How Much Does Composite Bonding Cost in the UK? (2026)
Last updated 29 September 2026
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to repair chips, close small gaps or even out the edges of your front teeth. It's done in one visit without drilling away healthy tooth, and it's priced per tooth.
Quick answer: composite bonding typically costs £250 per tooth, and most practices charge £200 to £300. That's based on 109 practices that publish a price. The lowest published price we list is £75 and the highest £550. Bonding six front teeth at the typical price would cost about £1,500.
How much does composite bonding cost for a full smile?
Bonding is priced per tooth, so the total depends on how many teeth you have done. Using the typical price of £250:
| Number of teeth | At £200 per tooth | At £250 per tooth | At £300 per tooth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | £200 | £250 | £300 |
| 2 | £400 | £500 | £600 |
| 4 | £800 | £1,000 | £1,200 |
| 6 | £1,200 | £1,500 | £1,800 |
| 8 | £1,600 | £2,000 | £2,400 |
These are worked out from single-tooth prices, not quotes. Some practices offer a lower price per tooth when you have several done.

What actually drives the price difference
- Edge bonding or a full composite veneer. Edge bonding repairs part of a tooth. Covering the whole front surface is a composite veneer, which typically costs £350 per tooth.
- The dentist's experience. Bonding is hand-sculpted, so cosmetic dentists with a strong portfolio often charge more.
- Number of teeth. More teeth means a higher total, though some practices discount for several.
- Whitening first. Resin doesn't whiten, so many dentists suggest whitening before bonding, which adds to the cost.
Composite bonding or veneers?
Bonding is the cheaper option for small changes. A composite veneer covers the whole front of the tooth and typically costs £350, and a porcelain veneer £782. Our veneers cost guide compares them.
How long does composite bonding last?
Bonding usually lasts several years before it needs polishing, repairing or replacing, depending on how you look after it. Tea, coffee, red wine and smoking can stain the resin over time. Ask your dentist about the cost of top-ups and repairs when you book.
