Composite Bonding for Uneven Teeth
Uneven teeth can impact your confidence and affect your overall smile aesthetics. Composite bonding offers a fast, effective, and minimally invasive solution to reshape and align teeth without the need for braces or veneers.
At London Dental Centre, our experienced cosmetic dentists in London provide bespoke treatments designed to correct unevenness while maintaining a natural look. Whether teeth are slightly crooked, chipped, or irregularly sized, composite bonding can transform your smile in just one or two appointments.
Causes of Uneven Teeth
Before deciding on treatment, it is important to understand why teeth may be uneven:
Genetics – Some people naturally have irregularly shaped or spaced teeth.
Wear and Tear – Ageing and grinding can alter the shape of teeth.
Trauma or Injury – Chipped or broken teeth can create uneven edges.
Dental Work – Past restorations may not match surrounding teeth perfectly.
Identifying the cause helps your cosmetic dentist recommend the most effective solution.
Why Choose Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is ideal for patients seeking:
Quick Smile Transformation – Results can often be achieved in a single appointment.
Minimally Invasive Treatment – Only affected areas are treated, preserving healthy enamel.
Natural Results – Resin is colour-matched and sculpted for a seamless finish.
Cost-Effective Cosmetic Solution – Less expensive than veneers or crowns.
Repairable and Adjustable – Easily refreshed or reshaped if required.
Composite bonding is perfect for correcting small irregularities, minor crowding, or chipped edges without the commitment of orthodontics.
Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
During your first visit:
Your dentist assesses uneven teeth and overall smile aesthetics
Discusses goals and expectations for treatment
Recommends whether composite bonding or alternative treatments are suitable
Duration: 30–60 minutes
Step 2: Planning and Shade Selection
Your dentist selects a resin shade that perfectly matches your natural teeth. Precision in colour and shape ensures the final result looks harmonious and natural.
Duration: 15–20 minutes
Step 3: Composite Bonding Procedure
Teeth are cleaned and prepared
A gentle etching solution is applied to aid resin adhesion
Composite resin is applied, sculpted, and shaped to correct unevenness
A curing light hardens the resin
Polishing ensures a smooth, natural finish
Duration: 30–90 minutes per tooth
Immediate results are visible, with a balanced, even smile that looks natural.

Proper care prolongs the life of composite bonding:
Brush and floss daily to maintain oral hygiene
Avoid biting hard objects or using teeth as tools
Minimise staining foods and drinks
Attend regular dental check-ups
Refresh or touch up bonding as needed to maintain optimal results
