Improving your smile with composite bonding

A smile speaks a thousand words as the old saying goes. Sometimes, it is the little changes that really make a difference. This may not be evident to everyone but if a small enhancement gives you more confidence then this make a huge difference to ones wellbeing.

One of the ways we can enahnce a smile is with a technique called composite bonding. Our case of the month for January 2025 is really a classic one where bonding was used to improve the smile symmetry in a subtle yet striking way.

Case of the Month January 2025

Our patient did not like the fact that her lateral incisors ( the teeth next to the central ones) were small in comparison. After a quick mock up showing her what they would look like, the plan was made to lengthen them using cosmetic composite bonding. The results are natural, life like and highly aesthetic. The procedure was completed in one appointment, there was no need for any drilling of the teeth and no needles! A lovely affordable treatment and biologically safe.

We charge £300 per tooth which is a more affordable option than porcelain veneers for example. For multipe bonding of teeth, we provide bespoke packages to make the treatment even more cost effective.

Composite can also be used to replace old fillings on front ( or back) teeth. The great advantage of bonding includes:1. Treatment is completed in one visit; an instant smile transformation! 2.

Social 6 lingual brace, whitening and bonding. The truly invisible brace

One of our favourite treatments for cosmetic teeth straightening is the Social 6 lingual brace. This brace is the truly invisible brace as it is placed on the inside of the teeth. Even though lingual braces have been around for many decades, there is little awareness of the system as the treatment in the past has been kept within the realm of specialist orthodontists and the costs have been incredibly high compared to conventional braces. Now for complex cases, lingual brace treatment is an extremely diffic… CONTINUE READING

Composite veneers vs Porcelain veneers. Which is best?

One of the most topical subjects at the moment is the debate between composite and porcelain for dental restorations.
