Factors That Affect Cost of Composite Bonding at Hampshire Dental Care
Cost of Composite Bonding
The price of composite bonding is different for each patient for several reasons. These include the number of teeth being treated, the amount of modification required of the existing teeth, and the desired outcome of the patient.
Benefits of Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a preferred choice of treatment for a number of patients, as it has the potential to make improvements to multiple aspects of a smile in a less invasive way compared with other dental treatments.
What is Composite Bonding?
The process of composite bonding is where a resin is applied to the surface of a tooth, and then sculpted to the desired shape and hardened.
What does composite bonding treat?
At Hampshire Dental Care we use this treatment to improve the appearance of chipped teeth and also to close small gaps. This treatment can also help to correct the shape of teeth and to disguise staining.
What affects the cost of composite bonding?
Number of Teeth
Reshaping a single tooth costs less than reshaping multiple teeth. This is due to the time required to complete the treatment and the artistry involved.
Smile Makeover
An edge repair takes less time to complete than altering the length or width of multiple teeth to improve symmetry and proportions.
Treatment Planning
Prior to composite bonding, your dentist may examine your bite and/or existing restorations to understand how best to achieve a natural and functionally correct result.
Finishing and Maintenance
Because composite resins are soft when placed on a tooth, they can be sculpted to fit the surrounding tooth structures to a higher degree than other restorative materials. However, bite issues such as nail biting or hard object biting or grinding can disturb composite restorations. Chemical or staining substances, particularly ones containing chromogen (colors), can accelerate the discoloration of composite restorations.
Is Composite Bonding Worthwhile?
With advanced planning and techniques, composite resins can be used to change the appearance of a patient's smile by restoring or altering the color, shape, or size of a tooth or teeth. Composite resin bonding may also be used to change the shape of a tooth or close small gaps where little or no enamel must be removed.
Composite Resin Bonding vs Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers and composite resin bonding can both improve the appearance of teeth. However, composite resins have their greatest impact on small changes, and veneers on larger changes.
Why Consider Composite Resin Bonding over Porcelain Veneers?
When comparing costs of composite resin bonding and porcelain veneers, it is important to consider what you will be getting for your money. The price of the procedure will vary, but the cost of composite resin bonding will be significantly lower than that of porcelain veneers.
