Composite bonding in Turkey costs between £100 and £150 per tooth at Mavidenta in Istanbul. In a UK private clinic, the same treatment usually costs between £150 and £500 per tooth.
Bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin to fix chips, small gaps, short edges and uneven teeth. Each tooth takes 30 to 60 minutes, and most patients finish in 1 visit.
In the UK, cosmetic bonding is private treatment, not NHS treatment. That is why many UK patients compare prices abroad before they book.
What is the composite bonding Turkey Istanbul?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic treatment where the dentist adds tooth-coloured resin to the front or edge of a tooth. It changes the shape, length or colour without a crown.
Here is what happens in the chair:
1. The dentist picks a resin shade that matches your teeth.
2. The tooth surface is lightly roughened and a bonding liquid is applied, so the resin can stick.
3. The resin is added in layers and shaped by hand.
4. Each layer is hardened with a blue curing light.
5. The dentist polishes the tooth and checks your bite.
Most patients do not need an injection. The tooth is not filed down the way it is for a crown or a porcelain veneer.
What are the types of composite bonding?
There are 4 main types of composite bonding. Which one you need depends on how much of the tooth the dentist covers.
| Type | What it fixes | How much of the tooth is covered |
|---|---|---|
| Edge bonding | Chipped, worn or short front edges | The biting edge only |
| Gap closure bonding | Small gaps between front teeth | The sides of 2 neighbouring teeth |
| Chip and crack repair | A broken corner or small crack | The damaged area only |
| Composite veneers | Colour, shape and small overlaps | The whole front surface |
Edge bonding is usually the cheapest, because it covers less of the tooth. Full composite veneers cost more per tooth. See our guide to composite veneers Turkey price.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of composite bonding?
Bonding is the cheapest way to change the look of front teeth. The trade-off is that it stains and chips more easily than porcelain.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Costs less than veneers or crowns | Lasts about 5 to 7 years, then needs polishing or redoing |
| Done in 1 visit, with no lab wait | Stains with coffee, tea, red wine and smoking |
| Little or no removal of natural tooth | Can chip if you bite nails or grind your teeth |
| Easy to repair if a piece breaks | The result depends heavily on the dentist’s hand skill |

How does composite tooth bonding work in Turkey?
