I recently finished my Invisalign treatment which took about three and a half months, followed by composite bonding (done all in one session). I signed up for the ABC package (Align, Bleach, and Bond) and I’m so glad I did. I wanted a result that looked extremely natural, and that’s exactly what I got. I’ve always been a bit self-conscious about a crooked tooth on my lower arch — it’s now completely straight and blends in beautifully. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
I would highly recommend Dr. Desai. Her team really took care of me and I felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire process. A special thank you to Maryam as well — she was so kind and reassuring throughout my appointments.

I had really bad experiences tying to find a good Dentist in London until now! I had a Hygiene clean done by Dr Kripa and it was amazing, I will definitely come back!
I recently got my teeth done at this place and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, everything was smooth and so well-organised.

I felt completely reassured throughout the whole process, like I was in really good hands. They kept checking in on me during each stage, making sure I was comfortable and happy with how everything was going. The communication was spot on — no confusion, no guessing, just really professional and clear.
The actual work they did was amazing. They paid so much attention to detail and honestly, they got everything right. From start to finish, it was seamless. I felt like they really cared about getting the best result for me, and it shows. My confidence has gone up so much since getting my teeth done here, and I can’t stop smiling!
If you’re thinking about getting dental work done, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s rare to find somewhere that combines professionalism, skill, and genuine care so well. Honestly, 10/10 from me — I’ll definitely be going back for future treatments.

I love my new smile! Getting composite veneers was the best decision I’ve made. The process was quick, pain-free, and the results are stunning. My teeth look brighter, more even, and totally natural — I still can’t stop smiling! I went for a slightly white shade (BL2), and it’s perfect — clean and fresh without looking fake. The dentist took time to shape each tooth to suit my face, and the final look is flawless. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a confident, refreshed smile without the need for drastic treatments!
Amazing team I couldn’t recommend it anymore. I am so happy with my smile!!

I went to this dentist last month to have 12 veneers. The customer service was absolutely wonderful. They asked me what music I would like to play to relax me in the background and I felt no pain at all.
Was able to take breaks in between and felt completely consulted on everything that happened . Lovely customer service and a follow-up would recommend to anyone - Chris

I recently had composite veneers done by Dr Kripa, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation Dr Kripa was incredibly thorough, explaining every step of the process and making sure I felt completely comfortable.
Would definitely recommend her!

I love the bright modern and not so clinical interior of SKON Dental it feels so calming the atmosphere is very welcoming and the dentist was incredibly kind and reassuring. A great experience.
Why is there such wide variation in the cost of composite bonding?
The necessity to redo cases has increased due to the growing demand for composite bonding, particularly when less expensive choices are selected without taking possible trade-offs into account.
You should keep in mind that if the price is much lower, there will have been some compromise made at some point. A common dental procedure that calls for meticulous preparation and accuracy, composite bonding might not be the ideal option for every patient.
When considering composite bonding, a number of factors must be carefully considered, including bite alignment, speech patterns, tooth color, size, shape, facial appearance, and overall oral appearance.
Conditions in which composite bonding is appropriate:
- Material quality
- Time spent: hurrying the process to complete it within a certain amount of time in order to save money
- Degree of education and proficiency of the dentist
Composite bonding requires careful attention to detail and a dedication to producing high-quality outcomes in order to be successful and long-lasting.
Composite bonding consideration 1
Preventing the composite bonding from being lodged behind the gums, which could result in bleeding and gum disease.
Composite bonding consideration 2
To guarantee that the tooth shapes and sizes are considered
Composite bonding consideration 3
ensuring that the final bite is precise in order to prevent the composite bonding from chipping. To make sure your bite is right, you might need Invisalign beforehand.
Composite bonding consideration 4
Additionally, it's critical to make sure the composite bonding doesn't become lodged between the teeth, which would make cleaning between them more challenging.
