Composite Bonding is almost always cheaper than veneers. If you want to save money, dental bonding is almost always less expensive than veneers per tooth. You’ll usually pay between £200 and £400 for composite bonding (with some variation for skill and location), while veneers, which involve lab creation, begin at £400 and could go as high as £700 each. For anyone just repairing a small defect, bonding is the money-smart choice.
Why the Price Difference Between Composite Bonding and Veneers?
Bonding is a quick, in-office procedure. The dentist sculpts a resin directly onto your tooth, shapes it, and hardens it with a special light – all in a single visit.
Veneers are a custom project. You get beautifully crafted porcelain covers designed in a lab, requiring impressions, multiple visits, and more artistry. That’s why you pay extra.
When Should You Choose Composite Bonding Over Veneers?
Choose composite bonding if –
- You just need to fix a small chip, crack, or gap.
- You want a quick, low-cost solution.
- You’re not ready for permanent enamel removal (bonding is reversible).
- You’re planning to “try out” the change before committing to veneers.
Choose veneers if –
- You want a flawless, photo-ready smile makeover.
- You’re fixing multiple teeth, severe discolorations, or mismatched shapes.
- You want fewer future dental visits.
- You’re fine with investing up-front for durability and great results.
Final Word
Bonding is your budget hero for quick repairs but for ultimate beauty and lasting results, veneers deliver a stunning transformation.
