Explore composite bonding with the Haywards Heath team, with local appointments for patients across RH16 and Mid Sussex. Advice, suitability and fees are explained before you decide how to proceed.
Composite bonding from £250 per tooth · Final fees depend on your individual plan.
At 26 Haywards Road, composite bonding is planned around your oral health, priorities and the outcome you want to achieve. The team welcomes enquiries from Haywards Heath, Lindfield, Cuckfield and Burgess Hill.
Your first visit focuses on understanding the problem and the available choices: bonding planning checks the proposed shape against your bite, tooth position and ability to maintain the additions. The Haywards Heath clinician will confirm the recommended route, likely timescale and maintenance after the appropriate appointment.
TREATMENT PLANNING
Planning your care at Haywards Heath.
Composite is repairable in many cases, but it is not maintenance-free or permanent. It can stain, lose its polish, wear or chip, particularly on heavily loaded edges. Lifespan varies with the size of the addition, grinding, diet, bite and cleaning. Arrange a review if an edge feels rough or your bite changes. Do not use bonded teeth to open packaging or bite fingernails.
Bonding starts from £250 per tooth. A larger build-up, composite veneer or multi-tooth plan may cost more; the written estimate explains the scope and any planning or review fees. Ask whether staged payments apply to your plan. Alternatives include accepting the current appearance, professional whitening, orthodontics, porcelain veneers or a more protective restoration where substantial tooth tissue is missing. The least invasive suitable option should be considered first.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your journey, clearly explained.
01
Agree A Realistic Plan
Your dentist examines the teeth and gums, checks the bite and discusses the shape you want. Photographs or a trial shape may help. Decay and active gum disease should be addressed first. If whitening or straightening would help, we explain the order of treatment before choosing the composite shade.
02
Shape The Composite
The tooth is isolated, its surface prepared for bonding and resin added in controlled layers. Each layer is hardened with a dental light. Many small additions need little or no drilling, but preparation or anaesthetic may be needed when repairing decay or existing restorations.
03
Polish And Check
The dentist refines the contours, checks your bite and polishes the surface. You receive advice about cleaning and avoiding habits that overload the material. Further refinement may be appropriate at review once you have used the teeth in everyday eating and speaking.
