Composite Bonding

This minimally invasive technique is ideal for correcting a variety of dental imperfections. Here, we explore what composite bonding is, its benefits, and how it can transform your smile.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dentistry technique that involves the application of a tooth-coloured resin material to the teeth. This composite resin is then shaped and hardened with a special light, effectively bonding the material to the tooth to improve a person’s smile.

Composite bonding is an art that combines skill and aesthetics to transform your smile. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that your composite bonding treatment not only meets but exceeds your expectations, providing you with a natural-looking, beautiful smile.

FAQs

What dental issues can composite bonding address?

Composite bonding is versatile and can be used to correct various dental issues, such as:

Chipped or cracked teeth.
Discoloured teeth.
Gaps between teeth.
Short or uneven teeth.
Mildly misaligned teeth.

What are the advantages of composite bonding?

Aesthetic Enhancement: Composite bonding can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure usually requires minimal tooth enamel removal, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Quick Process: Most composite bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit.
Cost-Effective: It is generally more affordable than other cosmetic dental procedures like veneers or crowns.
Customisable: The resin can be matched to your natural tooth colour for a seamless look.

How long does composite bonding last?

While not as durable as other cosmetic dental treatments, composite bonding can last many years with proper care and maintenance. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits that can damage the resin (like biting nails or chewing hard objects) can extend its lifespan.

Is composite bonding right for me?

Composite bonding is suitable for individuals looking to correct minor dental imperfections quickly and affordably. It’s an excellent option for those seeking cosmetic improvement without the commitment to more extensive procedures.

Going to the dentist is never something one looks forward to – you go because you must. I broke a tooth and I happened upon Monkfield Dental. I have an anxious personality and was scared. Dr. Ricardo Macedo is friendly, kind and professional and, above all, very patient. I needed various visits, and always received caring attention from Dr. Ricardo and the other members of his team.

From my very first visit I have found this dentist like no other I have ever visited. From the very warm welcome by the receptionist to the skill and patience of Ricardo, I have never felt so calm about going to the dentist The treatment is first class with state of the art equipment. If you are squeamish about visiting a dentist fear not, go see Ricardo and his team for a friendly, first class service. Thank you all very much.

I'd left it a lot of years without any dental care, as have not been able to get an NHS appointment, but decided enough was enough and I should get a once over. The team there were lovely, efficient and got me in and out quickly. Would very much recommend.

After leaving it a lot longer than I should have, I summoned the courage to visit Ricardo at his newly opened practice. The practice instantly feels a welcoming and calm space which really helps calm the nerves. Ricardo took the time to explain and show me what needed to be done, and never did he make me feel guilty nor ashamed for my lack of dentist attendance over the years (this was also another thing I worried about!)I returned for my procedures which were all completed in one appointment. I had a lot of anxiety surrounding the dentist due to past experiences but feel that I will now be able to attend consistently to keep on top of things a lot better. Thank you.I recommend this practice especially to nervous patients :)

It was very nice to meet Ricardo on my first appointment. Profesional at every single level with clear information and plans in place to go forward. The less is more aptitude applied when possible and honesty makes this place a must for anything you need.

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Pietro Mannino and nurse Georgia Tobitt, and I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and care. The initial examination was thorough, with a set of X-rays and a clear, well-explained treatment plan. I had a complex filling done, and the process went smoothly without any issues. Overall, a great experience—highly recommended!

I recently visited Monkfield Dental Clinic and was extremely impressed with the service I received, from start to finish .The clinic was clean , very nice interior and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and professional and they coped with my humour 😅.The dentist was thorough and explained everything clearly, and even explained the anatomy and physiology of all the issues which arrived with some of my teeth in a very simple understandable manner with no jargon . This made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I would highly, recommend Monkfield Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental care.My teeth really look clean from the new air treatment polish and and stain free, finally I can say I have found my new permanent dentist place, which tailors to a clients need and takes time to explain.Cathrine

I started treatment with Monkfield Dental after having a lot of problems due to grinding my teeth. Ricardo, Georgia and Pietro have been fantastic. They are friendly, professional and clearly excellent at what they do. I am a very happy customer.

The whole of Ricardo’s team at Monkfield Dental are wonderful. I had not been to the dentist in two decades and it required someone special to gain my trust. The team quickly made me feel at ease and helped to alleviate the unwanted stress of visiting the dentist. They have really impressive new facilities that can provide for all of your dentistry needs. The preliminary investigations felt far more meticulous and comprehensive than anything I have ever received from previous NHS dentists. The problems with my teeth were clearly outlined to me and a clear treatment plan was shared with me before moving forwards. I felt well informed every step of the way and Ricardo made every effort to explain what was happening during each procedure and to ensure that I was comfortable throughout the process. I will keep returning to Monkfield for treatment in the future and can happily recommend them to anyone that is searching for a new clinic.

I cannot say enough positive things about Monkfield Dental! When my son experienced a dental emergency and we couldn't get a response from his regular dentist, we turned to Monkfield Dental for help. From the very first call, we were met with exceptional service. Doctors Ricardo and Pietro exhibited remarkable care and professionalism throughout the entire process of treating my son's tooth.My son is quite anxious when it comes to dental visits, but they went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at ease. Despite the complexity of the situation, they skillfully completed a root canal treatment without causing any additional stress or discomfort.What truly impressed me was the thoroughness of each visit. We never felt rushed or overlooked; instead, every aspect of my son's dental care was carefully attended to.

I visited Monkfield dental for the first time last week and ended up having to book in two further visits. They were very accommodating and I was able to get everything sorted within the same week. It was a great service and Ricardo managed to save my teeth from further work being required. Would 100% recommend

I have had two appointments here recently, after almost 10 years of not visiting a dentist! This is a brand new practice, with modern decor and immaculately clean. The receptionist is very welcoming and eases your mind, if like me, you're a bit nervous. The dentist himself is a young, friendly practitioner who makes the extra effort to introduce himself personally with a big warm smile. He goes through the procedure with you - and explains the results of your X-rays & photographs. There is good communication between dentist and patient throughout the examination - so that too helps to calm and nerves. I had a new filling on my second visit and a complete clean (which was sorely needed!). All in all, for me at least, this was a smooth and pleasant experience - despite my low threshold to pain! Happy to go back there in 6 months time for another check-up.
