At Holland Park Dental Centre, our team of highly experienced dentists can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted with our 5-star rated composite bonding treatments.
Composite bonding (also known as tooth bonding or dental bonding) offers a solution for minor damage, filling chips, fractures or gaps between teeth, or for fixing discolouration.
The dentist applies a tooth-coloured resin material (a durable plastic material) and cures it with visible, blue light. This ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth and improves the overall appearance of teeth.
Tooth bonding techniques have various clinical applications including operative dentistry and preventive dentistry as well as cosmetic and paediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, and orthodontics.
Composite bonding can also be a solution for staining in teeth and fillings. It can be used alongside teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile.
Fast and effective
Composite bonding can usually be carried out in just one visit to the dentist, making it a very fast and effective way to fix minor cosmetic issues.
The composite is hardened using curing light as soon as it’s applied, resulting in a tooth that can comfortably bite down by the end of the appointment.
Non-invasive
Bonding is also a non-invasive procedure. With alternatives such as crowns and veneers, part of the tooth is permanently removed.
For composite bonding to be applied, the surface of the tooth only has to be roughened to help the resin to bond, meaning the structure of the tooth remains intact.
The cost of composite bonding in London and throughout the UK can vary depending on the scale of the work you’re having done. Prices can range from £200 to £400 per tooth, your dentist can confirm the cost once a clinical assessment has been carried out.
If you are planning to have composite bonding, the dentist will typically recommend that you have any teeth whitening treatments first. The composite resin will be selected to match your teeth’ colour, so it is advisable to get them to your preferred shade before treatment for bonding begins. Once the composite bond has been placed, it is not possible to whiten it further.
Excellent experience and treatment! Thank you for taking the time and all the necessary precautions - it made me feel really safe.

Dr. Lam is my children’s dentist. She is our absolute favourite. My daughter, who’s only 8, has had extensive work done already and Dr. Lam has cared for her in that process with the outmost patience and skill.

From the minute I called to make an appointment the experience was superb. The girl at the reception was very polite and helpful and arranged an appointment for me on the same day. Dr. Myrum Meltzer was great with treating my broken tooth emergency and given me good advice for my teeth. It wasn’t expensive at all taking in too consideration the lovely location the practice is and all the equipment.

I had an excellent experience at Holland Park Dental Centre this morning with Dr Radia. She was super friendly and very professional. I’m admittedly a bit of a dentist-phobe and the friendly chatty team made me feel really at ease through out and I’m confident going forward with some further treatment.

My visit to Holland Park Dental entre yesterday was excellent. Everyone was relaxed but going through what they needed to do in a very calm, efficient and friendly manner. Very efficient team and I think a credit to you. Very pleasing experience (as these things go). Well done all!
