Gaps between teeth and above the gums, uneven teeth, chips or discolouration are all reasons that people come to Evolve Dentistry for BioClear bonding.
This Bioclear Bonding composite resin applied by your dentist using adhesives and a visible blue light to bond the material to your tooth can dramatically enhance your smile in just one appointment.
Our Clinical Director, Carol is one of the few accredited dentists in the UK and has been successfully using the system with outstanding results since 2017.
BioClear comes under the term of minimally invasive dentistry. These are treatments that preserve all or most of the tooth structure, often requiring no injections to carry out the work. The treatment itself is faster than other options like veneers and also less expensive.
BioClear composites can last up to 10 years with regular dental and hygienist appointments, they only need to be repolished occasionally.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where a tooth-coloured material is applied to teeth to fix imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discolouration. It’s a quick and minimally invasive way to improve your smile.
The procedure is typically pain-free and often doesn’t require any anaesthetic. It’s non-invasive, so most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after the treatment.
Bonding a single tooth usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. If multiple teeth are involved, the treatment may take longer, but many cases can be completed in a single visit.
With proper care, composite bonding can last anywhere from 3 to 10 years. Its durability depends on factors such as oral hygiene, diet, and habits like teeth grinding or nail biting.
No — the material used in composite bonding does not respond to whitening treatments. If you’re planning to whiten your teeth, it’s best to do so before having the bonding done, so the bonding material can be matched to your new tooth shade.
You should maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoid nail biting, chewing pens, or opening packages with your teeth, as these can damage the bonding.
Many patients are suitable candidates, but those with severe tooth decay, gum disease, or who grind their teeth may need to address these issues first. A consultation with your dentist will determine whether bonding is right for you.
Prices typically range from £200 to £450 per tooth, depending on the complexity and number of teeth treated. Practices may offer payment plans or finance options to make treatment more affordable.
In most cases, composite bonding is considered a cosmetic procedure and isn’t available on the NHS. It is usually offered as a private treatment.
Composite bonding involves applying resin directly to the tooth’s surface and is less invasive. Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that require more preparation and are more durable but also more expensive.

Are electric toothbrushes better than manual?
It’s a question we’re asked a lot at the practice – and in this video, Carol gives a clear, honest answer.
Electric toothbrushes can make it easier to clean effectively, especially if you struggle with technique, brushing for long enough, or reaching certain areas. Many people find they remove plaque more consistently, simply because they do most of the work for you.
That said, a manual toothbrush can still do a great job when used properly. It’s less about the brush itself and more about how you use it.
Watch Carol’s quick explanation to find out what we usually recommend – and how to make sure you’re getting the most from your brushing routine.
If you’re unsure whether your brushing technique is working for you, mention it at your next appointment and we’ll be happy to guide you. 🪥

😴 Can snoring affect your oral health?
In our latest Two Thirty video, Maggie answers a question many people don’t think to ask — can snoring impact your teeth and gums?
The short answer is yes, it can.
Snoring is often linked to breathing through your mouth at night, which can cause a dry mouth. Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth, so when your mouth is dry, you may be more prone to tooth decay and bad breath.
If you snore and have noticed dryness, increased decay or concerns about your breath, it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
Our reception team at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead will be happy to arrange a consultation if you’d like advice.
⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
