Fix Chipped, Gapped and Uneven Teeth in a Single Visit
Aesthetic Resin Matched to Your Natural Tooth Shade.
A Quick, Painless and Drill-Free Procedure.
Transform your smile and appearance in a single visit with Composite Bonding at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth.
Composite, or Dental, Bonding involves using dental composite, a paste-like material made from acrylic resin, sculpted like putty into the desired shape.
The resin comes in many shades to match your natural teeth’s exact colour, shade, and texture.
After being hardened with a UV curing light, the cosmetic bonding is strong enough to bite with by the end of your appointment.

What Can Dental Bonding Fix?
Composite Bonding FAQ
How long will my composite resin enhancements last?
While composite bonding is not permanently indestructible, it is highly durable. The aesthetic resin we use is strong enough for you to bite and chew normally as soon as you leave the clinic.
With excellent daily brushing and regular visits to our Plymouth dental hygienist, your bonded teeth will typically last around 5 years before they require a quick polish or minor maintenance repair to keep them looking their absolute best.
Where is your cosmetic dental clinic located, and where can I park?
You will find our state-of-the-art practice at 7 Lockyer Road, just a short walk from Mutley Plain in Plymouth (PL3 4RL). We are incredibly easy to reach, whether you are travelling from the Manadon roundabout, Drake Circus, or across Laira Bridge.
Convenient on-street parking is available right outside our doors (please note it is permit-only between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm). Alternatively, the Mutley Barracks and Napier Terrace car parks are just 100 metres away and offer two hours of free parking.
What types of cosmetic dental issues can composite bonding fix?
Composite bonding is an incredibly versatile treatment. We use a high-grade, putty-like acrylic resin to seamlessly repair broken, chipped, or cracked teeth.
It is also a fantastic way to mask heavy discolouration, replace unsightly old metal or black fillings with tooth-coloured alternatives, and even close small gaps between your teeth as a fast, cost-effective alternative to orthodontic braces.
How does the single-visit dental bonding procedure work?
One of the greatest benefits of composite bonding is that we can transform your smile in a single visit to our Plymouth clinic. First, we thoroughly clean and gently prepare the surface of your tooth.
Next, we select the exact shade of resin to perfectly match your natural tooth colour. We then sculpt the resin into the desired shape, instantly harden it using a specialist UV curing light, and finally buff and polish it to a smooth, natural-looking finish.
Will cosmetic bonding damage my natural tooth enamel?
Not at all. Composite bonding is a minimally invasive, entirely drill-free procedure. Because we simply apply the resin directly to the surface of your existing tooth, it does not damage your natural enamel in any way.
Furthermore, the resin is fully reversible and can be safely removed by our dental team in the future without harming the tooth underneath.
Who will carry out my composite bonding treatment?
Your smile transformation will be meticulously handled by our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst. Celebrating 40 years in dentistry, Dr Bronkhorst is an internationally trained Cosmetic Dentist.
Her extensive expertise and keen eye for detail ensure that patients across Devon receive world-class, natural-looking aesthetic results.
I am a very nervous patient. Is the composite bonding procedure painful?
There is absolutely no need to worry. Cosmetic bonding is a remarkably quick and completely painless procedure that generally requires no drilling and no local anaesthetic injections.
However, we understand that simply sitting in the dentist’s chair can be stressful for some. Our Mutley Plain clinic is a calm, welcoming environment, and Dr Bronkhorst has a special interest in treating nervous patients, including offering dental sedation if required.
Can I use composite bonding to close gaps instead of having Invisalign?
Yes, absolutely. If you have minor spacing issues or small gaps between your teeth, composite bonding is a highly effective, immediate solution.
Rather than spending months wearing clear aligners, we can artistically apply composite resin to slightly widen the teeth, seamlessly closing the gaps in a single appointment.
Do I need an NHS referral to book an appointment?
No referral is necessary to access our cosmetic dental services. We proudly serve private patients from all over Britain’s Ocean City and the surrounding areas, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village, and Derriford.
We also warmly welcome patients travelling across the Tamar from Saltash and Torpoint, as well as those coming from Ivybridge. Simply contact our reception team to arrange your initial consultation.
