Question 1

Does it hurt, and do you drill my teeth?

Accepted Answer

No injections and no drilling in a standard bonding case. The dentist lightly etches the enamel surface so the composite grips, shapes it by hand, then sets it with a light. Most people describe it as boring rather than painful.

Question 2

What does composite bonding cost in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

It is priced per tooth. We checked the published price lists of 75 Irish clinics across 20 counties: the median is €250 per tooth and most sit between €150 and €350. Most people treat the six or eight teeth that show when they smile, so roughly €1,500 to €2,100 for six at the median. Quotes below about €180 usually mean edge bonding rather than full-surface work, so check which you are being quoted for. Your quote is confirmed in writing at the consultation, before anything begins, and monthly payment plans are available at most clinics.

Question 3

How long will it last before my wedding photos?

Accepted Answer

Bonding typically lasts 4–7 years with reasonable care, and looks its best in the first two. If you have a date coming up, most dentists suggest treating 6–8 weeks beforehand: long enough to settle, close enough to be pristine on the day.

Question 4

Is bonding reversible?

Accepted Answer

Largely, yes — that is the big difference from veneers. Because little or no natural tooth is removed, bonding can usually be polished off and your teeth returned close to how they were. Your dentist confirms this for your specific case.

Question 5

Are these dentists actually registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every clinic we introduce you to is on the Dental Council of Ireland register and holds current indemnity cover, and we check both before they ever receive a lead. You will be given the dentist’s name and registration number before you attend.

Question 6

How accurate is the AI preview, honestly?

Accepted Answer

It is a good indication of shape, proportion and shade — not a promise. It cannot see your bite, gum health or enamel thickness. Treat it as something you can hold up at a consultation and say "this is what I am after".

Question 7

What happens to my photo?

Accepted Answer

It is stored encrypted on EU servers, used only to generate your preview and for the reviewing dentist to see, and never published or sold. Reply DELETE to any message and it is removed within 72 hours along with your preview.

Question 8

Will I be chased with sales calls?

Accepted Answer

No. You get one message with your preview. If you ask for an introduction, one clinic contacts you — the one you picked. We do not cold-call and we do not sell your number on to a list.

Question 9

How do you make money if this is free?

Accepted Answer

The clinic pays us an introduction fee when you choose to see them. You pay us nothing, ever, and the fee does not change your treatment price. It also means we have no reason to push you toward a clinic that is wrong for you.
