Composite Bonding in Portsmouth
Composite bonding Portsmouth
Composite bonding for teeth: small changes, big smiles
Composite bonding uses tooth coloured resin to repair chips, close small gaps and reshape teeth. At Envisage Dental Drayton in Portsmouth it is usually completed in one visit, often without any need to drill or numb the tooth.
It can be used on a single tooth or to refresh your whole smile, and the resin is carefully shade matched so it blends in with your natural teeth.
What can composite bonding fix?
Teeth bonding is a flexible treatment. These are the concerns our Portsmouth patients most often ask us about.
Chipped teeth
Rebuild worn or chipped edges so the tooth looks whole again.
Small gaps
Close spaces between front teeth without braces.
Uneven shapes
Lengthen, even out or reshape teeth for a more balanced smile.
Discolouration
Mask marks or stains that whitening alone cannot shift.
How composite bonding works
1Consultation
We check your teeth and gums, talk about what you would like to change and confirm whether bonding is right for you.
2Shade match and sculpt
The resin is matched to your teeth, applied in layers and shaped by hand. It usually needs little or no preparation of the natural tooth.
3Set and polish
Each layer is hardened with a light, then polished to a natural shine. You can smile with confidence straight away.
Thinking about a brighter shade? Composite does not whiten, so we normally recommend teeth whitening first, then match your bonding to your new colour.
Composite Bonding and Whitening Open Event
1st to 30th October 2026
Free consultation, free digital smile scan and 50% off whitening when booking composite bonding.
Bonding or veneers?
Bonding is added directly to the tooth and is usually reversible. Veneers are made in a laboratory and can suit larger changes. We will help you compare.
What does composite bonding cost?
The cost depends on how many teeth are treated and how much shaping is needed. You will receive a written plan after your consultation, and finance options are available.
Composite bonding FAQs
Does composite bonding hurt?
Bonding is usually comfortable. Because little or no tooth is removed, an anaesthetic is not normally required.
How long does composite bonding last?
With good care, bonding should last several years. How long depends on your bite, habits such as nail biting or teeth grinding, and how well you look after your teeth. It can be repaired or refreshed if it chips or stains.
How do I look after bonded teeth?
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and keep up with regular hygiene appointments. Tea, coffee, red wine and smoking can stain composite over time.
Is composite bonding suitable for me?
Most people with healthy teeth and gums are suitable. If your teeth are crowded or your bite needs correcting, we may suggest Invisalign first, then bonding to finish.
