TOOTH BONDING AT BRISBANE SMILE BOUTIQUE

TOOTH BONDING

Tooth bonding is the use of a tooth coloured plastic adhesive, called composite resin that your dentist will shape and polish to match the surrounding teeth. By bonding the restorative materials onto your teeth, dentists can alter or change the appearance of individual teeth and improve your smile. 

TOOTH BONDING APPLICATIONS

  • Repair chips and cracks in teeth and broken areas

  • Close gaps between teeth

  • Reshape teeth

  • Conceal staining and discolouration

  • Repair a broken front tooth

A VERY SMALL CHIP RESTORED

Tooth bonding may be performed in a single visit and for one tooth takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. It tends to be less expensive than other cosmetic treatments, is relatively painless and is usually performed without anaesthesia.

KEEP IN MIND WITH TOOTH BONDING

Beware when biting. The resin used in dental bonding is not as strong as a tooth. If you bite your nails, or ice cubes, or the pens in your office, you risk chipping the material.

  • If you follow a consistent oral care routine of twice-daily tooth brushing and daily flossing with a soft floss, your bonding should last for several years before it will need to be replaced.

FEES AND APPOINTMENTS FOR TOOTH BONDING

Fees range from $395 to $850 for tooth bonding, depending on the complexity of the bonding. A small chip on a tooth may be $395, but changing a tooth dramatically will require a great deal more time and be more complex for your dentist to correct.

Moving a tooth in the bite, or changing the shape or height of the tooth is called a composite resin veneer which would cost $850 per tooth. The dentist will correct your tooth shape and colour until you are happy. Be mindful that there are limitations to tooth bonding, because underlying tooth colour can sometimes shine through, and it may not be suitable for all patients. Your dentist will help you to make the best decision for your case.

You may consider a porcelain veneer which is stronger and will last longer, and be less inclined to stain or chip over time, because it is machined glass, custom made to look like a real tooth in the laboratory, by master ceramists.

The fee for a porcelain veneer is $1900 per tooth, with a 3 week turnaround.

Time required for an appointment for tooth bonding ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours per tooth.

Mostly local anaesthetic is not required, unless there is decay or an old filling inside the tooth.
