What our patients say
Pall Mall Dental £ London 020 7766 7150 Pall Mall Dental

"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.

WHAT IS COMPOSITE BONDING?

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:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Uneven edges or short teeth
  • Minor gaps between teeth
  • Slight crowding or overlap
  • Discolouration that doesn’t respond to teeth whitening

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.

A GENTLE, NO-FUSS EXPERIENCE

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:

  1. Shade Matching – Your dentist will select a resin colour that closely matches your natural teeth.
  2. Application – The tooth surface is gently prepared, and the resin is applied directly—no drilling required.
  3. Shaping – The resin is sculpted and smoothed to correct any visible imperfections.
  4. Hardening – A special curing light is used to set the material within seconds.
  5. Polishing – Finally, the tooth is polished to achieve a smooth, natural-looking finish.

It’s as simple as that—no discomfort, no downtime, and no permanent alteration to your tooth structure.

THE COMPOSITE BONDING PROCEDURE

We understand that cosmetic treatments can feel like a big step. That’s why we explain everything clearly and ensure you’re comfortable at each stage. Here’s what typically happens during composite bonding at Pall Mall Dental:

  1. Step 1: Consultation & Smile Assessment
    We begin by discussing what you’d like to improve. Whether it’s one tooth or several, we assess your teeth and gums to make saure bonding is suitable. Photos or digital scans might be used to help plan the final result.
  2. Step 2: Shade Matching
    We select a composite resin that matches your natural tooth colour. If you’re planning teeth whitening too, we usually do that first, then bond once the final shade has settled.
  3. Step 3: Tooth Preparation
    There’s usually no drilling involved. We lightly roughen the surface of the tooth to help the bonding material stick securely. Most people don’t need anaesthetic for this step.
  4. Step 4: Sculpting the Resin
    The resin is applied in layers and shaped by hand to get the desired form. This part is a blend of science and artistry.
  5. Step 5: Hardening & Polishing
    Once we’re happy with the shape, the resin is hardened using a special light, then polished until it looks and feels similar to natural enamel.
    Most appointments take between 30 and 60 minutes per tooth, depending on the level of detail.

Composite Bonding FAQs

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:

  1. Minimally Invasive
    No drilling. No needles. And nothing permanent done to your natural teeth. Bonding enhances your smile while keeping your tooth structure intact.
  2. Same-Day Results
    Most treatments are completed in a single visit. You’ll leave with a refreshed, natural-looking smile that same day.
  3. Natural Finish
    We use high-quality resin carefully matched to your natural tooth shade. Once sculpted and polished, it blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
  4. Versatile Applications
    Bonding can resolve several cosmetic concerns at once—whether it’s evening out edges, closing small gaps or covering up permanent stains.
  5. Cost-Effective
    Compared to porcelain alternatives, composite bonding is a cost-conscious option. It’s a great way to enhance your smile without committing to a major treatment plan.

Bonding works well for most people with healthy teeth and gums. It’s especially useful for:

  • Anyone after a quick cosmetic fix with minimal intervention
  • People looking to even out edges, close gaps or restore worn teeth
  • Those not ready to commit to veneers
  • Adults wanting to enhance their smile post-orthodontics
  • Patients with minor cosmetic damage from grinding, biting or small accidents

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:

  • Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, fingernails, boiled sweets)
  • Brush gently twice a day with a soft toothbrush
  • Use fluoride toothpaste without abrasives
  • Visit regularly for hygiene and check-ups
  • Limit intake of strongly coloured foods and drinks
  • Wear a night guard if you clench or grind your teeth

Bonded areas can be touched up or re-polished when needed as part of your ongoing dental care.
