“It’s not about how many teeth we treat — it’s about crafting the smile that finally feels like you again.”
🧭 Why People Choose Composite Bonding
Everyone has their reason. Some want symmetry. Others want youth restored. Some just want to stop hiding behind a hand in photos.
The truth? A smile isn’t about vanity — it’s about recognition. It’s about looking in the mirror and seeing the version of yourself you remember, or maybe the one you’ve always imagined.
And that’s why our approach to composite bonding is never “copy and paste.” It’s precision design, tailored to your proportions, personality, and history.
📐 Ever Heard of the Golden Proportion? You Will.
There’s a natural rhythm to beauty — found in seashells, flowers, architecture, and, yes, smiles. It’s called the Golden Proportion, and it describes the way balance and harmony naturally please the human eye.
We use that same principle — not to chase perfection, but to restore natural balance. Your teeth, lips, and facial structure all influence that ratio.
Using your own dimensions, we take your smile to where it should be —or, in many cases, where it was 20 years ago.
That process begins with precision scanning, digital design, and your input every step of the way.
🧠 The Smile Design Process
3D Digital Scan – no impressions, just precision mapping of every contour.
Mock-Ups (often more than one) – we show you your potential new smile.
Your Feedback – you agree, adjust, or even disagree — time well spent (no pun intended).
3D Printed Blueprint – so the final treatment feels effortless and predictable.
This is where the artistry begins — your smile isn’t templated; it’s engineered and sculpted for you.
💎 Why Whitening Comes First
Before bonding, we brighten your natural enamel using professional whitening trays or in-surgery treatment. This isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a calibration stage.
Whitening allows us to:
Lighten your natural teeth to the desired shade first
Match new composite precisely to that lighter tone
Avoid mismatched colours and ensure the final result stays consistent
“You can’t build a perfect match if the canvas isn’t ready.” – Dr John Barclay
Our whitening treatments alone cost between £350–£550, depending on complexity. Every composite bonding package includes professional whitening (even for difficult cases) at no extra cost — ensuring seamless colour harmony.
💡 Our Composite Bonding Cost Packages
Each package includes professional whitening, digital smile design, and after-care. All bonding carries a 12-month guarantee against material failure or detachment (subject to normal wear conditions).
🎨 What You’re Really Paying For
You’re not buying resin; you’re investing in:
Hours of hand-sculpting under magnification
Custom shade layering and surface texture
Digital design time — measuring, calibrating, testing
Experience — years of post-graduate training and refinement
Follow-up & maintenance within the guarantee window
“Anyone can add composite. It takes training, time and teamwork to make it invisible.” – Dr John Barclay
🧩 Behind the Scenes — What You Don’t See
Before you ever sit in the chair, there’s planning time most people never see. Digital smile design takes hours — measuring, modelling, liaising with our lab technicians, and printing mock-ups to make sure the final result fits your bite, not just your selfie.
That’s our invisible effort: the design work, the conversations with our lab partners, and the knowledge and calibration that turn resin into realism.
When you invest in composite bonding here, you’re not paying for a “fill and polish.” You’re paying for design thinking, lab collaboration, and clinical expertise — ensuring your smile is done properly the first time.
📊 How We Compare
While many clinics charge between £200 – £400 per tooth for basic composite bonding, our packages are all-inclusive — covering premium materials, digital smile design, professional whitening, 3D-printed mock-ups, lab liaison, and a full 12-month guarantee.
Because you’re not paying for bonding. You’re investing in a smile that’s planned, executed, and protected.
🧾 Guarantee Scope (12 Months)
Every composite bonding case includes a 12-month guarantee for:
✅ Repairs or breakages (usually affecting one tooth)
