Looking to enhance your smile’s natural beauty? Composite bonding offers a minimally invasive and artistic solution for addressing minor imperfections. Our skilled dental professionals in Stockport use this technique to carefully sculpt and shape resin, creating a seamless and natural-looking improvement to your teeth.
If you’re looking to address issues like chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth, composite bonding offers a reliable solution. Instead of focusing on aligning teeth, this treatment works with your existing tooth structure to create a more harmonious and attractive smile. By applying and shaping a tooth-coloured resin, this process enhances your teeth for a smile you’ll love. Reach out to discover your composite bonding options in Stockport.

It’s natural to have questions when considering composite bonding and how it works to enhance your smile. There can be a lot of information out there, but our dental team is here to answer everything you need to know. Your dedicated Ivy Dental dentist will assess your individual situation and discuss whether it is the right option for you. While each case is unique, composite bonding treatment typically involves the following stages:
The treatment process at Ivy Dental begins with a thorough oral assessment, including an examination of your teeth. Afterwards, we’ll give you a detailed treatment plan outlining the costs as well as how long you can expect your composite bonding to take. A consultation may be necessary to take photographs and impressions of your teeth as well – these allow us to plan your treatment with the utmost precision and care.
Once you have decided that composite bonding is right for you, you will be booked in for an appointment to apply the bonding material itself. This is usually done without local anaesthetic, and we will walk you through the process to make sure you feel comfortable.
Once the composite material has been applied, your dentist will shape and mold it to the desired appearance. A special light is then used to harden the material.
After the composite has hardened, we will carefully refine and polish the bonded areas to ensure they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you back a new and improved smile.
As with natural teeth, it’s important to take care of your composite bonding to help it last and to take care of the surrounding teeth and gums. We will give you all the care information you need, including home care support as well as a recommended maintenance plan with our professional team for long-term wellbeing.
We aim to make our approach and our fees as accessible as possible. Therefore, we have options for one-off treatments for non-members or membership programmes that provide continuity of care and best-value treatments, as well as features such as access to a global dental accident and emergency scheme. In addition, you can spread the cost of membership with interest free payments over 12 months via our finance provider, Practi, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
With proper care, composite bonding can last for several years. However, its longevity depends on factors like your oral habits, the location of the bonding, and the extent of the treatment.
Yes, composite bonding can stain over time, similar to natural teeth. To minimise staining, avoid excessive consumption of dark coloured beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, and refrain from smoking.
Brush your teeth gently with a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. Floss daily, being careful around the bonded areas. Your dentist can provide specific instructions for your needs.
Avoid biting down on very hard foods, such as ice or hard candy, as this can chip or damage the bonding.
Yes, regular dental check-ups are crucial. Your dentist will examine the bonding, polish it if needed, and ensure your overall oral health. We will provide a recommended maintenance plan to keep your smile looking its best.
