What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding uses composite resin, the same material as composite fillings, to reshape and restore teeth. This process, called Bonded Restoration, rebuilds chipped, cracked, or broken teeth, returning them to their original state with long-lasting results when properly cared for. Beyond restoration, dental bonding is a cosmetic solution that improves the smile’s appearance by reshaping teeth, correcting discolouration, and closing gaps, without the need for veneers or orthodontics.

Comparing Dental Bonding to Other Treatment Options

There are many ways to restore your teeth or achieve your ideal smile, and the best option depends on your individual needs. We’re happy to discuss all available treatments and provide a detailed overview of their benefits and drawbacks during your appointment. Here are a few key advantages of dental bonding to consider:

Fast and Painless

Unlike fillings or veneers, dental bonding usually requires little to no drilling, preserving most of your natural tooth structure. This makes the procedure quick and virtually painless.

Affordable Investment

While treatments like veneers or orthodontics involve higher costs due to their complexity and customisation, dental bonding offers a cost-effective solution for minor changes to a few teeth.

Ideal for Minor Repairs

For significant smile transformations, treatments like veneers, crowns, or orthodontics may be more suitable. However, for minor adjustments, dental bonding remains a simple and effective choice.

The Process of Dental Bonding at Breslau

Whether dental bonding is for restorative or cosmetic purposes, the procedure follows the same steps. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

Preparing the Tooth for Bonding

The process begins with the placement of a thin plastic film, called a dental matrix, between your teeth to shield neighbouring teeth from the preparation gel or resin. The dentist will then clean and dry the tooth before applying a mildly acidic gel. This gel lightly roughens the tooth’s surface to enhance the adhesion of the bonding material.

Starting the Composite Resin Treatment

Once the gel is removed and the tooth is dried, the dentist applies composite resin, carefully selecting a shade that matches your natural teeth. The resin is applied in layers, with each layer hardened using a blue curing light to ensure durability and strength.

Finalizing the Smile

After checking your bite, the procedure concludes with a polish to give the tooth a natural look. The repaired tooth will blend seamlessly with your smile, often making it hard to distinguish. The bonded tooth will be noted in your dental chart, and during future visits, the dentist will check for any wear or maintenance needs.

The Cost at Breslau for Dental Bonding

Dental bonding serves various purposes, making it difficult to provide a standard cost estimate without evaluating your specific needs. Generally, the cost ranges from $300 to $600 per tooth without insurance. Most insurance plans cover dental bonding for restorative purposes, such as repairing damaged teeth, reducing out-of-pocket expenses to approximately $60 to $120.

Several factors influence the cost of your dental bonding treatment, including the number of teeth being treated, the need for x-rays, the amount of composite resin required, the location of the teeth, and your overall oral health.

An exact quote cannot be given over the phone, but following a detailed examination, we’ll provide an accurate in-person estimate to help you fully understand your costs and make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

The lifespan of dental bonding depends on factors like its location, your eating habits, and your oral hygiene routine. On average, bonding can last 4 to 10 years or more. During routine dental exams, any signs of wear can be addressed by applying additional composite resin to maintain its strength and appearance.

While not a permanent solution, dental bonding is highly durable and can last over a decade with proper dental care, healthy eating habits, and regular check-ups. If wear or damage occurs, the bonding can be reinforced by adding new layers of composite resin.

Dental veneers and bonding offer distinct benefits. Veneers are a longer-lasting option, ideal for patients seeking significant or transformative smile enhancements. Bonding, while more affordable and less invasive, is better suited for minor changes and has a shorter lifespan. The best choice depends on your individual needs and goals.

Dental bonding is a low-risk procedure that preserves the natural tooth structure, which remains largely intact under the bonding material. While the bonding may chip or break over time, it is easily repairable. One common consideration is that dental bonding does not respond to teeth whitening treatments. To address this, you can opt for whitening before bonding or replace the bonding to match the new shade of your teeth after whitening.

For those concerned about the longevity of bonding, veneers or crowns may be worth considering as they are stronger and longer-lasting alternatives.

Was a client before, moved then came back to the area. Came back to this dental office because it’s always been a positive experience. Clean, professional, friendly staff. Employees that actually like their jobs and happy to see their clients. Alicia the hygienist was thorough with the cleaning and explained everything. The admin (I think Charlene?) ALWAYS friendly in person or when I call. She contacted my insurance company for me to help me have the best experience and obtain the best dental care. 10/10 recommend. Happy to be back!
