How Much Does Cosmetic Dental Bonding Cost?

Cosmetic dental bonding is a process that corrects crooked teeth, closes gaps and restores teeth that are decaying. Dentists place a thin layer of plastic on the surface of the tooth, hiding stains, chips and gaps. The last step involves applying bonding, color and polish to give the plastic a more natural appearance.

  1. Price Determination

    • The price for cosmetic dental boding will vary by location and dentist. The price will also depend on the procedure and amount of work that you require.

    Average Price

    • The average price for most patients ranges from $300 to $600 for each individual tooth. The cost may be less if the damage or gap is small, or more if there is extensive damage.

    Insurance Coverage

    • Some insurance companies may cover dental bonding. These companies are more likely to cover the cost if it is a reconstructive procedure.

    Replacement

    • Cosmetic dental bonding will last up to 11 years through normal wear. Once it becomes loose or discolored, it is time to replace the dental bonding.
