Bonding - Composite Veneers - Resin Veneers
Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling “bonds” with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.
Tooth bonding can also be used for teeth fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back teeth depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
Bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic treatments and usually can be completed in one visit to our office. However, bonding can stain and is easier to break than other cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers. If it does break or chip, tell your doctor. The bonding generally can be easily patched or repaired in one visit.
What is teeth bonding? How does it work?
Why get teeth bonding?
Are there any risks of teeth bonding?
Dental bonding doesn’t have any major risks.
Keep in mind that the composite resin used with this procedure isn’t as strong as your natural teeth.
It’s possible for the material to chip or separate from your real tooth. Chipping or breaking, however, doesn’t occur as often with a crown, veneer, or filling.
A bonded tooth might chip if you eat ice, chew on pens or pencils, bite your fingernails, or bite down on hard food or candy.
The resin also isn’t as stain-resistant as other dental materials. You may develop some discoloration if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee.
How much does teeth bonding cost?
The cost of tooth bonding varies based on location, the extent of the procedure, and dentist expertise.
On average in Australia, you can expect to pay around $270 to $850 per tooth. You’ll need to replace the bonding about every 5 to 10 years.
How to prepare for teeth bonding?
Tooth bonding doesn’t require special preparation. But you’ll need to consult your dentist to see if you’re a candidate for this procedure.
Bonding might not work if you have severe tooth damage or decay. You may need a veneer or crown instead.
How to care for bonded teeth
Taking care of your teeth helps extend the life of a bonded tooth. Self-care tips include:
- brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily
- avoiding hard food and candy
- not biting your nails
- avoiding coffee, tea, and tobacco for the first two days after the procedure to avoid stains
- scheduling regular dental cleanings every six months
See a dentist if you accidentally chip or break the bonding material, or if you feel any sharp or rough edges after the procedure.
The takeaway
A healthy smile is a confidence booster. If you have discoloration, a chipped tooth, or a gap and you’re looking for an inexpensive repair, see your dentist for a consultation.
Your dentist can determine whether this procedure is right for you, and if not, recommend other options to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Do you offer Child Dental Benefits Schedule ?
We offer children’s dentistry treatments available under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) to those children between 2 and 17 who qualify. Eligible children from a family receiving Family Tax Benefit A or a relevant Government payment have access to a benefit cap of $1,000 over a two calendar year period. The CDBS is a good incentive and support for parents seeking the best care of their children’s oral health.
Are there any restrictions for CDBS
There are some restrictions on the CDBS such as orthodontic, cosmetic dental work and dental services provided in hospital, we can assess your children’s dentistry needs and help you determine eligibility, so that you can set your child on the way to sound oral health care patterns.
When should my child visit the dentist?
Generally speaking children should see a dentist by the time they’re one year old or when their first tooth comes through, whichever happens first. After that, we will let you know how often to bring your child for a check-up which is usually every 6-12 months.
Can my child get tooth decay?
Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars from both food and drinks. These bacteria produce acid, which damages the outer surface of the tooth. Saliva helps to repair this damage, but if there is more damage than repair, it leaves a cavity or in the tooth which we then need to fix.
