What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment in which a tooth-coloured composite filling material is applied to your teeth.

Their aim is to improve the overall appearance of your teeth allowing you to smile with confidence.

Are you looking to…

Fill the gaps in between your teeth?

Repair chipped teeth?

Improve the shape or size of your teeth?

Composite bonding may be your answer!

Composite bonding can transform your smile by:

Closing larger than average gaps between your teeth
Covering naturally darker, more yellow tinted teeth
Covering any cracks or small chips on the teeth
Alter the shape, size and length of teeth that do not complement your facial structure

Composite bonding and composite veneers are different names used to refer to the same treatment.

No. One of the major advantages to composite bonding is that there is no need to remove any tooth tissue therefore there is no damage to your underlying tooth.

Composite bonding can generally be completed in just one appointment. The length of your appointment can vary depending on your needs.

As no drilling is required, there is no need for any local anesthetic injections. Like any treatment, you may experience some mild sensitivity afterwards, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and will subside within a week or so.

What are my alternative options?

Dental veneers are an alternative option to composite bonding but have the same objective of transforming your smile.
Our CEREC technology can produce pieces to fill gaps.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having been referred by my dentist to Enhance for a possible implanted front tooth because of a tricky root canal problem, I was apprehensive about my visit.
I needn't have been. From my initial examination by Peter I was informed that root canal work could be carried out therefore possibly saving me from having an implant.
Still slightly worried about the outcome, I had the work carried out today. I knew it wouldn't  be straightforward but everything was carried out so professionally, talking me through everything. I walked out with canal treatment completed and still had my front tooth!!!!
I think the music helped!!😊😅
Thank you so much Peter and to your dental nurse and the reception girls. ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashley is my dentist and is always welcoming, cheerful and makes you feel comfortable and at ease! I had composite bonding done today, two of my teeth were done very poorly by another dentist many years ago and Ashley removed the old composite and re done them better than I could have ever wished for. Ashley has completely restored my smile, she is so thorough and an absolute perfectionist! She really took the time to ensure they were the best they could be. I’m over the moon. The outcome is even better than I hoped! I would never go anywhere else, Ashley is the best! Thank you so much :-) x

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a terribly nervous patient. My appointment was for 2 hours as I needed a  crown and filling. Ashley was so patient and reassuring, completely relaxed which in turn helped me relax. The result was excellent and I’ve suffered no pain of discomfort since the treatment. Certainly feeling more confident about any treatment if needed in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a bad experience with NHS dentist. Decided to use Enhance. Ashleigh has completely fixed my teeth! I'm more confident and would never go to any other dentist again. 100% would recommend 👌

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Enhance Dental Care and Ashley highly enough! My teeth were in a real mess, I needed an extraction, a replacement filling, composite bonding, and whitening. Having a deep-rooted fear of the dentist, I was incredibly nervous, but Ashley put me at ease straight away. She is so friendly and took the time to explain every procedure clearly. All the staff are great, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you’re nervous about dental work, this is the place to go!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I simply cannot recommend Enhance Dental Care enough. The service I received from beginning to end of my treatment was second to none. I had a root filling and crown fitted all in one appointment. The procedure went swimmingly and was almost enjoyable (said nobody ever) but I think the fact Oasis was playing in the background helped a lot. I am extremely happy with the outcome. I had no pain afterwards and could eat on it the very next day. I actually forget it’s even there, it feels just like a normal tooth. I have already recommended this practice to others and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr Farrage for curing my dental phobia. I think I’d trust you with my life!! Will definitely return.
