Composite bonding is tooth-coloured composite resin sculpted directly onto your existing teeth, with minimal or no drilling in many cases. Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth; a very thin layer of enamel is gently shaped so the veneer sits naturally. Whitening only works on natural teeth, so if it is part of your plan we usually carry it out first and shade-match any bonding or veneers afterwards.

Your £50 consultation
Every cosmetic plan starts with a consultation. It costs £50, as listed on our fees page, and is redeemable against your treatment if you go ahead.
At the consultation we take clinical photos, talk through what you would like to change and check that your teeth and gums are healthy. Where suitable, Dr Walmsley hand-sculpts a temporary composite preview directly onto your teeth, so you can see the proposed design before deciding. You leave with a fixed written quote and there is no obligation to proceed.


Spreading the cost
0% interest-free finance is available for up to 12 months, with longer interest-bearing plans up to 5 years. We can talk you through the options when we give you your quote.
