Composite bonding in Glenrothes
Refine shape while respecting healthy tooth tissue.
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured material to make selected changes to tooth shape. Suitability depends on oral health, bite and the result you want.
GDHTreatment guide
01
Care, made clearer
A conservative option for selected smile concerns
Bonding may help repair small chips, refine worn edges, alter proportions or reduce the appearance of selected spaces. Material is shaped directly on the tooth and then polished.
It is not the correct answer for every case. Alignment, whitening, restorative care or no treatment may be more appropriate. We assess the bite and explain staining, chipping, maintenance and replacement needs before you decide.
Clinical noteAll treatment is subject to assessment. Results, suitability and timescales vary from person to person.
02
What matters
Thoughtful care at every stage.
02
Shape and edge repair
Composite can be carefully layered to restore selected chips, worn edges or proportions.
03
Colour planning
Whitening, if desired and suitable, is usually considered before the final composite shade is selected.
04
Maintenance explained
Bonding can stain, wear or chip and may need polishing, repair or replacement over time.

Useful answers
Frequently asked questions.
01Is composite bonding permanent?
No. Composite can wear, stain or chip and may need maintenance, repair or replacement. Longevity varies with bite, habits, care and the size of the restoration.
02Does bonding damage teeth?
Many additive cases use little or no tooth preparation, but this cannot be promised for every tooth. Your dentist will explain exactly what is proposed before consent.
03Should I whiten before composite bonding?
If you want whiter teeth and are suitable, whitening is often considered first because composite does not whiten later. The final shade can then be matched to the lighter teeth.
04How much is composite bonding?
The fee depends on the number of teeth and complexity. Current private fees start from £575 per tooth; a written estimate is provided after assessment.
