I have no medical conditions, take no regular medications, and I drink alcohol. I have also recently stopped vaping.
I am interested in composite bonding to improve my smile. I would like to understand what happens after I book, how the treatment process works, and how much the treatment may cost. I am flexible with my travel dates and appointment times.

For a smile design with composite bonding, treatment is generally focused on the teeth that are visible when you smile. The aim is to improve the shape, proportions, symmetry, and overall appearance of the teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Based on the initial assessment, 20 composite bonding restorations may be planned for the following teeth:
Upper teeth: 15–25
Lower teeth: 31–35 and 41–45
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment in which tooth-coloured composite material is carefully applied and shaped directly onto the teeth. In many cases, little or no enamel removal is required.
Your treatment process would generally include:
A clinical examination and assessment of your teeth and gums
Professional photographs and smile-design evaluation
Confirmation of the desired tooth shape, size, and shade
Composite bonding treatment on the planned teeth
Final shaping, bite adjustments, and polishing
Before treatment begins, your dentist will also check that your teeth and gums are healthy and that your bite is suitable for composite bonding.
The exact cost will depend on the final number of teeth being treated and whether any additional dental treatment is required. A personalised quotation can be confirmed after your clinical examination and final treatment planning.
As you have recently stopped vaping, continuing to avoid vaping is also beneficial for your long-term oral and gum health.
