At Ringway Dental, our experts can transform your smile in one sitting with composite bonding.
Composite bonding is ideal for those looking to upgrade their smiles. It’s a great cosmetic dental option for those who may have:
Composite bonding is a minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment that improves the overall shape of your smile. If you have teeth with uneven or chipped edges or teeth that need lengthening, composite bonding could be a great option for you.
It is often used in conjunction with other treatments and is a particularly popular choice after orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign® and teeth whitening. You may also want to read more about composite veneers, which we also offer at our welcoming practice in Manchester.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that can uplift the way your smile looks. It works in a very similar way to composite veneers, using the same specially formulated resin material, and can improve your smile by achieving aesthetically similar results.
When you come to us for composite bonding we start by applying a specialist dental resin to your teeth or tooth. We will select a shade closest to your natural teeth, so the repair work doesn’t stand out. Your tooth will be covered with an adhesive type of liquid that aids with the bonding process, before the resin is applied to the teeth.
We will apply and mould the composite material to your teeth, refining the shape and structure of the resin to sit comfortably alongside your natural teeth.
The final step involves making any adjustments to the final shape of the composite bonding, before being polished carefully to blend in with your natural smile.

Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment, with an increasing number of patients opting to have the procedure to improve their teeth. Composite bonding is minimally invasive, relatively affordable, and offers a range of benefits.
Composite bonding doesn’t require any reduction of your existing teeth before being applied. Other treatments such as porcelain veneers, and sometimes composite veneers, can be more invasive options, which at times may involve alteration to your natural teeth.
It’s important to us that your teeth feel comfortable and that you have a good bite before you leave after the treatment.
Composite bonding can improve your smile. The treatment can help uplift your appearance if you are conscious about the way your teeth look. It’s often used to restore cracked, uneven, and discoloured smiles – with effective results.
Composite bonding is one of the more affordable cosmetic dental procedures. The cost of composite bonding begins at just £350.00 per tooth. And should more of the tooth need work, it may be that composite veneers are a more appropriate treatment option – from £450.00 per tooth.
The composite bonding procedure is quick. The treatment is usually completed with just one trip to our clinic, and is often finished within a couple of hours. Other cosmetic dental treatments can require multiple appointments, check-ups, and more intense aftercare plans.
Composite bonding is easy to care for. You may want to avoid drinks and foods that can stain the teeth, such as coffee, red wine, and berries. These foods can cause discolouration of the resin material. You should keep on top of your oral hygiene routine as normal, brushing; flossing; and using mouthwash.
It’s also good to avoid habits like biting your nails or chewing hard objects. The composite bonding material is slightly weaker than our teeth are, so this can be more likely to cause minor chips or breakages that will need to be repaired.
If your composite is damaged or becomes chipped after treatment, it’s easy to fix. We’ll examine the damage before using the same composite material to re-shape the area.
Composite bonding is made of a composite resin material. This material is particularly effective at being able to mimic the surface and shade of natural teeth and can be shaped to achieve the results you’re looking for.
Composite bonding can provide great results, fast. Most patients can be treated in just one appointment, and because it’s minimally-invasive there is hardly ever the need to use drills or injections. This all helps make the process comfortable and time-effective for the patient.
If you are looking for ways to straighten teeth or fix crooked teeth, composite bonding could be an ideal solution. Composite bonding involves the skilful application of a composite resin to your teeth, which is then sculpted and hardened using a special UV curing light. Make sure to discuss any areas of your smile you’re uncomfortable about with your dentist before your composite bonding is applied.
Tooth bonding (also commonly referred to as composite bonding) is an effective way to hide imperfections in your smile. Tooth bonding is where your dentist will apply a tooth-coloured composite resin to teeth with imperfections like cracks, chips or discoloured areas. It can also be used to help correct uneven smiles.
Composite bonding is a much less invasive treatment than other forms of cosmetic dentistry, yet the impact of a good application does stand out. When carefully matched to the colour of your natural teeth, bonding can look extremely natural. Your dentist will thoroughly check your bonding feels comfortable and that you are happy with the results before you leave after the process is done.
Due to the speed with which it can be applied, it is one of the more affordable cosmetic dental processes. Tooth bonding also offers instant results for a quick smile upgrade, particularly when compared with other methods such as orthodontics.
The treatment process for composite bonding is relatively straightforward. Most applications can be completed within just one visit to the dentist, though this will depend on whether you already know exactly what you would like to have done.
There are alternatives to composite bonding that are often more effective for more noticeable corrections, including porcelain and composite veneers – these also may be worth considering with your dentist before you book in for your bonding treatment. A skilled cosmetic dentist will be able to apply the resin material to cover imperfections quickly, so your appointment shouldn’t take too long. It is a non-invasive process, so the only preparation necessary before having the bonding applied is to have your teeth thoroughly cleaned, or scaled and polished.
You may also need any preparatory dental or oral health work done before you have your composite bonding applied. This will help ensure your bonding lasts as long as possible.

Here at Ringway Dental, we’ve put together some of the most frequently asked questions that we get from our patients seeking composite bonding treatment at our Manchester practice. If we still have not answered your question on this page, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our friendly team who will be more than happy to assist you.
Composite bonding at Ringway Dental can usually be completed in one appointment, often within a few hours, so you can leave with your new smile the same day. The dentist applies and shapes the composite resin tooth by tooth, hardens it with a curing light and carefully polishes the final result.
Composite bonding at Ringway Dental hardly ever requires drilling or injections, as the treatment is minimally invasive and usually does not require reduction of the natural tooth. Preparation typically involves thoroughly cleaning the teeth, or scaling and polishing them. Any outstanding dental or oral health issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease, may need to be treated before composite bonding.
Composite bonding typically lasts around three to eight years, although its lifespan depends on factors such as the position of the teeth, the bite and aftercare, as explained in the practice guide to how long composite bonding lasts. Worn or chipped bonding can usually be removed using minimally invasive techniques, including air abrasion, and replaced with new composite material. In most cases, little or no filing of the natural tooth underneath is required.
Composite resin is slightly weaker than natural teeth, so bonding can chip if you bite your nails or chew hard objects. It can also become stained or discoloured by foods and drinks such as coffee, red wine and berries. If the bonding is damaged or chipped, Ringway Dental examines the area and can usually repair it by reshaping it with the same composite material rather than replacing the entire restoration.
Composite bonding for cosmetic purposes is not generally available on the NHS. At Ringway Dental, composite bonding is provided privately at its Cheadle and Altrincham practices. A free online consultation can help you explore whether composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers may be suitable for your teeth.
