It’s crucial to follow the advice provided and adhere to the home care instructions to maintain healthy gums. Successfully managing gum disease requires a positive and proactive approach, working in collaboration with our experts. Your mouth will thank you, and your teeth will remain firm for longer!

Individuals with moderate to severe periodontal disease or those undergoing extensive dental procedures often choose to be treated by our specialist.

What Is Cosmetic Bonding?

When you hear about cosmetic dentistry, it’s often treatments such as veneers that grab the headlines. As such, you may not have heard of cosmetic bonding.

Sometimes referred to as ‘composite bonding’ or simply ‘tooth bonding’ this straightforward procedure cuts to the core of issues with your teeth and deals with them immediately.

Cosmetic bonding corrects:

t does all this using a natural-looking tooth-coloured resin that is applied to smooth over and reshape the tooth. The cosmetic bonding procedure is quick. A single tooth can be corrected in a matter of minutes, and you’ll be able to go about your daily life as normal immediately after we’ve worked our magic.

Due to the simplicity of the procedure, many people opt to have issues with several teeth addressed at the same time.

Dr Asia and Michelle sorted out a 15 year problem in 2 pain-free sessions (I’d put it off after several attempts by other dentists). I’d had an initial crown done abroad at a huge cost and it was never quite right. Joined this practice 18 months ago and am very happy indeed. I’d highly recommend the no-nonsense approach and excellent treatment.

I recently registered here with Dr Patel. He is calm professional, explained what treatment I needed for my teeth. My appointments went very well each times Doctor and his Nurses and his receptionist made me feel that I am in the right place.

This lady rushes her work-it seems that she wants to finish everything as quickly as possible which is an appalling attitude to have in the health profession.(its also had consequences which I cannot spell out here).

The Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding

The beauty of this highly effective treatment option is its simplicity. Many people choose to have cosmetic bonding because there’s no need to remove any part of your tooth in preparation for the composite resin.

Not only that, but you won’t experience any discomfort during the procedure, and there’s no downtime following it. The results speak for themselves; your smile will look divine.
