Want to achieve a beautiful smile without undergoing a long, invasive procedure? Dental bonding is the perfect solution. This popular cosmetic treatment disguises the appearance of chips, cracking, discolouration and small gaps with ease. Learn about dental bonding pros and cons to decide if it’s a good choice for you.
What is Nanofill Composite Bonding®?
Nanofill Composite Bonding® is Yorkshire Dental Suite’s elevated take on dental bonding. The trademarked process uses a unique resin to fix small irregularities in a patient’s smile without affecting the structure of their natural teeth.
The procedure is a blend of dentistry and artistry. Your dentist paints a resin over the desired tooth and meticulously crafts it to the desired shape and length. Finally, the resin is cured with a UV light, leaving you with a straight, ultra-white smile.
Now, let’s discuss the advantages and disadvantages of dental bonding.
Dental bonding: The pros
Our exclusive treatment offers many benefits:
- Quick results: Composite Bonding is done in just one appointment. This means you are able to leave our private dental clinic with a brand-new smile, usually in four hours or less.
- Minimally invasive: As mentioned earlier, this procedure doesn’t require any permanent or irreversible modifications to your natural teeth – there’s no drilling or injections required!
- Pain free: Sedation isn’t needed for dental bonding, allowing even our most nervous patients to reap the benefits of this treatment without ever feeling uncomfortable.
- Confidence boost: A smile significantly impacts your confidence. After dental bonding, you can stop hiding your teeth when talking or taking photos, and finally smile with pride.
- Results unavailable anywhere else: Yorkshire Dental Suite is the only clinic that offers Nanofill Composite Bonding®. Your smile will therefore be unique.
- Low cost: In comparison to other cosmetic procedures, dental bonding is relatively cheap, costing £495 per tooth. This is because composite resin tends to be a more inexpensive ingredient.
- Reversible: Our bonding can be taken out if a patient is unhappy with the outcome or if the substance reaches the end of its lifespan. It is also easily restored if you wish to have it again.
- Versatile: Nanofill Composite Bonding® is used to disguise numerous dental issues such as misshapen teeth, mild crowding and staining (just to name a few!). Any problems that cannot be treated with dental bonding will be identified by your dentist.
Dental bonding: The cons
There are some disadvantages that should be taken into consideration:
- Temporary fix: Dental bonding doesn’t solve the issue – it simply hides it. If you are looking for a more permanent resolution, this may not be the best option for you.
- Longevity: Our treatment lasts between 3 - 8 years. Compared to materials such as porcelain, composite resin does not have the same longevity, and has more of a tendency to chip.
- Discolouration: Thanks to staining food and drinks, Nanofill Composite Bonding® naturally discolours over time. It also cannot be whitened – if this is a concern, please let your dentist know.

With Nanofill Composite Bonding®, your dream smile doesn’t have to take years to achieve – it can take just a few hours. If you are looking for a non-permanent treatment that is quick, easy and affordable, opt for dental bonding with Yorkshire Dental Suite. Book your consultation today.
