Composite bonding

A non-invasive use of tooth-coloured filling material to lengthen or re-shape the front teeth.

Bonding uses a composite resin to close spaces, change the colour of the teeth, mask any discolorations, repair chips, change the size or shape of teeth, and give crooked or uneven teeth a straight-looking appearance.

Cosmetic bonding can be used on a single tooth or transform an entire smile. It is a simple technique that allows the white filling material to bond to the natural tooth, usually without the need to prepare/shape the tooth and is completed in one short visit. Another advantage of this technique is that an anaesthetic is not normally required, allowing you to smile with confidence, immediately. An artistic eye is required in order to produce natural seamless results and the dental team at Hest Bank Dental Care have trained extensively in this procedure, transforming many smiles.

After cosmetic bonding, your new smile should last several years depending on your lifestyle. Smoking, drinking or using your teeth as tools, may reduce the life expectancy of the bonding and you may need to get your teeth polished once a year as the bonding material stains more readily than natural teeth.

I had toothache that required looking at, I was told by the clinician that extraction was the only safe option as the tooth had split. I was given the option of taking time to think about immediate treatment or to book an appointment later. I opted for immediate treatment which was performed painlessly in less that an hour. I was advised as to what after care was available should a problem occur following the extraction. I'm happy to say no further pain or bleeding occurred. I was advised which follow up treatments are available to conceal the gap left in my 'smile' area. I plan to have follow up treatment.

On Thursday 3rd July 2025 I attended my regular Dental Practice at HestBank, Lancaster for a root filling and an extraction. Wik, my dental assistant at the time was very professional, obviously happy in her work and looked after me, constantly asking if I was ok, whilst assisting my dentist Stuart in his dental work. 5* service from Wik and Stuart, thank you. The whole Practice deserves a 5* rating for a friendly and professional approach to their work

On Thursday 3rd July 2025 I attended my regular Dental Practice at HestBank, Lancaster for a root filling and an extraction. My dentist Stuart was, as always, very professional, willing to explain the procedures in detail and answer all of my questions in a way that I could understand. His dental assistant Wik was also very professional, obviously happy in her work and looked after me, constantly asking if I was ok, whilst assisting Stuart in his dental workThe whole practice is very friendly, immaculately clean and somewhere I would not hesitate to recommend - a great team. I travel from Leeds, West Yorkshire every time I need to visit the dentist, so it must be good to justify that journey over the M62 each time!Dale Charnock, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Been a patient of Hest Bank Dental for many years. Great team of staff, always friendly and approachable. Practice run very professional and always kept clean. My dentist Mike has always done a great job looking after my teeth, although tbf not really had a great deal to do on them over the years. I also see Emma the hygienist who is so friendly and does a wonderful job cleaning up my teeth, yes I alway get told off for not getting in between my teeth properly

I had a fantastic experience at Hest Bank Dental Care! I recently went in for a scale and polish, and Emma and Leah were absolutely brilliant. They were both friendly, professional, and made the whole appointment really comfortable and relaxed. What really impressed me was the extra care and attention to detail they took — not just in the cleaning itself, which was incredibly thorough, but also in helping me look after my teeth going forward. Emma took the time to show me the proper cleaning techniques to use at home, which I really appreciated. It made a big difference knowing I was leaving with both cleaner teeth and better knowledge on how to keep them that way. I’m genuinely so happy with the service I received. Thank you, Emma and Leah, for your fantastic work — I’ll definitely be coming back!

After a front tooth of mine began to move down and forward I discussed my options with Katie. I had bad gum disease, which never goes away but can be managed. With regular checkups and hygienist visits I have stabilised the condition and so chose to have the tooth extracted and replaced with a sticky bridge. I’m a nervous patient and Katie is very calming and patient. I’m so happy with the results, she has given me a lovely natural smile back, and my confidence.

I love going to the dentist anyway, so having my dental hygienist appointment with the fabulous Emma is always a pleasure and never a chore! Her nice nature and warm personality shines through as she examines, cleans and polishes my teeth. Emma provides practical advice and guidance too, to ensure you keep up with great dental hygiene. On my visit, she was supposed by Joanna, who was extremely patient. The pair of them clearly work well together. Great experience all round. Thank you!
