Life-changing results from our cosmetic dentists, often delivered in less than an hour.
At Y Bont Faen, we understand the profound impact your smile can have on your life.
If you’ve been feeling self-conscious about your teeth due to chips, cracks, discoloration, or gaps, composite bonding could be the perfect solution. Composite bonding is a highly effective and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can take your smile to the next level, both quickly and painlessly.
In cases where only part of the tooth needs to be covered, we’ll use a specially designed resin to reshape the area, leaving you with a brighter and more even tooth surface.
Our composite bonding specialists in Cowbridge have been delighting our local patients with fast, long-lasting results for many years. We understand that addressing your dental concerns can be daunting, but we’re here to talk you through the process so you are completely comfortable with your choice of treatment.
To find out if composite bonding is the most suitable option for you, please get in touch with Y Bont Faen today to arrange your initial consultation, which will be free of charge.

In a nutshell, composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied to the teeth, then shaped and hardened with UV light. Bonding can be used to fix any imperfections, such as chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, and worn-down edges, significantly improving the appearance of your teeth!
Unlike other cosmetic treatments, such as veneers or crowns, composite bonding preserves most of your natural tooth structure. This means we can achieve stunning results with little to no alteration of your existing teeth.
Composite bonding is a quick, non-invasive and relatively affordable procedure that can correct various dental issues to completely transform your smile. There’s no drilling, needles or anesthetic involved, so it’s an appealing option for anxious patients, too.
One of the other advantages of composite bonding is its versatility. Whether you want to correct minor imperfections or greater cosmetic concerns, this treatment can address a variety of issues, including closing gaps, repairing chips, and even reshaping teeth. The bonding procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, allowing for dramatic improvements in a single visit.
On average – and often depending on where it’s located – composite bonding can be expected to last 5 to 7 years before it needs to be repolished or replaced. If you look after your oral health, avoid hard foods that are likely to damage the resin, and take extra care when chewing, your bonding could stay in place for up to 10 years.
The old resin material is simply removed, and the new bonding is applied. Replacements and repairs can usually be completed in less than an hour.
The great thing about composite bonding is that most people are eligible for this cosmetic treatment, unless they have particularly poor oral hygiene or more severe dental issues. Speak to our cosmetic dentists in Cowbridge today to confirm your eligibility.
As long as the resin is applied skillfully and the shade matches that of your own enamel, composite bonding will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Nobody will be able to tell that you’ve had composite bonding done, but the difference in your smile and your self-confidence will be striking!
To keep your bonding looking its best, we recommend steering clear of hard, sticky foods and objects that might crack or weaken the resin. You will also need to avoid chewing your nails or crunching on ice. Because the materials used to create the bonding are porous, they are susceptible to staining over time – so keep your intake of tea, coffee, red wine, other dark-coloured foods and drinks, and tobacco to a minimum to maintain the correct shade for longer.
