Composite dental bonding – What is it exactly?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where a tooth-coloured resin (the same material used in white fillings) is applied to the surface of the problem tooth. It can be coloured to blend in seamlessly with your existing smile and is used to fill in chips, cracks or pitted areas. Once applied, the resin is hardened (typically with a curing light) and polished to resemble the new tooth surface.
Essentially, dental bonding not only creates an instant and affordable smile transformation but also adds protection to the underlying tooth.
Here are some other advantages:
Treatment is quick – typically taking the same time as a standard filling.
It’s non-invasive – No drilling or needles necessary.
It creates an instant impact.

FAQs
What are the alternatives to composite dental bonding?
Other alternatives to dental bonding include teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, depending on your requirements. While teeth whitening is relatively speedy and speaks for itself, veneers take longer and are more expensive. That said, they last considerably longer, 10-15 years on average.
Is composite bonding right for me?
If your teeth are predominantly healthy aside from the odd blemish, chip or hairline crack, you’re a good candidate for dental bonding. Reading patients should know that we can colour-match the resin to your existing teeth for a seamless application.
How long does dental bonding last?
Unfortunately, composite bonding is not a permanent procedure and lasts, on average, 4-8 years. However, biting hard objects like fingernails, having a poor oral hygiene routine or developing a habit like teeth grinding (bruxism) can all impact longevity.
Can dental bonding material be whitened?
Unfortunately not. Composite resin does not respond to bleaching in the same way that natural tooth enamel does. For this reason, we would recommend that patients get their teeth whitened first.

“Really lovely and friendly team! The practice was also clean and the staff made sure I was well-informed throughout my treatment - highly recommended!”
Visited twice, both times for a hygiene appointment. Quick, painless and each time they fit me in with very short notice. Staff were kind and welcoming!
Today I visited Dental Spa for a teeth cleaning. First of all the clinic was extremely clean and well maintained. Shani gave me a warm welcome and offered a drink. Treatment wise Dr. Shaun did a great job, infact, I have never had someone take so much time and thoroughly to clean my teeth, and I feel much better after.Shani was quite helpful throughout the process, and she explained in detail the fees associated with future treatment plans, etc. Very lovely and courteous team, highly recommended.
I recently went to this new practice and it's fantastic!!Very modern and fresh with polite and friendly reception staff and both dentists are great!I've had a hygienist clean and Phillips Zoom teeth whitening (currently half price).I normally go to Inspire Dental and realised that both dentists (brothers), worked there previously.The Spa itself, is calming, contemporary and a completely different experience from other dentist practices. The TV on the ceiling is a fantastic touch, very relaxing overall.I highly recommend!!
From the minute I stepped foot into Reading Dental Spa I felt very looked after by both the Dental nurse to the Dentist himself, which made me very relaxed especially as I’m a nervous patient. They went above and beyond to make my treatment as comfortable as possible. 10/10
Highly recommend the Reading Dental Spa! Shervin and Shani are so friendly and helpful! I am starting my invisalign treatment here and I am so happy with the service I am receiving! Thank you!
Visited this new practice for the first time today and I have found my new dental surgery. Received a very warm and friendly welcome. Shervin made me feel very comfortable and explained everything very carefully to me. I have no hesitation in recommending Reading Dental Spa.
This dental practice has just opened, 2 brothers who already have a practice in Basingstoke. One of the cheapest compared to others in the area, was able to see me on the same day and had my root canal the next day. Fantastic service. Thank you
This is a modern and professional dental spa that really treasures their patients. Upon arrival, I was met by the receptionist that was warm and welcoming taking me through the initial sign in procedures. The dentist was kind and gentle which is good as I’ve had some bad experiences with rough dentists. They’ve got a tv in the room that’s on the ceiling so that’s something innovative I’ve never really come across before. All in all its probably the best dental spa I’ve been to and will definitely be coming back.
Today I visited Reading Dental Spa Stunning new Dental practice for facial aesthetics.On entering, the reception area has a very tranquil feel.After my consultation we went through to the surgery, which was pristine and full of exciting new fangled modern gadgets. I can imagine for nervous dental patients they would soon have there mind taken off the treatment with a TV on the ceiling and noise cancelling head phones!The dentist has a very calming manor and I felt like he listened to my requirements. The aesthetic treatment was painless and I can't wait to see the results.Overall this was a friendly five star service I would happily return and recommend, Thank you!
