How Much Does Composite Bonding Cost?

Composite bonding is a relatively straightforward cosmetic dental technique that can be used to uplift smiles in a range of situations.

It’s frequently used following emergencies such as dental trauma that has resulted in a cracked or chipped tooth. Many patients also seek composite bonding for minor dental issues, primarily those that impact the way their smile looks. It can also offer a protective covering and help avoid sensitivity if part of your tooth has been lost. For more serious or deeper-rooted problems, your dentist will be able to offer their professional judgement – which may involve an alternative procedure.

If the idea of getting composite bonding has piqued your interest, this article will go into more detail. Read on to find out how much composite bonding costs, whether it’s worth the impact, and find out which other alternatives may suit you better.

How Much does Composite Bonding Cost?

Composite bonding in the greater Manchester area generally costs around £300.00. At Ringway Dental, we charge £350.00 per tooth treated. As with any dental procedure, the cost of treatment will depend on whether you have any outstanding or more complex concerns to deal with.

It is recommended you have any pre-existing dental health concerns dealt with before the composite bonding treatment goes ahead. A reputable dentist will always examine your oral health thoroughly before proceeding with the treatment. This is vital as it helps avoid the risk of simply ‘covering up’ concerns that will later need to be treated. The costs of any corrective treatments can mean your composite bonding procedure will be more expensive.

Some private dental practices offer a range of payment options to help you spread the cost of treatments – even cosmetic ones. At Ringway Dental, we are pleased to offer eligible clients the opportunity to finance the costs with our 0% interest financing option. This gives our patients a simple way to spread the costs of cosmetic or dental care over the course of up to 48 months.

Is it Worth Getting Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available out there. Asking yourself whether composite bonding is worth it involves asking yourself the following questions:

• What am I looking to gain from my treatment?
• Will composite bonding improve my smile?
• Will an alternative to composite bonding offer better value for money?

Your experienced dentist will be best placed to help you answer these questions. It’s worth weighing up the benefits of composite bonding, too. It is one of the least invasive treatments available, and can be applied in just one sitting or visit to the dentist.

Many patients that visit us for composite bonding treatment say they feel much more confident following their procedure with us. Addressing any cosmetic dental concerns with a simple visit to our practice is something many people will wait years to do, despite it being a straightforward procedure. It’s also highly affordable – those that have been waiting to transform their teeth are often shocked by the results, and regret not having done it sooner.

Composite bonding can even make normal activities more comfortable, such as eating or smiling. If you have an abnormal bite, composite bonding offers a reliable way to quickly alter the structure of your teeth – meaning they will sit in a more uniform way, improving your comfort as you go about everyday life. For more complex malocclusions, it may be worth having a conversation with your dentist about the potential for orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign or hidden braces.

Are there Alternatives Worth Considering?

Composite bonding is often chosen by our patients as it’s one of the most efficient ways to boost or fix a smile. In comparison with other methods, it’s a non-invasive technique yet it yields impressive and lasting results.

If you are looking for a longer lasting solution, composite bonding may not be the best route of treatment. Composite veneers tend to last longer, whilst porcelain veneers can offer the most realistic and durable option. Here’s a breakdown of the alternative treatments available and some of the issues they can help resolve:

Composite veneers

Composite veneers are made from the same material as composite bonding, so they offer a similar finish. The difference with composite veneers is the way the material is applied. With composite bonding, the resin material is only applied to the affected part of the tooth. If you opt for composite veneers, the composite material is applied over the majority of the tooth for increased coverage.

Composite veneers may be the better option if you would like a more uniform look. It is often applied to a number of teeth at a time, for a transformative effect that can noticeably uplift your smile. This transformation can last up to 7 years with good care and regular checkups!

Composite veneers cost from £450.00 per tooth. Unlike porcelain veneers, they are a non-invasive treatment option.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are made from a natural porcelain material, which closely mimics the translucency and strength of our teeth. If you feel composite veneers won’t look as realistic as you’d like, or you’re willing to invest in longer-lasting results, porcelain veneers are a definite option to think about.

Porcelain veneers are on the pricier side, starting at £990.00 per tooth. If you are looking for value for money though, they may be more cost effective in the long run. They can last up to 15 years with high quality care – almost twice as long as composite veneers.

Crown

A dental crown can be an ideal option if you have discoloured or misshapen teeth that need attention. It’s also ideal if you have a deeper-rooted dental concern that goes beyond being an aesthetic issue alone. The cost of a crown begins at £775.00 and they can last up to 15 years with proper care.

Discussing any potential alternatives to composite bonding with your dentist can help you make the best decision for your smile. It’s in our best interests to help you achieve the smile you deserve!
