What Is Dental Bonding?

A quick and painless procedure that utilizes a composite resin. It is renowned for its durability through the meticulous process of Bonded Restoration, our dentists expertly sculpt and shape chipped, cracked, or broken teeth, leaving them restored and ensuring lasting results with proper maintenance.

The Dental Bonding Process

Whether you’re getting dental bonding to restore a tooth or for purely cosmetic reasons, the process remains the same in Canada. Let’s walk you through what to expect during your dental bonding appointment:

Preparing the tooth

To ensure the neighbouring teeth are protected, a thin plastic film called a dental matrix is placed between your teeth. This film shields the adjacent tooth from any stray preparation gel or composite resin. Your dentist will then gently clean and dry your tooth, followed by applying a mildly acidic gel for a few seconds. This gel creates a rough surface on the tooth, enabling better adherence of the bonding material.

Applying the composite resin

Once the acidic gel is removed and the tooth is dried again, the composite resin is applied. Your dentist will choose a resin colour that matches your teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result. The resin is applied in layers, and for each layer, a special blue light is used to cure and harden it. This step enhances the strength and durability of the bonding.

Finishing touches

  1. After checking your bite to ensure everything aligns properly, your dental bonding is considered complete. As a final touch, your dentist will give your tooth a quick polish, resulting in a beautiful and natural appearance. In fact, you might even forget which tooth was repaired! We’ll make a note in your dental chart, and during future exams, your dentist will pay special attention to the bonded tooth to check for any signs of wear and tear.

How Does Dental Bonding Compare To Other treatments?

Numerous options exist to restore your teeth but the most suitable choices for you will depend on your individual needs. During your appointment, we will gladly explore and discuss all available options, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each, enabling you to make a well-informed decision. Nevertheless, let’s highlight some key benefits of dental bonding:

Quick & Painless

Unlike fillings or dental veneers, dental bonding typically eliminates the need for extensive drilling or removal of your natural tooth structure. In fact, the bonding procedure is remarkably painless as it requires minimal, if any, preparation, ensuring the preservation of your tooth’s integrity. Experience a comfortable and hassle-free process that delivers exceptional results while maintaining the natural beauty of your teeth.

Affordable

While comprehensive treatments like dental veneers and orthodontics come with a larger price tag. Dental bonding emerges as a straightforward solution for minor alterations to a few teeth, a budget-friendly option that effortlessly addresses minor concerns, providing you with a radiant smile without breaking the bank.

Great for Small Repairs

Dental bonding is an ideal choice for small repairs. It offers a practical and effective solution for addressing minor dental concerns, ensuring that even the smallest repairs are handled with precision and care. Experience the convenience and versatility of dental bonding, designed to deliver exceptional results for your specific needs.

The Cost of Dental Bonding In Waterloo

Since dental bonding serves a wide range of purposes, providing an exact cost estimate without understanding your specific needs and examining your teeth is challenging. However, on average, dental bonding typically ranges from $300 to $600 or more per tooth without insurance coverage. Fortunately, many insurance companies cover dental bonding, particularly when it is necessary to restore a broken or damaged tooth. With insurance, out-of-pocket expenses usually range from $60 to $120.
