"I can't recommend the dental practice highly enough. After years of issues with London dentists, I was recommended to try Pall Mall Dental and have never looked back. Dr Soneji and his team are extremely kind, courteous and professional and highly skilled! I had to have extensive dental treatment and they took great care of me, explaining everything in detail and reassuring me at every stage. Having moved out of London, I still travel back for any dental check-ups and treatment because there is nobody else I would trust to take such great care of my teeth."
Do you ever catch yourself hiding your smile in photos or covering your mouth when you laugh?
Maybe there’s a chipped tooth that’s been bothering you for years, or a few small gaps you wish would close themselves.
At Pall Mall Dental in London, composite bonding offers a subtle yet highly effective solution. It’s one of the simplest ways to enhance your smile—without drilling, injections or a lengthy treatment process.
Whether you're after a small cosmetic fix or a more noticeable refresh, composite bonding could be what you’ve been looking for. Here’s a closer look at how it works and why so many people are choosing it over more invasive procedures.
Composite bonding (also known as dental bonding or cosmetic bonding) is a non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-coloured resin to reshape, repair or enhance teeth. The material is carefully sculpted by your dentist, then hardened with a special light and polished to match the natural sheen of your surrounding teeth.
Composite bonding can be used to correct a variety of issues, including:
Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding usually requires no removal of healthy tooth structure. It’s quick, comfortable and delivers natural-looking results—often in just one appointment.
One of the biggest advantages of composite bonding is how straightforward it is. In most cases, it takes just one appointment, typically involves no injections, and causes no discomfort. The resin is colour-matched to your existing teeth, so the final result blends in naturally.
Here’s what you can expect during treatment:
It’s as simple as that—no discomfort, no downtime, and no permanent alteration to your tooth structure.

At Pall Mall Dental, we aim to create results that feel like a natural extension of you. Composite bonding appeals to many patients because it delivers subtle improvements with minimal intervention. Here's why it's so well-regarded:
Bonding works well for most people with healthy teeth and gums. It’s especially useful for:
If you have extensive decay, bite issues or major structural damage, we might recommend alternative treatments. We’ll always offer honest guidance based on your needs.
This is one of the most frequent questions we hear—and the simple answer is: no, it generally doesn’t.
Composite bonding is a gentle procedure. In most cases, there’s no need for injections or drilling. Because very little (if any) enamel is removed, most patients report feeling comfortable throughout the process.
If your treatment involves work near the gum line or minor reshaping, your dentist might use a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. But overall, it’s a calm and low-sensitivity experience.
Afterwards, you may notice a bit of sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days, especially if your bite has been adjusted. This usually settles quickly and can be eased with over-the-counter pain relief.
If you’re worried about any part of the process, let us know—we’re here to talk things through and make the experience smooth and stress-free.
With good oral care and maintenance, composite bonding typically lasts between 3 to 7 years—and sometimes longer. While it’s not as strong as porcelain, it’s easy to repair or refresh.
To get the most from your bonding:
Bonded areas can be touched up or re-polished when needed as part of your ongoing dental care.
Whether you’re looking to repair a single tooth or enhance several, composite bonding could be the simplest way to feel more confident about your smile. Our friendly team at Pall Mall Dental is here to guide you through your options—no pressure, no jargon, just honest advice.
Appointments are easy to arrange, and your consultation will give you a full understanding of what’s possible and what suits your teeth best.
Let us help you feel confident about your smile again.
