Tooth bonding and contouring to help improve your smile

Tooth bonding

Modern tooth coloured restorative materials can be bonded to teeth, often without the need for an anaesthetic, in order to improve the shape or colour of teeth. This is the quickest and least expensive method of improvement, but is not always a suitable alternative to veneers or crowns. Prices range from £85 to £135 per tooth.

Tooth contouring

This process removes parts of the enamel to improve the appearance of your tooth. It may be used to correct a small chip, or to alter the length, shape or position of teeth.

Tooth contouring can also be used to correct crooked or excessively long teeth. Removed enamel is irreplaceable. Removal may expose dentine. This procedure offers fast results and can even be a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.
