Composite bonding

A non-invasive use of tooth-coloured filling material to lengthen or re-shape the front teeth.

Bonding uses a composite resin to close spaces, change the colour of the teeth, mask any discolorations, repair chips, change the size or shape of teeth, and give crooked or uneven teeth a straight-looking appearance.

Cosmetic bonding can be used on a single tooth or transform an entire smile. It is a simple technique that allows the white filling material to bond to the natural tooth, usually without the need to prepare/shape the tooth and is completed in one short visit. Another advantage of this technique is that an anaesthetic is not normally required, allowing you to smile with confidence, immediately. An artistic eye is required in order to produce natural seamless results and the dental team at Oakmead Dental Care have trained extensively in this procedure, transforming many smiles.

After cosmetic bonding, your new smile should last several years depending on your lifestyle. Smoking, drinking or using your teeth as tools, may reduce the life expectancy of the bonding and you may need to get your teeth polished once a year as the bonding material stains more readily than natural teeth.

I had my implant over six appointments. Paul and his team of Nurses were fantastic! They were very efficient and professional. They put me at ease, explaining all the procedures. The injections were spot on and I felt no pain throughout. I am 100% happy with the look of my new tooth. Thank you Paul and team.

The people - brilliant

27th June 2026

My dentist, Paul Cassidy, is so careful, gentle, friendly and a very good communicator. Although I am quite a new patient and have been nervous about changing my dentist after being with my previous dentist for over 25 years until his retirement, Paul has made me feel very comfortable and has increased my confidence during the time that I have been seeing him. I will always be a nervous patient but I am very pleased that I chose Oakmead.

27th June 2026

Experience of previous female dentists at Oakmead have not been satisfactory - poor skills bordering on brutality doing extractions - but this time a new dentist Ailish Redmond was an exception proving to have a very good bedside manner, explained everything, listened and was very competent - totally different to earlier female examples found here.I would willingly be seen by her again.

25th June 2026

As a long term patient I am know and trust this particular dentist. The receptionists and dental nurse were efficient and caring.

25th June 2026
