Composite Bonding in Leeds
For teeth with minor crowding or mild discolouration/chips, then composite bonding is an excellent option. Composite resin is an advanced tooth-coloured filling material and we use an aesthetic range for the front teeth. This means that minor alterations can be simply done and completed quickly and painlessly, and look great.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure we use at The Dentist to remedy minor defects, including edge bonding, composite veneers, and bonding after orthodontic treatment, to enhance the final outcome of your teeth.
- Preserves remaining tooth structure
- Long-term aesthetic and functional solution
- Natural-looking restoration
For composite bonding, edge bonding and composite veneers, at TheDentist we will place advanced composite resin over teeth, reshaping the resin before polishing it to match the rest of your teeth. This is more of an aesthetic procedure.
Using digital technologies, we can mock up your new smile and create your new smile with composite bonding, whether using edge bonding or composite veneers.
Composite bonding can also prevent further damage to a chipped or cracked tooth while improving the appearance of the tooth.
The benefit over porcelain veneers
- Completed in a single visit
- More cost-effective
- Easy to repair compared to porcelain veneers
(You must be aware that ongoing maintenance of composite veneers may include, but is not limited to, regular repolishing and resurfacing. Please ask your dentist for more information on this)

FAQs
There are many factors that can diminish your smile. You may have a chipped or broken tooth, or you may have stained teeth or too wide a gap between your teeth. These are considered minor flaws that may not require extensive dental work. Composite bonding is a relatively simple and painless procedure that can quickly and effectively correct misshapen, chipped or stained teeth and the composite resin can be tinted to match the rest of your tooth.
The process involved in composite bonding is simple and painless. First, your dentist will examine your teeth to make sure there are no underlying problems that may cause problems for you later. Depending on the state of the affected teeth, some preparation work may be needed. Once your teeth have been checked and readied, the dentist will carefully cover your teeth with a composite bonding resin. Once the resin sets, the restored tooth can be shaped and polished so that it looks and feels as perfect as the rest of your teeth. In most cases, your dentist can complete this procedure in about an hour, possibly less, depending on the size of the tooth and the damage it has sustained.
It’s not easy to predict how long composite bonding will last. Factors including the extent of the work completed and your oral hygiene habits will need to be taken into consideration. However, you can expect composite bonding to last for at least three years. With proper care and good oral hygiene, your composite bonding may last ten years or more. The Dentist’s practitioners are skilled at composite bonding and will advise you on the best way to care for your restored tooth. In particular, white wine, Prosecco and other white grape drinks can denature the surface of composite bonding, reducing the lifespan.
There are a number of benefits to having composite bonding done on your teeth. Firstly, it is a relatively painless procedure, which is a major consideration for many patients. It is also a quick, simple solution that looks completely natural and won’t damage the tooth’s natural structure. Composite bonding can usually be completed in a single visit to the dentist and, if you accidentally chip or crack the tooth that has been fixed, replacing the composite bonding is easy. This procedure is also a cost-effective way to treat minor dental problems.

Fortunately The Dentist spotted these, got me in for a hygiene deep clean (not what you'd call enjoyable, but made as comfortable as possible) and a review is in the diary too. In just two visits, I feel like I've had the best dental treatment in twenty years. And for no more money than two visits to my previous dentists.
Really excellent service, very pleasant surroundings and attentive staff who explain, smile and comfort. What more could you want?
I’ve had no issues with the treatment I’ve received, just goes to show what having a great dentist can do! The nurses are lovely aswell!
The reception staff are brilliant! Always really efficient and helpful with anything I’ve needed! 10/10!!
Staff members very friendly and professional.
The service I received from Lauren, the practice manager, was also amazing!

I found The Dentist after searching online for quite some time for a dentist I felt I could trust to fix the issues I was left with. That was very hard for me because I've had terrible experiences in the past (like that one) and felt like I wouldn't be able to find one I could trust. I loved the results on their website and decided to take a chance and booked a consultation with Dr. James Taylor.
At the consultation James was able to quickly give me options to fix what was done. It was such a relief considering my previous dentist gave me no options, so I didn't think anything could be done. During this year, James fixed all of the issues I had and now my teeth look even better than they did before which I never thought could be possible. I was absolutely thrilled with the results and I'm so happy I took the chance to come and see him with my issues.
Thank you again for everything!
Everyone is always very pleasant and helpful. Just wish it wasn't so expensive!!
A pleasure as always 👍🏼😊
