Considering cosmetic contouring with bonding? At London Dental Specialists, we understand you have questions about this popular, cost-effective treatment. Cosmetic contouring reshapes teeth by removing small amounts of enamel, while bonding adds composite resin to improve appearance. Together, these techniques can transform your smile by adjusting tooth shape, length, and colour. While not permanent—typically lasting 3-10 years before requiring touch-ups—bonding offers a reversible, minimally invasive alternative to more extensive treatments. Many patients appreciate the immediate results and affordability compared to veneers or crowns. Below, we've answered common questions to help you determine if this versatile treatment might be right for your smile goals.
Cosmetic contouring with bonding is a minimally invasive dental procedure that combines two techniques to enhance your smile. Bonding adds composite resin material to teeth to improve their appearance, while contouring (also called reshaping) involves carefully removing small amounts of enamel to refine tooth shape. At London Dental Specialists, we use these complementary techniques to address issues such as chipped teeth, minor gaps, uneven lengths, and discolouration for a natural-looking smile transformation.
With proper care and regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists, cosmetic bonding can last between 5-10 years. The longevity depends on several factors including your oral hygiene routine, dietary habits, and whether you have habits like teeth grinding. We recommend six-monthly check-ups to monitor the condition of your bonding and provide touch-ups when necessary to maintain your smile's appearance.
Cosmetic contouring with bonding is typically painless and rarely requires anaesthesia. During contouring, only a small amount of enamel is removed, which contains no nerve endings. The bonding process involves applying composite resin to the tooth surface, which causes no discomfort. At London Dental Specialists, we prioritise your comfort throughout the procedure, which is usually completed in just one appointment.
Cosmetic contouring with bonding offers numerous advantages, including:
At London Dental Specialists, we use cosmetic contouring with bonding to address a variety of dental concerns including:
While cosmetic contouring with bonding is versatile, it does have some limitations. The procedure is best suited for minor cosmetic issues rather than extensive changes. Composite bonding materials can stain over time and may not be as durable as porcelain restorations. Additionally, contouring removes a small amount of enamel, which cannot be replaced. At London Dental Specialists, we thoroughly assess your dental condition to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific needs.
To maintain your cosmetic contouring with bonding results, follow these care instructions:
The cost of cosmetic contouring with bonding at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the number of teeth treated and the complexity of your case. Generally, this procedure is more affordable than other cosmetic options like veneers or crowns. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation. We also offer payment plans to help make this treatment accessible for our patients.
Cosmetic bonding is completely reversible as the composite resin can be removed without damaging the underlying tooth structure. However, cosmetic contouring involves removing a small amount of enamel, which cannot be regrown naturally. At London Dental Specialists, we take a conservative approach to contouring, removing only the minimal amount necessary to achieve the desired results while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
