A tooth-coloured composite material is applied to the front surface of the teeth. Once set, it is sculpted to improve the overall look and shape of the treated teeth.
Bonding is an effective solution for improving the look of chipped, stained or uneven teeth. It can also be used to close small gaps and create a more uniform smile—all usually in a single appointment.

How long does bonding last?
Composite bonding typically lasts several years with the right care. Like natural teeth, it can be damaged by hard foods or habits like biting nails. We advise avoiding things like ice or hard sweets to extend the life of your bonding.
The good news is that bonding can be repaired or replaced if needed.
What happens during cosmetic bonding treatment?
Your bonding journey at Wellingborough Dental & Implant Clinic
Cosmetic bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that usually doesn’t require anaesthetic and is often completed in just one visit.
To begin, your dentist will gently prepare the tooth surface. Then, a tooth-coloured composite is applied and hardened under a special light. Once set, the material is shaped to achieve a natural finish and even out any gaps or unevenness.
The final step is polishing, ensuring the bonded tooth blends beautifully with the rest of your smile. It’s a simple, effective treatment with great results.

What are white fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings for a discreet restoration
White fillings are a modern alternative to silver amalgam fillings, using a tooth-coloured resin that blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
This advanced composite material can be used to treat new cavities or replace existing metal fillings. The result is a healthier-looking smile without compromising on strength or durability.
If you’re unsure whether white fillings are right for you, we’ll guide you through your options during your consultation.

Frequently asked questions about bonding and fillings in Wellingborough
Are white fillings a good option instead of silver fillings?
Yes. White fillings are a great alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. They're made of tooth-coloured resin, making them far less visible in your smile. Many of our patients in Wellingborough prefer them for their natural appearance and reliable results.
How long do bonding and white fillings last?
With daily care and regular dental check-ups, bonding can last 5 to 7 years, and white fillings may last up to 10. At Wellingborough Dental & Implant Clinic, we’ll share advice to help you keep your new smile looking its best for years to come.
Will I need anaesthetic for cosmetic bonding?
Bonding is usually pain-free and often doesn't require anaesthetic. The treatment involves preparing the surface, applying the resin, and curing it with a special light—all while keeping you comfortable. We always take extra care to support nervous patients and make every visit feel calm and reassuring.
When will I see the results?
Straight away! Your bonding or white filling treatment is usually completed in one visit, so you’ll walk out with a renewed, natural-looking smile the same day.
