What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding uses composite resin, the same material as composite fillings, to sculpt and restore teeth. This versatile procedure, known as bonded restoration, repairs chips, cracks, or fractures, bringing teeth back to their original strength and appearance. With proper care, the results can last for years.

Dental bonding can also enhance the aesthetics of your smile by reshaping teeth, correcting discolouration, and closing gaps—all without the need for veneers or orthodontics. It’s an effective, minimally invasive option for achieving a healthier, more attractive smile.

How does dental bonding compare to other alternatives?

There are numerous options for restoring your teeth or achieving your ideal smile. The most suitable option depends on your individual needs. During your appointment, we’ll gladly discuss all available treatments, outlining their advantages and disadvantages, to help you make an informed decision. Here are some advantages of dental bonding to consider:

Painless and quick

Unlike fillings or veneers, dental bonding typically requires little to no drilling or preparation of the tooth. In most cases, very little, if any, natural tooth structure needs to be removed. This makes the procedure minimally invasive and virtually pain-free.

Low upfront costs

More extensive treatments like veneers or orthodontics come with higher costs, as they involve more complex, personalized plans for significant transformations. For minor fixes, however, dental bonding is a simple and cost-effective alternative.

Great for small fixes

While veneers, crowns, or orthodontics are better suited for addressing significant dental concerns, dental bonding is perfect for minor adjustments. It’s an easy and straightforward way to repair chips, cracks, or gaps and enhance your smile without extensive treatment.

The process of dental bonding

Whether you’re undergoing dental bonding for restorative purposes or aesthetic improvements, the procedure is straightforward and consistent. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:

Preparing the teeth

A thin plastic dental matrix is placed between your teeth to protect the neighbouring teeth from preparation gel or composite resin. Your dentist will clean and dry the tooth before applying a mild acidic gel to create a rough surface, helping the bonding material adhere securely.

Applying the resin

After rinsing off the gel and drying the tooth again, the dentist applies composite resin matched to your natural tooth colour. The resin is applied in layers, with each layer cured using a special blue light to ensure optimal strength and durability.

Finishing Up

Once your bite is checked for comfort, the dentist will polish the bonded tooth to create a smooth, natural appearance. The result is a seamless restoration that blends perfectly with your smile. The bonded tooth will be monitored during future check-ups to ensure it remains in excellent condition.

Cost of dental bonding in Drayton

The cost of dental bonding varies depending on your individual needs and the condition of your teeth. Without insurance, it typically ranges from $300 to $600 or more per tooth. Most insurance plans cover dental bonding, especially for restoring broken or damaged teeth, leaving you with an out-of-pocket cost of approximately $60 to $120 per tooth.

    When determining the cost of your treatment, factors include:

  • The number of teeth needing bonding.
  • Whether new X-rays are required.
  • The amount of composite resin needed.
  • The location of the teeth in your mouth.
  • Your overall oral health.

Since every case is unique, no dentist can provide an accurate quote over the phone. Following an in-person examination, we’d be happy to provide you with a detailed estimate, so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental bonding typically lasts between 4 to 10 years or longer, depending on factors like the location of the bonding, your eating habits, and oral hygiene. During routine dental exams, your dentist can monitor for wear and apply additional composite resin if needed to maintain strength and appearance.

While dental bonding isn’t permanent, it is highly durable. With proper care, healthy eating habits, and regular check-ups, it can last over a decade. If signs of wear appear, the bonding can be reinforced with additional layers of composite resin.

Both options have unique benefits. Veneers are ideal for dramatic, long-term smile transformations, offering greater durability and addressing significant cosmetic concerns. Bonding, while less durable, is a more cost-effective and minimally invasive choice for minor adjustments, requiring less alteration of the natural tooth structure.

Dental bonding is low-risk, as the natural tooth structure remains intact beneath the bonding. The material may chip or break over time but is easily repairable. However, bonding does not respond to teeth whitening treatments. Whitening your teeth before bonding or replacing bonding to match a whitened smile are effective solutions.

If durability is a concern, consider alternatives like veneers or crowns, which offer greater strength and longevity than dental bonding. Consult your dentist to find the best option for your needs.

I’ve never been excited to go to the dentist. I have the worst teeth … never a visit without a cavity - ever since I was a kid. But I HAD to have a tooth removed. This was my first visit to Drayton Dental and it was amazing. The staff was friendly, empathetic and supportive. It was the first time in my life that a dental visit didn’t make me feel embarrassed of my lousy teeth. I’m grateful for the folks at Drayton Dental 😊
