As the Team of the Year winners at the 2025 Private Dentistry Awards, our practice combines cutting-edge technology with artistic expertise to deliver same-day smile makeovers that look completely natural. Dr. Hannan Imran, our principal dentist has perfected the art of composite bonding, creating beautiful, confident smiles for patients across Hammersmith, Chiswick, Acton, and the wider West London area.

What makes composite bonding truly magical for West London patients?

Composite bonding represents one of the most immediate and satisfying treatments in cosmetic dentistry. Unlike veneers or crowns that require multiple appointments and laboratory work, composite bonding is performed entirely in our Shepherd's Bush practice using tooth-coloured resin that's carefully sculpted and shaped directly onto your teeth.

The "magic" lies not just in the speed of transformation, but in the artistry involved. Dr. Hannan approaches each case like a sculptor, using his trained eye and skilled hands to create natural-looking improvements that enhance your existing smile rather than replacing it entirely. This minimally-invasive approach preserves your natural tooth structure while delivering dramatic aesthetic improvements.

At Siha Dental, we use our iPad-based digital smile design technology to show you exactly how your new smile will look before we begin treatment. This preview takes the guesswork out of your transformation and ensures you're completely confident with your chosen improvements.

How can composite bonding transform common dental concerns?

Chipped and cracked teeth are perhaps the most common reason patients seek composite bonding in West London. Whether it's from grinding your teeth at night, biting into something hard, or a sports injury, chips can make you self-conscious about smiling. Composite bonding seamlessly rebuilds the missing tooth structure, often making it impossible to detect where the original tooth ends and the bonding begins.

Gaps between teeth, particularly front teeth, can be closed beautifully with composite bonding. Rather than requiring months of orthodontic treatment, strategic bonding can eliminate small to moderate gaps in a single appointment, creating a more uniform, attractive smile line.

Discoloured or stained teeth that haven't responded to whitening treatments can be dramatically improved with composite bonding. This is particularly effective for intrinsic stains (those within the tooth structure) that external whitening simply cannot address.

Worn-down or unusually shaped teeth can be rebuilt and reshaped to create better proportions and a more youthful appearance. As we age, our teeth naturally wear down, but composite bonding can restore them to their former glory - or even improve upon their original shape.

The versatility of composite bonding means that multiple concerns can often be addressed simultaneously, maximising the impact of your single-visit transformation.

What should you expect during your composite bonding appointment in Shepherd's Bush?

Your journey begins in our calming, spa-inspired environment at 157 Askew Road, designed specifically to help nervous patients feel at ease. Our team understands that even minimally-invasive treatments can cause anxiety, which is why we've created an atmosphere unlike any other dental practice in West London.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Hannan will discuss your concerns and smile goals, taking photographs and using our iTero scanning technology to capture precise images of your teeth. This information feeds into our digital smile design process, allowing you to visualise your results before treatment begins.

On the day of your bonding treatment, the process typically begins with gentle preparation of the tooth surface - this usually requires little to no anaesthetic, as minimal tooth structure is removed. Dr. Hannan then carefully applies the composite resin in layers, sculpting and shaping each section to achieve the desired result.

The artistic process involves matching the colour and translucency of your natural teeth, creating texture and contours that look completely natural, and ensuring your bite remains comfortable and functional. Each layer is cured with a special light before the next is applied, building up your new smile gradually.

Final polishing ensures your bonded teeth have the same lustre and feel as your natural teeth. The entire process typically takes between one to three hours, depending on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of the work required.

Is composite bonding the right choice for your smile goals?

Composite bonding works exceptionally well for patients seeking immediate improvement without the commitment of more extensive treatments. It's ideal for:

• Young professionals who need quick results for career or social reasons
• Patients who want to "try out" smile improvements before committing to permanent changes
• Those seeking affordable cosmetic improvements with natural-looking results
• Anyone nervous about dental procedures, as bonding is minimally-invasive and typically painless

However, for more extensive smile makeovers or severely damaged teeth, alternatives like veneers or crowns might be more appropriate. During your consultation, Dr. Hannan will honestly discuss all options and help you choose the treatment that best meets your needs, timeline, and budget.

How long will your composite bonding results last?

With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts 5-10 years before requiring touch-ups or replacement. The longevity depends on factors like your oral hygiene, dietary habits, and whether you grind your teeth.

To maximise the lifespan of your bonding:

• Maintain excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
• Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails
• Limit staining substances like red wine, coffee, and tobacco
• Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
• Attend regular hygiene appointments (we offer direct access hygiene appointments for your convenience)
• Have any chips or damage repaired promptly to prevent further problems

The beauty of composite bonding is that when maintenance is needed, it can often be performed during a single appointment, making it a practical long-term solution for busy West London lifestyles.

At Siha Dental, we believe in transparent, honest pricing with no hidden costs.

We offer flexible payment options and payment plans for treatments over £500, making your smile transformation accessible regardless of your budget. Our goal is to ensure cost never becomes a barrier to achieving the confident smile you deserve.
