Composite Bonding Liverpool
Composite bonding is the ultra-modern way to an affordable new smile.
If your teeth are getting you down, come and show us. We can fix chips, rebuild worn edges, close small gaps and change the shape of uneven teeth.
“fantastic”“ecstatic”“literally obsessed”With composite bonding at Smileworks you get unreal results in just one visit. We add composite to your teeth, shape it by hand and polish it. A small treatment can take about an hour.
Want them very white? We can discuss that. Want a repair that blends into your own teeth? We do that too.
Prices start at £200 per tooth. You can have one tooth done or several. Tell us which teeth bother you most and what you want to spend. We’ll explain what’s possible within your budget.
Bonding is our most popular cosmetic treatment. We’ve carried out thousands of procedures, and our patients absolutely love the results. We can usually show you before and after photographs of someone with teeth like yours.
Patients call the results “life changing”, “so natural” and “Worth every penny”.
Many cry when they see the results. Then they write about it in their reviews:
“I cannot stop smiling and looking at my teeth.”
Steph★★★★★“Can’t stop smiling”
Lisa★★★★★“I'm finally confident with my smile.”
Lucie★★★★★“In just two hours I had my perfect smile”
Roma★★★★★“Oh my, I’m literally obsessed with my teeth.”
Suzie★★★★★“My only regret, I didn’t do it sooner.”
Sian★★★★★“Ecstatic!”
Eleanor★★★★★“Worth every penny”
Fay★★★★★“I now have the smile I have always wanted.”
Jill★★★★★“naturally beautiful”

Patient reviews. Focus to pause.
If you’ve finished braces or Invisalign, bonding can finish the shape of your straight teeth. If you want them whiter too, we do the whitening first.
We also use composite for bigger smile makeovers. You don’t necessarily need porcelain veneers to make a substantial change.
We look after your bonding once it’s done. Our six-month warranty covers repairs to small defects. Keep up your hygiene appointments so we can check your bonding and extend the warranty. There’s also an annual composite review where we can help fix and polish it, with half-price whitening too.
Come and tell us what you’d like changed. We’ll show you what’s possible.

Composite bonding before and after
These are Smileworks patients. Some had one or two teeth repaired. Others had bonding across their smile.
Look for teeth like yours. If you can’t find a similar case here, ask us. We have plenty more to show you.
“I am ecstatic with how natural my results are.”
“I couldn't be happier with them.”Patient review: Daniel, 2023
Small changes are welcome
You can have just one tooth bonded. This is pretty common. Some folks have one tooth that is really bothering them.
You might like most of your teeth but want a chipped corner repaired. Perhaps one tooth is shorter than the others or there’s a gap you’d like closed.
We do this every day.
If several teeth bother you and your budget is limited tell us which ones matter most. We’ll explain what we can change and what it will cost.
You don’t have to get everything done at once. Where treatment can be spread out, we’ll help you plan it. If you’re looking for something more substantial then bonding can be all six front teeth or more. You can also have a Dental Hygiene Therapist like Paula Reed do them or a dentist like Dr JK if the work is big and complicated. Sometimes patients’ bites need adjusting or they have habits that might affect the work. We can deal with this and make sure your composites will last a long time.
“Big thank you to Khal who recently repaired a chip on my front tooth with composite bonding.”

Finance is subject to affordability, age and status. Minimum spend applies. Smileworks is a credit broker, not a lender.
What is tooth bonding?
Composite resin is a tooth-coloured material that we bond to your teeth. We shape it by hand, harden it with a special light and polish it.
We use it to:
- Repair chipped corners.
- Rebuild worn edges.
- Close small gaps.
- Lengthen short teeth.
- Change uneven tooth shapes.
- Finish the shape of teeth after braces.
Edge bonding changes the edges of your teeth. Composite veneers cover more of the front surface.
We also use composite for larger smile makeovers. How much we use depends on what you want changed.
Choose the shape and colour you want
Some people want a repair that blends in with their own teeth. Others want a much whiter smile.
We do both.
We use a lot of bleach-shade composite at Smileworks because many of our patients want very white teeth. If that’s what you like, tell us. If you want us to match your existing colour, tell us that.
We’ll also discuss the shape. You might want rounded corners, straighter edges or a little more length.
Show us photographs if it helps. Tell us what you like about your own teeth and what you want changed.
As Jessica put it, “I got exactly what I asked for.”
“Zarmina has made my teeth exactly how I wanted them.”
Composite bonding after braces or Invisalign
Braces straighten your teeth. They don’t change their colour or rebuild chipped and worn edges.
Once your teeth are straight, you may want them whiter and more evenly shaped.
We can do that in three stages.
1. Straighten your teeth
Braces move your teeth into position and improve how they bite together. This might involve fixed braces, Invisalign or another clear aligner.
2. Whiten them
If you want a lighter colour, we whiten your teeth before bonding. We then match the composite to the finished shade.
3. Finish the shape
We add composite where it’s needed. That could mean rebuilding a chipped corner, lengthening a small tooth or making the edges more even.
If you’re thinking about bonding, tell us before your orthodontic treatment finishes. We can plan the whitening, bonding and final retainers together.
Ed’s bonding, 7 years later
Ed is Smileworks’ co-founder. He’s also had braces, whitening and bonding.
His braces straightened his teeth. Whitening changed the colour. Bonding finished the shape.
Seven years later, he’s still happy with them. He’s been back twice to have the bonding spruced up.
He also needed a repair after a climbing accident. A falling metal carabiner hit him in the face and chipped the composite. When he got back to Smileworks, the repair took about an hour.
“I love my teeth and people always comment on them. I say I run a dental practice and they usually say, yeah that figures, you have nice teeth.”
That’s Ed’s experience. His bonding has needed some maintenance, but he hasn’t had to start again because a certain number of years passed. This idea that composites ‘only last five years’ is simply not true. I don’t know why it’s all over the internet.
How long does composite bonding last?
Composite bonding can last for years. It may need polishing, repairs or replacement of some material along the way.
There isn’t a fixed date when all your bonding needs replacing.
We check its condition at your appointments. If an edge chips, we can often repair that edge. If the surface becomes rough or stained, we can assess whether polishing will sort it out.
Your bite and habits affect how much maintenance you need. We’ll explain that when we examine your teeth.
Our bonding guarantee
Our bonding work is guaranteed.
There is a warranty for 6 months. Keep coming for your hygiene appointments so we can check your bonding and we’ll extend that warranty. Your hygiene appointments help keep your teeth and gums healthy. There’s also an annual composite review where we can help fix and polish your bonding, keeping it smooth and looking good.
If something chips or doesn’t feel right, call us. We’ll get it sorted for you.
Why choose Smileworks?
We’ve done thousands of composite treatments, from small repairs to full smile makeovers.
That experience helps us show you what’s possible. We can look for cases like yours and explain what we did.
We’ll discuss the shape and colour with you. We’ll check your bite. We’ll tell you what the work costs and how to look after it.
Our patients describe our clinicians as “incredibly skilled”, “a perfectionist” and “skilled and talented”. They also tell us they feel comfortable asking questions.
“JK explained everything to me step by step.”
“I was reassured throughout.”
We also look after the bonding once it’s done. If it needs polishing, repairing or adjusting, you can come back to us.
“excellent service”
“literally obsessed”
“a perfectionist”
“naturally beautiful”
“Worth every penny”What happens at your appointment?
First, we ask what you want changed. We examine your teeth and gums and check how your teeth bite together.
We then explain what we can do, how long it will take and what it will cost. If you need other treatment first, we’ll tell you.
At your bonding appointment, we prepare the tooth surface and add the composite. We shape it, harden it with a special light and polish it. We check your bite and show you the result.
A small treatment can take about an hour. Treating several teeth takes longer. We’ll tell you how much time to allow.
“In just two hours, I had my perfect smile.”
Why we often recommend composite
Composite lets us change the shape of your teeth by adding material. We make and finish the result directly in your mouth.
Porcelain veneers involve more stages. They are usually made in a laboratory and may need tooth preparation, temporary veneers and several appointments. That work is part of why they cost more.
For younger patients especially, we want to consider what their teeth will need over many years. We often start by looking at what straightening, whitening and composite can achieve.
Composite can be repaired and adjusted. It can also be used for substantial changes, including composite veneers and smile makeovers.
Your bite matters
If your teeth put too much pressure on the bonding when you bite, it can keep chipping or coming off.
We check for this before treatment. Sometimes braces are needed first to improve how the teeth meet.
Grinding, clenching and chewing habits can also make bonding harder to maintain. They don’t automatically mean you can’t have it. We need to assess what’s happening and explain how it could affect your result.
If you have decay or gum disease, we’ll deal with that before cosmetic treatment.
What our patients say
Patients tell us they smile in photographs more. They stop covering their mouths. They spend less time thinking about their teeth.
Some call it “life changing”. Others say they’re “literally obsessed” with their teeth.
Here are their words.
“I'm finally confident with my smile.”

Your questions
Will I need new retainers after bonding?
You may do. Bonding changes the shape of your teeth, so your existing retainers might not fit afterwards.
Bring them to your appointment. If you’re finishing braces or Invisalign, we can plan the bonding before your final retainers are made.
Should I whiten my teeth before bonding?
Yes, if you want your natural teeth whiter. We usually whiten first and then match the composite to that shade.
Whitening gel doesn’t whiten composite. If you whiten afterwards, your natural teeth and bonding could become different colours.
If you like your current colour, you don’t need whitening first.
What if I want the shape changed?
Tell us what you want changed. We can often adjust the shape by polishing the composite, reshaping it or adding more.
Point to the part that bothers you. You don’t need to know the dental term for it.
Can you repair bonding done somewhere else?
Often, yes. We’ll examine it and explain whether it needs polishing, repairing or replacing.
“Eduardo was very accommodating and fixed my composite bonding that was done by another dentist, amazing work!”
Is composite bonding reversible?
Yes. With additive bonding, we add composite to your teeth. If you later want it removed, we can remove the composite.
Does composite bonding hurt?
Simple additive bonding is usually comfortable and often doesn’t need an injection.
If you’re nervous, tell us. We’ll explain what we’re doing and give you time to ask questions.
“I actually fell asleep at one point.”
How do I look after my bonding?
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and keep your hygiene appointments and annual composite review.
Avoid using your teeth to open things or biting very hard objects. If you grind or clench, we’ll discuss whether you need a night guard.
If you notice a chip or rough edge, contact us so we can check it.
Tell us what you want changed
You can book a consultation or send us a smiling photograph for initial advice.
Tell us which teeth bother you and what you want to spend. We’ll explain your options. We’ll need to examine your teeth before confirming treatment.
