Walk out with a new smile in just one visit
Comfortable treatment with minimal prep
Custom-matched to your natural tooth shade
A confident smile that’s easy on your wallet
Chipped or cracked teeth.
We can smooth out rough edges and rebuild chipped areas with natural-looking resin, restoring both function and appearance.
Small gaps between teeth.
Bonding can be used to gently close small gaps without the need for braces, reshaping the teeth to look more even.
Uneven tooth edges.
We’ll reshape and refine your teeth to create a neater, more balanced smile line.
Discoloured teeth.
If whitening isn’t suitable or effective, bonding can cover individual discolouration or staining for a cleaner, brighter look.
Worn-down teeth.
We can build up teeth that have worn down over time due to grinding or other habits, helping to restore a youthful appearance.
How composite bonding can improve your smile.
Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic treatment that can fix a range of common smile concerns. It’s a great option if you’re looking for subtle but effective improvements without major dental work.
What to expect from composite bonding at Red Lodge.
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin material, carefully applied and shaped by hand, to improve the appearance of your teeth. It’s ideal for minor imperfections, and the results can be transformative. After hardening the resin with a special light, we polish it to a natural-looking shine. The treatment is quick, comfortable and often doesn’t require any drilling or anaesthetic.
Personalised care to enhance your natural smile.
At Red Lodge, composite bonding is more than a quick fix; it’s a carefully crafted treatment designed to improve your smile’s appearance while preserving your natural teeth. We use a gentle, tailored approach to ensure your results look seamless and feel comfortable.

How to keep your composite bonding results looking great.
- Protect your bonding from wear.
Avoid habits like nail biting or chewing ice that can chip or damage the resin. - Maintain excellent oral hygiene.
Brush twice daily and floss regularly to keep your bonded teeth and gums healthy. - Limit acidic foods and drinks.
Acidic substances can weaken bonding over time, so try to reduce consumption of citrus fruits and soft drinks. - Avoid using teeth as tools.
Don’t use your teeth to open packages or bottles, as this can cause damage.
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. Grinding can wear down bonding. A custom night guard helps protect your smile.

"...From wringing my hands on the doorstep - thank you lisa for your patience and understanding, to bein..."
From wringing my hands on the doorstep - thank you Lisa for your patience and understanding, to being in the chair having a crown fitted! Thank you very much, Kostas and Gary, for taking such excellent care of me - outstanding throughout my three appointments. I am delighted with the result and was so pleased to be able to book my six month check up with absolutely no hesitation.
The reception staff were extremely attentive and caring, both before and after the treatment. The dentist , Ana, was super friendly, listened to me and made me feel at ease. The dental assistant that worked along side the dentist was amazing . Chatted and put my mind at ease as I was extremely nervous and emotional. I am extremely grateful to The team at Red Lodge Dental Surgery for helping me when I was in so much pain .
Went in today as an emergency and superb treatment from this gentleman and dental nurse. Very thorough treatment and not rushed at all.
I felt confident and relaxed whilst receiving treatment. Everything was explained in detail and I was well looked after. All staff are very professional and polite.
Have been coming here for some years and seen the surgery grow and modernise. The reception staff are aways friendly and organised & put you at ease. The dentists & their assistants are both professional & approachable. There is onsite parking. I would highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic friendly staff, very helpful. Wonderful dentist that takes time to explain treatments needed and gives options if available. Calm and friendly environment. Would definitely recommend.
Would recommend to anyone, everyone is friendly and kind - Dr Han is a great dentist for the whole family! She is reassuring, extremely knowledgeable and explains what is happening throughout.
I had Three fillings done by my dentist at Red Lodge Dental Surgery. It was a complicated fix, but I didnt feel a thing. The Dentist was so thorough with his care and so professional, as too was his assistant. Definitely would recommend.
Always professional and kind, especially for a nervous patient who it no longer nervous thanks to Dr Georgios Emmanouilidis. Couldn't recommend anymore
Amazing, caring service. Nothing is too much trouble
I would highly recommend this dental surgery. The dentist we see, Kostas, is so lovely and amazing with my son. The ladies behind the desk are so lovely, kind and very helpful. I would highly recommend. Especially if you're a nervous patient. Everyone there are so amazing and so very helpful. I can't thank them enough
Myself and my family have been with this dental practice for quite a few years now and in the past year I have had quite a lot of dental work done. I cannot fault the dentist at all. I have received very high quality work and care. All of the staff are very friendly, caring and helpful.
I have used this dentist for many years. Always found them to be professional and calm and the facilities are excellent. Today I went for the hygienist…. Always dread this… I can honestly say that was the best visit I have had. Very little in relation to pain , both Nicola and Amna made me relaxed and comfortable. It was a pleasure. I’ve booked for the next one as normally I skulk out and don’t book :-)
Had a lovely check up today with Dr Hansee, she is so sweet and has such a calming manner, if you were at all nervous then she totally puts your mind at rest. I actually look forward to coming to the dentists now which is something I can't always say about some of my previous dentists before I came to this practice.
I couldn't wish for a better dental practice. I have always been nervous when it comes to needles , from the lovely ladies on reception, and my dentist and dental nurse have all helped me to overcome my fear of needles. I always feel like they really care. Would highly recommend!
I want to say how amazing George the dentist is. I am so scared of the dentist and I needed a wisdom tooth out. It wasn't having the tooth out that scared me—it was the numbing they inject. But George and his nurse took time to make me feel settled. I was so nervous but felt looked after by George. His bedside manner is extraordinary. The reception staff are also lovely, it's like walking into a comfortable home. I will always visit this dentist and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. I'm writing this on my partner's account—that was the other thing, they allowed her in with me. So reassuring and comfortable. I thank all of them.
Kostas explains everything very clearly and then performs the procedure with confidence & efficiency. Very friendly staff all round, would highly recommend.
Konstantinos and Gary are a great team. Konstantinos is a sculptor and an artist when it comes to tooth repair. I'm actually looking forward to going back and getting the rest of my teeth fixed.
Excellent dentist, staff very polite and helpful would recommend this dental practice to anyone
Can't recommend the surgery enough! Front desk staff really helpful as always and George did a great job with a wisdom tooth extraction. Everything fully explained, quick and pain free, genuinely so much patience and care.
I had a extraction of two teeth it was quite pain free and only took a few minutes. I have had a extraction at my old dentist and it was painful 😒. My new dentist is just a really nice guy and cares about your comfort and takes time to explain was he is going to do.
This afternoon I had a dental appointment with George dentist. He's very caring, and I didn't even feel my injection. I have to go back in January 2025 to finish off rest of my treatment. Also, the receptionists are very nice and caring. I wish you all a happy Christmas holiday season.
"...And crown here. all great work. i would recommend george, if you need implant or other complex works..."
Brilliant dental surgery. I have my implant, root canal and crown here. All great work. I would recommend George, if you need implant or other complex works.
Really great. I was late but they held the appointment. Very friendly and informative throughout the procedure (replacement composite filling). Very happy with the end result. No pain during or after the procedure, with only minor discomfort afterwards but to be expected.
A very good dentist and assistant always satisfied with the work carried out.
"...S i can’t remember their names) were so kind to me. i had worked the appointment up in my head and i..."
I was particularly nervous ahead of an extraction appointment but both the reception staff as well as Dr Georgios put me at ease. From finding out that I needed a tooth out the reception staff were on hand to answer all my questions and they did so with such empathy. As for the appointment itself; Dr Georgios and his team (apologies I can’t remember their names) were so kind to me. I had worked the appointment up in my head and it really wasn’t as bad as first thought. Thank you so much to the team!
Very impressed - I’m a nervous patient but everyone here was so kind and put me at ease.
"...Onist go above and beyond to help. well recommend..."
Very professional. Everything explained about treatment needed. Felt at ease with the dentist and assistant. Great service and facilities for disabled. Parking great. Receptionist go above and beyond to help. Well recommend.
"...Cannot recommend the red lodge dental surgery and in particular dr..."
Cannot recommend the Red Lodge Dental Surgery and in particular Dr Konstantinos Karatzioulas and dental nurse Gary highly enough. The care and attention to detail is second to none. Excellent communication throughout and for a nervous patient this was very much appreciated. Over the months I have become more confident and less nervous about attending the dentist. Thank you to you both!
I was traveling through the area and was in pain. The team there squeezed me in, despite not being a patient there. Great support from a caring staff.
"...S comfortable as possible. i can highly recommend han as a very kind, considerate and professional d..."
I am an extremely nervous patient. I suffer with anxiety based depression and the Dentist is my worse nightmare! After several really bad experiences I can confidentially say I feel totally comfortable visiting Han and Kosta, the whole team to be completely honest including the Hygienist. Everyone at this Surgery goes out of there way to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I can highly recommend Han as a very kind, considerate and professional Dentist. Only down side is the cost.
"...OKed after from start to finish. highly recommend..."
The team is incredibly friendly and professional, and the dentists are exceptionally knowledgeable. Every procedure is clearly explained beforehand, so you always know what to expect. During surgery, they show great care and attention to ensure the experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. I felt well looked after from start to finish. Highly recommend.
"...Job he is a perfectionist, and i highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate..."
I've had the pleasure of being a patient of kosta, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional dentist. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and well cared for by Kosta and Gary. Kosta is not only highly professional but also incredibly considerate, taking the time to explain every step of the process and ensuring I was comfortable throughout. His attention to detail and commitment to providing top-notch care truly stand out. I couldn't be happier with the results of my treatment—Kosta did an amazing job he is a perfectionist, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate dentist. Thank you Neil
"...H for worthwhile and accepting. i would recommend her to all, very pleased and happy. thank you..."
Dr Hansinee Kuppan is so good at her practise, the best dentist I've seen. Very polite, honest and knows what she is doing. I think the Ramadan technique is so much better and more comfortable, when having treatment. It's hard having to pay for private treatment but having a good dentist, makes it so much for worthwhile and accepting. I would recommend her to all, very pleased and happy. Thank you.
"...In january my wife and i both had dental inspections with hans, which were carried out most professi..."
In January my wife and I both had dental inspections with Hans, which were carried out most professionally, we were both treated in a professional and friendly way. After the inspection we both needed a filling, we did not have to wait long for an appointment. The filling was done extremely well, I did not feel the injection at all, Hans made me feel very relaxed and her treatment was the best, the resulting filling looks good feels good. I felt NO pain during the treatment.
"...What she will be doing. i would highly recommend this practise. the whole team here are welcoming a..."
Hanna is amazing, she makes me feel very much at ease and it is clear that she genuinely prioritises patient care, she is gentle and explains clearly what she will be doing. I would highly recommend this practise. The whole team here are welcoming and caring.
"...I have always been extremely nervous of the dentist. red lodge dental practice have been very patien.."
I have always been extremely nervous of the dentist. Red Lodge dental practice have been very patient with me. Even recently having wisdom teeth removed, I was comfortable and able to ‘deal’ with the procedure without having to be sedated. I am so very grateful
"...Georgios, and he has been absolutely amazing. as a very nervous patient, i appreciated how he exp..."
I am a new patient of Dr. Georgios, and he has been absolutely amazing. As a very nervous patient, I appreciated how he explained everything he was going to do and outlined the treatment plan. I just finished my treatment and couldn't be happier. The entire staff is wonderful, including the nurses and the lovely receptionists.

Your questions about composite bonding at Red Lodge answered.
Wondering what your visit to Red Lodge will be like? Here are answers to some common questions from new patients
Got a question we haven’t covered?
Our friendly team is ready to help, just give us a call for a quick response.
Yes, we’ll always check your teeth and gums are healthy before any cosmetic treatment. If you’re not already a patient, don’t worry! We welcome new patients from all across the region including Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and surrounding areas and can book you in for a full consultation to get started.
Not at all. Most cases don’t even need an injection. We simply apply the resin directly to the tooth and shape it carefully. You might feel some mild sensitivity afterwards, but this is usually short-lived. If you're nervous, we’ll take things at your pace.
With good care, you can expect your bonding to last 5 to 7 years. Avoid biting into hard foods, maintain good oral hygiene and visit us regularly here in Suffolk to help keep everything looking great.
Yes, the resin can pick up stains, especially from tea, coffee, red wine or smoking. We recommend limiting staining foods and coming in for regular hygiene visits to keep your smile looking fresh.
It depends on the severity. Grinding (bruxism) can wear down or damage the resin, so we may recommend a night guard or consider alternative options. We’ll talk through everything at your consultation.
Yes, we carefully choose a shade of composite resin that blends naturally with your teeth. If you’re planning to whiten your teeth, it’s best to do that first, as bonding doesn’t respond to whitening.
In some cases, yes! Bonding is a great non-invasive option for minor cosmetic tweaks. It’s more affordable and quicker than veneers, though not quite as long-lasting. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option to help you decide what’s best for you.
Yes! We welcome patients from across Suffolk and nearby towns, including Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and even Cambridge. We're in a convenient location with free parking, making it easy to travel to us - find us here.
Many of our patients say they spent years dreading the dentist - until they found us. At Red Lodge, we take time to understand your concerns from the very first visit, including completing an anxiety assessment to help personalise your care. With clear explanations, sedation options when needed and a calm, welcoming space, we help even the most anxious patients feel at ease.
No, in most cases, everything you need can be done right here at Red Lodge Dental Surgery in Suffolk. We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, including dental implants, root canal therapy, clear aligners, sedation and surgical extractions, all in-house. That means you won’t need to travel or be referred elsewhere, ensuring you get consistent care from the team you know and trust.
Yes, we make it easy for families to get the care they need, all in one place. From children’s check-ups to adult treatments, we can coordinate family appointments to save you time and keep everyone smiling.
Yes, our surgery is on the ground floor and fully wheelchair-friendly, with step-free access and accessible facilities. We’re committed to making your visit as easy and comfortable as possible for all patients.
Absolutely. We use the latest dental technology to enhance your experience and ensure the highest standard of care. This includes digital X-rays for lower radiation exposure, 3D imaging for precise treatment planning and modern equipment that makes diagnosis and procedures quicker, safer, and more comfortable for you.
Our general dentistry services include everything you need to maintain a healthy smile. This covers routine check-ups, scale and polish cleanings, fillings, gum care, root canal treatments and oral health advice tailored to your needs. Whether it’s prevention or treatment, we’re here to support your dental health at every stage.
There’s no upper age limit for a straighter smile. Many adults from across Suffolk, including Red Lodge, Mildenhall, Newmarket, Fordham, Kentford, Chippenham, Tuddenham, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge, choose teeth straightening to boost confidence and improve oral health. If your teeth and gums are healthy, it’s never too late to start.
We offer discreet options like Invisalign, clear aligners and ceramic braces designed to blend naturally with your smile. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing treatment.
Treatment length varies depending on your individual needs. Many patients see noticeable results within 6 to 18 months. We’ll provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
Some mild pressure or soreness is normal, especially when your braces or aligners are adjusted. This usually passes quickly and means your teeth are moving as they should. Our team is here to support you through any discomfort.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Plus, many patients find it boosts their confidence and improves their bite and speech.
You’ll typically have regular check-ins every 6 to 8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We aim to keep visits convenient and efficient.
Yes, many of our patients find that straightening also improves bite issues like overbite, underbite or crossbite, helping with chewing function and overall oral health.
At Red Lodge Dental Surgery in Suffolk, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to meet your dental needs. This includes general dentistry like check-ups and fillings, cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and veneers, teeth straightening options including clear aligners and braces, dental implants to replace missing teeth, sedation dentistry for anxious patients, root canal therapy, surgical extractions, and more. Our goal is to provide personalised care tailored to your smile and health.
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and any specific needs you have, then recommend the most suitable treatment plan. We believe in clear communication and ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Most dental treatments are performed under local anaesthetic, which means you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure during or after treatment, but this usually passes quickly. For patients who feel anxious or sensitive, we offer sedation options to help you relax and have a comfortable experience.
Treatment durations vary widely depending on the procedure and your individual circumstances. For example, simple fillings can be completed in one appointment, while treatments like dental implants or orthodontics take longer and involve multiple visits. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline and explain each step before you begin.
Some treatments, such as routine check-ups and cleanings, usually require just one visit. More complex procedures like root canals, implants or teeth straightening often involve several appointments to ensure the best outcome. We strive to schedule your visits at convenient times and keep you fully informed throughout your treatment journey.
Your safety is our top priority. Our practice follows rigorous infection control protocols aligned with the latest health guidelines. We use modern sterilisation equipment, disposable tools where appropriate and maintain strict hygiene standards. Advanced technology such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging helps us diagnose and plan treatments accurately, reducing risks and improving comfort.
