Question 1

Does the £311 per tooth fee include shaping and polish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The per-tooth fee covers the planning, the layered composite, sculpting and contouring, and the final polish. You leave the appointment with the finished tooth.

Question 2

What's the difference between edge bonding and full bonding?

Accepted Answer

Edge bonding refines worn or chipped edges. It's the lighter version, often two to six teeth in a single appointment. Full bonding rebuilds more of the tooth shape, ideal for closing gaps, lengthening short teeth, or reshaping a wider smile. Per-tooth fee is the same; the chair time and number of teeth involved is what moves the total.

Question 3

Should I whiten before bonding?

Accepted Answer

We almost always recommend whitening first. Composite can't be lightened once it's in place, so we whiten your natural teeth to your target shade and then build the composite to match. Whitening is £464 with custom trays.

Question 4

What about polish-refresh visits?

Accepted Answer

Composite picks up surface staining over time, like natural teeth do. A polish-refresh appointment is short and brings back the shine. We'll quote it at the time so you can decide on the frequency that suits you.

Question 5

Are finance options available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interest-free payment plans across the case are available. We'll set out the figures in writing before you commit.

Question 6

How is this different from cheaper bonding offers?

Accepted Answer

Cheaper offers usually rush the planning, skip rubber dam isolation, or use a single-shade composite. Here you get a proper case plan, layered composite for natural depth, rubber dam where it helps the bond, and the same dentist sculpting every tooth by hand. The per-tooth fee covers the whole appointment.
