Mt Gravatt
Dental bonding, also known as teeth bonding or composite bonding, is a procedure in which a tooth coloured resin material is bonded to your tooth to restore or improve your tooth’s surface.
Composite Bonding is a versatile, effective treatment, allowing dentists to improve the cosmetic appearance of the tooth surface, length, edges or cavities.
Composite Bonding At Fix Dental Brisbane
At Fix Dental Mount Gravatt and Chermside we offer composite resin veneers as a cost effective option to improve the cosmetic appearance of your teeth. Resin veneers are an excellent option for those that already have healthy teeth and just require an aesthetic overhaul, or for those that have chipped or damaged their teeth and need a fast solution.
How Much Does Teeth Bonding Cost?
While dental bonding is one of the more affordable cosmetic dental options, the overall price of treatment depends on a number of factors, including how many teeth require bonding, the current condition of your teeth and whether you need anaesthesia. On average, you can expect to pay around $250 to $400 per tooth. You’ll need to replace the bonding about every 5 years.
Are There Any Risks With Teeth Bonding?
A composite bonding procedure doesn’t come with any major risks however this is because the treatment isn’t as permanent as other options like veneers or crowns.
It’s possible for the composite bonding to chip or separate from your real tooth. Especially if you eat ice, chew on pens or pencils, bite your fingernails or eat hard food or candy.
The composite resin will also stain easier than other dental materials. You may develop some discolouration if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee.
How To Make Your Teeth Bonding Last Longer
Composite bondings will last on average 5 years however you will need to maintain them to ensure their longevity.
You can take the following steps to make your dental bonding last:
- Brush twice a day with non-abrasive toothpaste that contains fluoride and soft-bristle brushes
- Use the right flossing technique to floss regularly
- Professional cleaning and regular dental check ups and help spot early problem signs with your dental bonding
- Avoid chewing hard items such as candies, ice cubes or your fingernails
- Coffee, tea, red wine, curry, and other items will stain your teeth
- Stop smoking or chewing tobacco
Which is better? Composite Bonding Vs Porcelain Veneers
One of the most common questions surrounding composite bonding is about the differences between dental bonding and porcelain veneers. Both serve similar purposes however porcelain veneers will generally last longer and are less prone to chipping or discolouration.
Overall, composite bonding is a faster and cheaper method to improve minor aesthetic flaws on your teeth. It is a quick process with the ability to restore a natural smile that does not involve invasive procedures or constant dentist appointments. Our composite resin veneer package is straight-forward and simple.
