Yes. We offer 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo, subject to status. Composite bonding is £175 for simple cases and £350 for complex cases.
0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo, subject to status. Composite bonding is £175 per tooth for simple cases and £350 for complex ones. Smaller plans can often be paid across appointments, for example three teeth over two visits with payment per visit. Discuss what suits you at consultation.
On average yes — 15–20 years vs 5–7 for bonding. But 'on average' hides important nuance. Bonding can be partially refreshed indefinitely; veneers must be replaced. And lifespan depends heavily on bite force, hygiene, and dentist experience — not just the material choice.
If you grind, yes, and we'd specifically recommend the Davies-technique hard stabilisation splint (£495) rather than an over-the-counter night guard. The Davies splint actively stabilises the bite at the correct position; a basic night guard only protects tooth surfaces from contact. Without proper bite protection, grinders often chip or debond bonding within a few years. Protecting the bite is one of the biggest factors in how long bonding lasts for grinders, though results vary.
Often yes — different sports have different impact profiles requiring different design specifications. Collision sports need thicker construction than skill sports. We discuss at consultation.
Not in the way natural teeth can. Bonding doesn't respond to peroxide-based whitening agents — these only affect the natural enamel and dentine, not composite resin. The right approach for stained bonding is professional polish (for surface staining) or partial re-layering (for deeper staining). If you want a brighter overall smile, whiten your natural teeth before placing or refreshing bonding so the bonding can be matched to the brighter shade.
Repair almost always — full replacement is rare. Surface staining responds to polish; interface staining responds to partial re-layering of the affected margins; even significant cosmetic decline at year 7+ usually responds to per-tooth refresh of the worst-affected teeth rather than full smile redo. We assess at each maintenance appointment and recommend the smallest intervention that achieves the goal.
Modern Invisalign treats more complex cases than earlier generations. Severe rotations, impactions, and major skeletal corrections still favor fixed. We assess at consultation.
Yes in most cases. Because no significant enamel is removed for bonding placement, the resin can be removed and the underlying tooth returns close to its original state. There may be slight surface roughness microscopically but no visible permanent change. This makes bonding genuinely reversible in a way that veneers are not.
For lip-muscle-driven gummy smile, yes — lip flip without surgery. For skeletal or significant gum-tissue causes, surgical intervention is usually needed for substantive change. Honest scope at consultation.
No — Inman treats only the front six teeth. For whole-smile transformation Invisalign or fixed braces is needed.
Yes — Inman is a discrete treatment; Invisalign can follow if needed. We assess outcome and discuss next steps if Inman doesn't deliver the result.
Not meaningfully. The timeline is set by biological tooth movement rates, which can't be safely accelerated. What can extend the timeline is non-compliance; consistent wear keeps you on schedule but doesn't make it faster.
Yes, always. We give you the per-tooth breakdown in writing during your consultation and re-confirm at the start of the treatment appointment. No tooth gets started without an agreed price. If the case is more complex than first assessed, we stop and discuss before continuing — never increase the bill mid-treatment without your written agreement.
Yes — mixed plans (bonding on some teeth, veneers on others) are sometimes the right answer. Each tooth assessed individually. We map per-tooth plans in consultation.
For small gaps yes. For larger gaps, bonding alone would create unnaturally wide teeth — aligners reposition teeth first, then bonding refines.
Possibly — the existing bridge may need redesigning or supplementing with additional implants. We plan for this possibility at the initial treatment planning where multiple tooth loss is anticipated.
Yes, a range of colour options is available, including team colours. Sports guards are quoted in writing after assessment.
After the first 24 hours, yes — but how you drink it matters. Sipping coffee through the morning gives sustained stain exposure to the bonded surface; drinking it in one go and rinsing afterwards is gentler. Using a straw for iced coffee further reduces contact. Coffee won't damage the bonding; it just contributes to surface staining over months, which we address at the 12–18 month polish appointment.
For single-tooth or small cases yes — bonding looks excellent in skilled hands. For whole-smile dramatic transformation veneers consistently produce more uniform colour and shape across multiple teeth. They're different tools for different cosmetic problems.
Yes — fixed braces aren't just for teenagers. Some adults specifically prefer fixed because they don't want compliance pressure, or have cases that traditional braces treat better.
Yes, though rare with experienced surgeons. Graft failure means the graft material doesn't integrate properly and needs to be redone. Infection at graft sites is possible. Sinus complications with sinus lifts are uncommon but recognised. We discuss specific risks for your case at consultation.
For localised back-of-arm fat in patients within healthy weight range, yes — visible reduction over 4-6 sessions. For combined fat + significant skin laxity ('bingo wings' often involves both), combined plans with skin tightening produce better outcomes than fat reduction alone.
Possible for patients with reduced skin elasticity. Combined plans (Onda + Lynton) avoid this. We assess at consultation and recommend combined approach where indicated.
PAH risk profile specifically. We assessed Coolsculpting against Onda when setting up the service; the PAH risk made Onda the preferable choice for our practice. Not a claim Coolsculpting is unsafe — a clinical-judgment call.
