Tooth Bonding
Tooth Bonding
In as little as an hour your smile could be transformed with tooth bonding for those individuals with little imperfections, cracks and chips in their teeth bonding could be the ideal solution.
Tooth bonding is a cosmetic treatment used to enhance the appearance of teeth. It is often used to improve the aesthetics of chipped and worn teeth.
Treatment involves the application of a composite filling (white filling) to the tooth in order to improve its appearance. Bonding will repair chipped, broken and discoloured teeth and can also be used to treat tooth decay.
The process can be done in a single, painless session. In most cases, there is no need for anaesthetic and the results are instantly visible. Bonding is one of the most affordable, simple and effective cosmetic dental procedures.
Tooth Bonding Treatment
Your dentist will select a shade of composite that matches your natural tooth colour. The tooth is etched and covered with a conditioning liquid before applying the bonding material to help the resin adhere to the tooth surface. Your dentist will then attach the composite to the affected area of the tooth and shape it into the correct shape. The composite is hardened using a powerful UV light and trimmed for a perfect finish.
The bonding process is usually complete within one hour and no recovery time is required. The treatment is most commonly used to repair chipped teeth, but it can also close tooth gaps and cover areas of discolouration.
Composite is not as strong as natural teeth and you may need to repeat the bonding treatment after a few years. It is best to avoid using the affected tooth to chew or bite hard foods.

Usha Ramjas - (GDC:71183)
My name is Usha Ramjas and I am part of the dental team at the Dental Studio. I graduated in 1995 in South Africa before moving to the UK.
I have a wide range of interests and a great passion for cosmetic dentistry. I love to create beautiful smiles that help patients to look and feel great, especially if I am helping someone to overcome their fear of the dentist.
In addition to cosmetic dental treatments like tooth whitening and veneers, I enjoy treating clients with facial rejuvenation treatments to create beautiful, youthful appearances. I work closely with all my clients to match their expectations and always go the extra mile to ensure they feel great and rejuvenated when they leave the practice.
There is nothing more rewarding and exciting than helping my clients to recover and improve their smiles. No two days are the same and I love the challenge. I am always learning and developing as I attend courses on a regular basis in the UK and abroad.
I am forward-thinking and always eager to learn about new treatments. Not just so that I can master new skills and learn the latest techniques, but so I am able to offer my clients the best treatments for the best results.
In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and enjoy travelling and cooking.
Neresh Behari - (GDC:75274)
I graduated in 1998 in South Africa. My true passion lies in the art of changing people's smiles which in turn changes their lives.
What gives me the most satisfaction is the role I play in changing people's lives. A great smile is vital to self esteem. Nervous patients allow me to express the kind and caring side of my nature to give them the confidence to change their perceptions of dentists.
I have built up a great patient base with my loyal patients travelling from far and wide to seek my expertise and professional care. I regularly attend many courses as I pride myself on being able to give my patients the very best.
I believe in complete dental care and my passion for dentistry drives me to find a predictable, long-lasting solution for my patients that gives them the very best looks at the same time.
We decided to travel before we opened our practices together so we moved to England because it is a central location to travel to and from. In the midst of all this, we had two children Nikhila and Kirav.
When I'm not pursuing my passion for dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my children and the family. We enjoy travelling the world and exploring different cultures, sampling their culinary dishes and experiencing different red wines.
I have a love for the sea including water sports such as scuba diving and swimming.
