Composite Bonding in Brighton & Hove
Composite bonding is a simple yet highly effective cosmetic treatment that can transform your smile in just one visit. Using a tooth-coloured resin, our skilled clinicians carefully shape and polish the material to correct chips, gaps, uneven edges, or discolouration—blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding is minimally invasive, meaning little to no removal of your natural tooth is required. It’s a quick, pain-free procedure with immediate results, often completed without the need for anaesthetic.
The benefits are clear: improved confidence, a natural-looking smile, and an affordable solution compared to other cosmetic options. Whether you want subtle refinements or a full smile makeover, composite bonding offers long-lasting results tailored to you.
Bonding Is a Craft, Not a Product
Composite bonding has no laboratory stage. The material is placed, shaped and polished by hand, in the chair, in a single appointment. The result depends almost entirely on the clinician holding the instrument, which is why it is worth knowing who that will be.

Adyl has been placing composite restorations since qualifying from Guy’s Hospital, London, in 1997. More than 25 years of restorative and cosmetic work has given him a detailed feel for how composite behaves: how it layers, how it catches light and how to blend a repair so the join disappears. He leads the practice’s cosmetic work and its facial aesthetics offering.

Beth trained in aesthetic and restorative dentistry at postgraduate level with Dr Christopher Orr. She is particularly attentive to shade selection and surface finish, the two things that most often give bonded work away, and she will spend time matching the composite to the character of your natural teeth rather than defaulting to the brightest available shade.

Looking After Bonded Teeth
Composite is a resin, and resin picks up stain in a way that enamel does not. Coffee, red wine, tea and tobacco will dull the finish over time, and the polished surface gradually loses its shine with normal wear.
None of that means the work needs replacing. A Refresh and Polish appointment restores the original surface and colour for a fraction of the cost of redoing the bonding, and most patients book one periodically to keep their smile looking as it did on day one.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks for the first 48 hours after placement
- Use a non-abrasive toothpaste, as whitening pastes can scratch composite
- Do not use your bonded teeth to bite nails, pens or packaging
- Mention bonding to your hygienist so the right polishing paste is used
