Invisalign FAQs

Is Invisalign suitable for crowded or overlapping teeth?
Yes, it's a brilliant option for crowding, overlapping, and spacing issues. I’ll assess your teeth and let you know exactly how Invisalign can help.

How long will Invisalign take to fix my overbite?
It depends on the severity, but in most cases, I see excellent results in 6–18 months. We’ll create a custom plan for you during your consultation.

Can I see a preview of my smile before I commit to Invisalign?
Absolutely – I can show you a digital 3D simulation of your future smile before we begin.

They’re almost invisible. Most people won’t even realise you’re wearing them.

I had braces as a teen but my teeth shifted – can Invisalign fix that?

Composite Bonding FAQs

What exactly is composite bonding – and how does it work?
It’s a simple, pain-free way to improve the shape, colour, or symmetry of your teeth using a tooth-coloured resin. I sculpt it by hand for natural results.

How long does composite bonding last?
With good care, you’ll get around 5–7 years or more out of your bonding. It’s low-maintenance and easy to top up.

Will bonding damage my natural teeth?
No – it’s completely non-invasive. I don’t drill or remove any enamel.

Can bonding fix small gaps or chips in my teeth?
Yes – it’s ideal for closing gaps, repairing chips and reshaping teeth.

Is composite bonding painful or uncomfortable?
Not at all. No injections, no drills – just a relaxed appointment and instant results.

Will the bonding match my natural tooth colour?
Yes – I colour match each case so your results blend perfectly with your smile.

Can I whiten my teeth after bonding?
It’s best to whiten before bonding. The resin won’t change colour with whitening gels.

What happens if the bonding chips or wears down?
It can be easily repaired or touched up. Just book in with me and I’ll take care of it.

Is bonding reversible if I change my mind?
Yes – there’s no permanent alteration to your teeth.

What’s the downtime – can I go straight back to work?
Definitely. There’s zero recovery time.

How many teeth can you bond in one session?
Depends on your goals, but I often complete multiple teeth in one visit.

Can I combine bonding with teeth whitening or Invisalign?
Yes – many of my patients use bonding as the finishing touch after straightening or whitening.

Will bonding make my teeth look bulky or unnatural?
No – I design every smile to look balanced and natural, never fake.

Can you fix just one or two teeth, or do I need a full smile makeover?
You can absolutely just treat the teeth that bother you. We tailor everything to your needs.
