When a patient is enquiring about dental bonding, NHS availability is often one of the first questions we get asked. This popular treatment is only available at private dental clinics, and cannot be carried out by an NHS dentist.
What is composite bonding?
Quick, painless and relatively low cost, composite bonding is a cosmetic procedure that perfects the appearance of teeth. Using a tooth-coloured resin, your smile expert is able to disguise common dental issues such as the following:
The process is simple, and takes just one quick appointment to complete. A resin is first applied to the tooth, before being shaped and moulded to the desired look. The resin is then cured with a UV light, completing the smile makeover.
Composite bonding & NHS clinics – is it available?
Composite bonding is not available on the NHS. Why? The NHS only provides essential dental treatments that meet a clinical need. This includes procedures like fillings and tooth extractions.
Dental bonding on the other hand is a cosmetic treatment. As it is for aesthetic purposes, rather than medical, an NHS practice will not offer the procedure to patients. You will therefore need to seek the assistance of a private clinic.
Composite bonding price UK: NHS vs private
We cannot provide you a price on behalf of the NHS as it is not available. However, we can give you an idea as to how much your makeover would cost at a private dental clinic such as Yorkshire Dental Suite.
- Single tooth: £395
- 10 teeth: £3,750 (package includes prescription whitening, retainers and remedial work worth up to £2,185)
- ·20 teeth: £7,000 (package includes prescription whitening, retainers and remedial work worth up to £2,185)
We offer a range of finance options to help spread the cost of your procedure over time. Other private practices in the UK charge between £150 and £500, with prices tending to spike in the London area.
