Number of teeth
The dominant variable. Each tooth is priced individually, so a single chipped incisor sits at the bottom of the range and a full set of eight at the top.

Composite bonding cost in London: what you pay per tooth and why
Composite bonding at Wimpole Street is priced per tooth, from £395, and that figure covers everything involved in treating that tooth: shade matching, surface preparation, the layered build-up, bite check and polish. Because bonding is done by hand at the chair with no laboratory stage, the cost is driven almost entirely by how many teeth are treated and how much work each one needs, which makes it one of the easier cosmetic fees to estimate before you arrive. This guide sets out our price list for Marylebone, explains what pushes a case towards the top or bottom of the range, lists what is and is not included, and puts the figures in the context of what bonding tends to cost across central London.
Typical range
£395 – £3,160
From a single edge repair to eight upper front teeth built to a laboratory design.

Variables
What changes the price
Size and position of the repair
A sliver on an edge takes half an hour. Rebuilding a corner that involves the biting edge and the side of the tooth, or closing a gap that needs both neighbours reshaped, takes longer and uses more material.
Laboratory wax-up
For four or more teeth we usually design the result on a model first and transfer it with a silicone key. This planning is built into the multi-tooth fees.
Whitening beforehand
Not part of the bonding fee. If you want lighter teeth, whitening at £399 comes first so the resin can be matched to the new shade.
Existing work to remove
Old, stained composite has to be stripped back before new resin is placed. This adds time and is reflected in the quote.
Bite protection
Patients who grind need a night guard, from £185, if the bonding is to last. It is quoted separately and is optional, but we will say clearly if we think it is needed.

What's included, and what isn't
Included in the fee
- Shade selection using layered dentine and enamel resins.
- Etching, bonding agent and the complete build-up on the day.
- Bite check and adjustment so nothing feels high afterwards.
- Multi-grade polish to a natural gloss.
- A review appointment two to four weeks later with re-polishing if needed.
- Written treatment plan with the fee fixed before you begin.
Charged separately
- The new patient examination, charged at £30 (usual fee £95).
- Radiographs if needed to check the teeth are healthy, from £20.
- Whitening before bonding, £399.
- A night guard for grinders, from £185.
- Repairs to bonding damaged by trauma or by biting hard objects after the review period.
- Replacement of the resin at the end of its natural life, typically five to seven years.
Paying
Spreading the cost
Bonding for one or two teeth is usually paid on the day. For six- or eight-tooth plans, many patients prefer to spread the fee, and we can arrange interest-free instalments over up to twelve months for treatment above a minimum value. As an illustration, a six-tooth plan at £2,370 over twelve months would be £197.50 a month with nothing added.
You can also stage treatment clinically: whiten first, bond the two teeth that bother you most, and add the rest later. Because resin is repairable and colour-matched at each visit, staging does not compromise the eventual result.
Finance is subject to status and terms apply. Medical and Dental Limited is a credit broker, not a lender. Representative examples are illustrations only and your own terms are confirmed in writing before you sign.
Context
How we compare
Across central London, composite bonding is commonly quoted somewhere between £250 and £600 per tooth, with practices in the W1 medical district tending towards the upper half of that spread. Very low headline prices often turn out to be for a single tiny edge repair, or exclude the examination, review and polish.
Our fee of £395 per tooth sits in the middle of the London range and is identical at all three Medical & Dental clinics. What we would encourage you to compare is not the per-tooth figure alone but what it covers: layered rather than single-shade resin, a planned design for multi-tooth cases, a follow-up polish and a dentist who will tell you if fewer teeth would do.
FAQ
Questions about cost
For the bonding itself, yes. New patients also need an examination, charged at £30, and radiographs if the tooth has not been checked recently. Everything is set out in writing before the bonding visit.
Lower fees sometimes reflect a single-shade resin, no planning model, no review visit or a very small repair. Others are genuine value. Ask what is included, how many shades are used and whether a polish visit is part of the fee.
Per tooth, considerably. Composite veneers start at £595 and porcelain at £1,095. Bonding addresses part of a tooth; veneers cover the whole front surface, which is why the fee and the amount of work differ.
Six upper front teeth from £2,370 and eight from £3,160. These are planned from a wax model and usually follow whitening, which is charged separately.
Eventually, yes. Resin lasts around five to seven years before it needs refreshing. Small chips in the meantime are repaired from £150 rather than the tooth being redone.
For larger plans, yes: interest-free over up to twelve months, subject to status. We act as a credit broker, not a lender, and terms apply.
Yes. South Kensington and St Paul’s charge the same per-tooth fee now, and your records and review can move to Wimpole Street from 1 October 2026.
