessive coffee and red wine. Regular professional polishing keeps the bonding looking smooth and natural. Your dentist may recommend touch ups every few years.
