Why Does the

cost of composite
bonding vary

so much?

The rising demand for composite bonding has led to an increase in cases needing to be re-done, especially when cheaper options are chosen without considering potential trade-offs.

If the price is significantly cheaper, you should bear in mind that some compromise will have been made somewhere along the line

Composite bonding is a popular dental treatment that requires careful planning and precision, which may not be the best choice for every patient.

It involves a thorough evaluation of factors like tooth size, shape, facial appearance, overall oral look, tooth colour, bite alignment, speech patterns, and more when considering composite bonding.

Situations where composite bonding is suitable:

Composite bonding consideration 1

Making sure the composite bonding doesn’t get stuck under the gums – this can lead to bleeding and gum disease

Composite bonding consideration 2

To ensure that the sizes and shapes of the teeth are taken in to account

Composite bonding consideration 3

Ensuring the bite is correct at the end, to avoid the composite bonding chipping. You may need Invisalign before to ensure the bite is correct

Composite bonding consideration 4

It is also important to ensure that the composite bonding is not stuck between the teeth, which will make it difficult to clean between them

The dentist providing the veneers will look at the current shape of the teeth, their colour, your facial and gum contours as well as things like lip position and tooth symmetry to make a decision on the character and profile of the veneers. However, the dental lab can perform a waxed version attached to a study model of your teeth so you can see and even trial the smile before any treatment begins.
