Dental Bonding Collingwood

Dental Bonding is a popular Cosmetic and Restorative treatment as there are many benefits to this non-invasive procedure. Our dentists in Collingwood offer Dental Bonding to both New and Existing patients.

Here are some of the reasons why Dental Bonding is popular with our patients:

– Affordability

Dental Bonding is a very affordable alternative to other Cosmetic procedures such as Porcelain Veneers, Dental Crowns, Dental Implants, and even Professional ZOOM Teeth Whitening. Dental Bonding typically costs similar to a Dental Filling

– Non-invasive Procedure

Dental Bonding is a non-invasive procedure as it does not require the removal of natural tooth structures like Dental Veneers

– Single Appointment

Dental Bonding can be done in a single appointment ranging from 30 to 90 minutes, unlike Porcelain Veneers which typically require two appointments

– Aesthetic Finish

A skilled Collingwood dentist can provide a beautiful Cosmetic finish to your Dental Bonded tooth (or teeth). Dental Bonding can really help to bring back the natural beauty of your smile.

Although Dental Bonding has many attractive advantages, there are also a few disadvantages that you should be aware of before proceeding with treatment.

Here are the Disadvantages of Dental Bonding:

– Staining

The material typically used for Dental Bonding, a Composite Resin, is prone to staining over time. Food and drink such as coffee and wine can cause staining with Composite Resins. Most materials used for Dental Crowns and Dental Veneers, such as Porcelain, are highly resistant to staining.

– Durability

The Composite Resin material used for Dental Bonding is prone to breakage and is much weaker than most materials used for Dental Crowns and Dental Veneers, such as Porcelain and Ceramics. These materials tend to last much longer than the Composite Resins used for Dental Bonding. However, when cracks and chips occur, Composite Resins are much easier and more affordable to fix than Porcelain and Ceramics!

It’s always recommended to talk to our Collingwood dentists about your options for Dental Bonding before committing to treatment. Our team of dental professionals would be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about getting Dental Bonding in Collingwood!

While it depends on your objectives and goals for your smile, Porcelain Veneers are considered to be the ultimate standard for Cosmetic Dentistry. With that being said, Porcelain Veneers are considered to be expensive and require the removal of natural tooth structure. 

On the other hand, Dental Bonding and Composite Resins are a more economical option and do not require the removal of natural tooth structure. However, they won’t have the same ‘shine’ or aesthetic qualities as Porcelain Veneers. Composite Resins also stain and break/chip easier than Porcelain Veneers.

So, which is better? It really depends on your budget and overall goals for your smile. Our dentists at Collingwood Family Dental are here to help answer any questions or concerns you may have about the Dental Veneer or Dental Bonding process and can help you make a decision about which may be the best fit for your lifestyle, budget, and smile goals.

The cost for Dental Bonding at Collingwood Family Dental typically ranges from $300 to $1,000 per tooth. This is much more affordable than Porcelain Veneers which can range from $900 to $3,000 per tooth. Of course, any additional treatment outside of Dental Bonding such as Root Canals, Dental Fillings, X-Rays, Examinations, etc. is not part of this estimate.

Here are a few of the most significant factors that affect the Cost of Dental Bonding:

• The number of teeth being treated with Composite Resin
• The amount of Composite Resin needed for the treatment
• Current oral health condition
• Whether your Dental Insurance covers Dental Bonding
• Experience of Dentist performing the procedure (Specialists will be more expensive than General Practitioners)
• The overall complexity of the case

At Collingwood Family Dental, our fees are based on the current year’s Ontario Dental Fee Guide, which is provided by the Ontario Dental Association. These fees are subject to annual updates from the Ontario Dental Association.

In order to provide an accurate estimate, you will need to be examined by our dentists at Collingwood Family Dental. This will help us to understand your unique oral health condition and gain a better understanding of your goals and objectives for your smile. We can then provide an estimate based on your situation and answer any questions you may have about the treatment and estimate.

Many Dental Insurance companies cover a portion of Dental Bonding procedures if they are Restorative in nature. For Cosmetic Dental Bonding procedures, coverage will depend on the Coverage Plan and Insurance Provider. Dental Bonding may be covered under your Health Care Spending account if available. 

Our team at Collingwood Family Dental offers Direct Insurance Billing for the convenience of our patients. This means we send your bill directly to your insurance provider so you only have to pay any deductibles, copays, or other portions that are not covered by your Dental Insurance Plan. Our team would be happy to go over your coverage with you if you are uncertain about your Dental Insurance Plan.
