The dentist can explain what your treatment will feel like and whether numbing is needed. Tell the team about pain, sensitivity or nerves before your visit.
GDC guidance on explaining your treatmentYou can talk through bonding, other options and leaving things as they are. Ask what each option can and can’t do for your teeth. The choice comes after you understand the plan.
GDC consent guidanceYour total depends on the teeth and work needed. The practice confirms the cost after an examination and personal plan, before treatment starts. Read the current fee guide, then get your own written plan.

Bristol Dental School: composite build-ups for tooth wearBonding uses tooth-coloured material; the shape and shade need to suit your teeth. Discuss the result you want before agreeing to treatment.
Bristol Dental School: composite build-ups for tooth wearChoose “Get my open-day plan” to open a WhatsApp draft. Send it when you’re ready. The team can answer questions and arrange the next step; appointment details and any fee need confirmation.
BDS appointment-request processSome teeth can be repaired or built up with filling material. An examination is needed to decide whether bonding fits your teeth and bite.
NHS dental treatmentsDiscuss whitening before choosing a final shade. Whitening does not lighten existing filling material, so doing it later can leave a mismatch.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS: tooth whiteningThe planned shape and size should be discussed before treatment. Ask what change is realistic for your teeth, rather than choosing from a photo alone.
GDC consent standards, Principle 3Your open-day plan includes a personal smile preview. Ask the team which format is used. It shows a possible look; the final result can differ.
BDS process + campaign inclusionYour agreed assessment credit goes towards eligible bonding. Check the amount, eligible treatment and any expiry before paying for an assessment.
BDS fee guide; credit conditions are plan-specificAsk for the cost of future care as well as the starting price. Bonding can need maintenance, repair or replacement.
NHS University Hospitals of Leicester: Tooth wear, leaflet 335 v4The written cover needs to state its length, what it includes and any exclusions. Check those terms and any repair charges before going ahead. Cover does not mean bonding can never chip.
GDC guidance on clear guarantee termsBDS lists payment options through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status and terms. Ask for the available plan, total repayable, deposit and cancellation terms before applying.
BDS fees and financeTell the team what worries you when you message. They can discuss your visit and the support available. Ask about breaks and a stop signal before treatment.
BDS nervous-patient informationBonding adds material to a tooth, but some teeth need preparation. Ask what will be changed and what later removal would involve.
Bristol Dental School: composite build-ups for tooth wearTell the dentist about sensitivity before cosmetic treatment. Its cause needs checking so the right treatment can be discussed.
NHS toothacheAsk how the planned work may change your bite and what review is needed. Contact the dentist if you have pain or the bite feels wrong.
NHS University Hospitals of Leicester: Tooth wear, leaflet 335 v4No. The amount of healthy tooth left and the condition of your teeth and bite can limit whether build-ups are suitable.
Bristol Dental School: composite build-ups for tooth wearBraces move teeth; bonding adds filling material. Ask which option addresses the cause of the look you want to change.
NHS dental treatmentsA missing tooth needs a different assessment. Bridges, dentures or implants may be options; ordinary cosmetic bonding is not a replacement for that discussion.
NHS dental treatmentsTell the dentist, because grinding can damage teeth and fillings. They may recommend a fitted guard or another plan to protect your teeth.
NHS teeth grindingBonding is not a lifetime treatment. It can stain, chip or come away, and may need repair or replacement over time.
NHS University Hospitals of Leicester: Tooth wear, leaflet 335 v4Composite can stain over time. Ask what your own care plan recommends for drinks, smoking and professional polishing.
NHS University Hospitals of Leicester: Tooth wear, leaflet 335 v4Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth each day. Ask how to clean around your bonding.
NHS how to keep your teeth cleanKeep regular dental checks. Ask how often your own bonding needs a review or polish.
NHS take care of your teeth and gumsA message starts the conversation. A photo cannot replace the in-person examination needed to check your teeth, bite and treatment options.
