See Your New Smile Before Anything Is Permanent

Bonding at K Dental Studios starts from £375 per tooth, up to £450 depending on the case. Most patients want four to six teeth done, which puts a full upper smile somewhere between £1,500 and £2,700. We would rather you knew that upfront, so there are no surprises later. Your exact price is confirmed in writing at your consultation.

Time and shades. The quick version is one shade of composite applied in a single pass. Ours is several shades layered by hand on every tooth, then shaped to suit your face. That is the whole difference — and it is why the quotes look so far apart.

Not if it is built properly. Bonding looks obvious when one flat shade is used across the whole tooth, because real teeth are not one shade — they are translucent at the edge and more solid near the gum. We layer several shades on every tooth so the result reads as your own teeth, just refined. A Trial Smile lets you check that for yourself first.

A preview of your new smile, fitted over your own teeth before anything permanent happens. You can see how it sits with your mouth, how it photographs, and whether it is what you actually wanted. Wax-up and mock-up options are available: up to £815 for four teeth and up to £970 for six.

No and usually no. Composite bonding is additive — it is built onto the tooth rather than cut into it, so in most cases healthy tooth structure is left completely intact and no anaesthetic is needed.

Most cases are completed in a single visit, typically two to three hours depending on how many teeth are being treated. Larger cases, or cases using a Trial Smile, are sometimes split across two appointments.

Composite bonding typically lasts several years with good care. It can stain or chip over time, particularly with heavy coffee, red wine or smoking, and it can be repaired or polished. We will talk you through upkeep before you commit to anything.

A full smile assessment, a proper discussion about shape and proportion, clinical photographs and impressions if you proceed, and a personalised plan with a real written price. It is a conversation, not a sales pitch — nothing is decided on the day.

The consultation itself is free. The £50 deposit simply holds your appointment and is fully refundable — it is there because these are limited, longer appointment slots. We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to move or cancel.
