Not every smile makeover needs to be dramatic. Sometimes, it’s the small changes that make the biggest difference. That’s exactly what composite bonding at Battersea Smiles is all about, a fast, affordable, and minimally invasive way to refresh your smile with subtle yet powerful results.

Here’s what you can expect during your bonding journey:
In many cases, patients leave their appointment with a noticeably improved smile in under an hour.

| Cost | More affordable | Higher investment |
| Durability | 4-7 years with care | 10-15 years with care |

| Aesthetic Quality | Excellent, but less translucent than porcelain | Highly natural and stain-resistant |
