Crown or bonding? Same smile, different tooth

Why bonding?

You’ve seen the “Turkey teeth” stories. So have we.

Healthy teeth filed to pegs for crowns they never needed. That is exactly what we refuse to do. Composite bonding is additive. Where a case needs shaping (to align an edge, or to let the bite close), it stays under a millimetre and within enamel. A crown removes most of the tooth. If you ever change your mind, bonding can be adjusted or removed. Crowns can’t.

Added to your teeth

Composite resin is sculpted onto the surface of your teeth. Many cases need no reduction at all; others need shaping under a millimetre, always within enamel.

Reversible by design

Unlike crowns, bonding can be repaired, refreshed or removed without permanent damage to your natural teeth.

Honest expectations

Bonding typically lasts 3–7 years with sensible care. We explain exactly how to look after it before you book.

The treatment

One treatment, endless small corrections

We do one thing, and we do it with obsessive care: composite bonding, performed exclusively by our dentist, who holds a PhD in restorative dentistry. Layers of tooth-coloured resin, sculpted by hand onto your natural teeth. Minimal shaping only where a case needs it, no anaesthetic in most cases, finished in a single visit.

Why BondIST

Specialised by choice. Careful by principle.

Composite bonding is all we do. BondIST is a dedicated practice led by a dentist with a PhD in restorative dentistry (the very field this treatment belongs to) who plans, performs and checks every single case personally. We treat a small number of patients each week, so every smile gets the time and attention it needs.

A PhD in restorative dentistry, every case

Composite bonding is restorative dentistry, and your treatment is performed exclusively by our dentist, who holds a doctorate (PhD) in exactly that field. The same person who assesses your photos treats you. No handovers, no surprises.

Design before treatment

You see and approve a mock-up of your new smile before we touch a single tooth.

Aftercare in writing

Clear aftercare guide, a retouch policy in writing, and a WhatsApp line that stays open after you fly home.

A Bonding Passport, yours to keep

Before you fly home you receive a written record of your treatment: which teeth, what was done to each, the composite brand and shade of every layer, and clinical photos. If a tooth ever chips (at home or anywhere in the world), any dentist can use it to match your bonding closely.

Our work, in public

Get to know us before you message us

We share our cases openly. Every photo and video with the patient’s separate written consent. That openness is the point: you should be able to watch how we work before trusting us with your smile.

Good questions, honest answers

Is composite bonding the same as “Turkey teeth”?

No. “Turkey teeth” horror stories are almost always about crowns: healthy teeth filed down to pegs. Composite bonding is additive: where a tooth needs shaping it stays under a millimetre and within enamel, against the 60–70% of the tooth a crown removes. The treatment is reversible. It is exactly the procedure we recommend to avoid the crown regret you have read about.

Do I have to pay anything in advance?

No. There is no deposit and nothing to pay before you travel. You pay at the clinic when you arrive, exactly the amount in your written quote, and every payment is invoiced. If your plans change before you fly, you owe us nothing.

Does bonding damage or ruin your natural teeth?

Sometimes a little. And it is worth being precise. Many cases need no reduction at all. Others need shaping of under a millimetre, always within enamel: to align an edge when one tooth sits ahead of its neighbour, or to let the bite close correctly. For comparison, a crown removes 60–70% of the tooth. That is why bonding counts as a conservative treatment, even when a little shaping is needed.

Does it hurt?

Most patients need no anaesthetic at all. The work stays on the enamel surface, which has no nerve supply, so there is usually nothing to numb. You lie back, and the longest part is simply keeping your mouth open.
