What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding involves the use of a composite resin material, which is similar to the material used in composite fillings, to shape and restore the natural structure of your teeth. This process, called Bonded Restoration, can effectively repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth, restoring them to a condition that looks both natural and aesthetically pleasing. With proper maintenance, the results of dental bonding can last for many years.

In addition to restoring the function of your teeth, dental bonding can also enhance the appearance of your smile by reshaping teeth, correcting discoloration, and closing gaps, often eliminating the need for more invasive treatments like veneers.

How Does Dental Bonding Compare to Other Options?

At our practice, we offer a variety of options to restore and enhance your smile. During your appointment, we will review all the available options and guide you toward the treatment that best fits your needs.

When compared to other cosmetic treatments, dental bonding has several notable benefits:

Quick and painless

Unlike dental veneers or fillings, dental bonding requires little to no drilling or tooth preparation. This means that very little of your natural tooth structure is removed, making the procedure virtually painless.

Low upfront cost

While treatments like dental veneers and orthodontics can be more expensive due to their complexity and customization, dental bonding is a more affordable option for addressing minor cosmetic issues, offering a cost-effective way to enhance your smile.

Great for small repairs

While comprehensive smile transformations may require more extensive treatments like veneers, crowns, or orthodontics, dental bonding is ideal for smaller cosmetic changes. It’s a great solution for minor imperfections and provides a fast and effective fix.

The Dental Bonding Process

Whether you’re opting for dental bonding to restore a tooth’s functionality or improve its appearance, the process follows the same steps

Here’s what you can expect during your dental bonding appointment:

Preparing the tooth

First, your dentist will use a dental matrix, a thin plastic film, to protect your neighboring teeth from any preparation gel or resin. After that, the tooth receiving the bonding is cleaned and dried. A mild acidic gel is applied briefly to create a rough surface that ensures the resin bonds effectively to the tooth.

Applying the composite resin

After the preparation gel is cleaned off and the tooth is dried, the dentist will apply the composite resin. This resin is carefully selected to match the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. The resin is applied in layers, and each layer is hardened using a specialized blue light to ensure optimal strength and durability.

Finishing touches

Once the resin has fully set and your bite is checked and adjusted if necessary, your dentist will polish the bonded tooth, giving it a smooth and natural finish. It will be difficult to distinguish the repaired tooth from the rest of your teeth. The procedure is complete, and the dentist will note the bonding in your chart for future reference. During your subsequent check-ups, the dentist will monitor the bonded tooth to ensure its longevity and condition.

Cost Of A Dental Bonding

The cost of dental bonding can vary based on individual needs and the extent of the work required. As a general guideline, the price ranges from $300 to $600 per tooth without insurance coverage. Fortunately, many insurance plans cover dental bonding, especially when it’s used to repair a broken or damaged tooth. With insurance, you can expect out-of-pocket expenses to range from $60 to $120.

When evaluating the cost of dental bonding, we consider factors such as:
  • The number of teeth that require bonding
  • The need for any X-rays
  • The amount of composite resin required
  • The location of the affected teeth
  • Your overall oral health

By assessing these factors, we provide you with an accurate cost estimate tailored to your specific treatment plan. If you’re unsure about the costs and need more information, a Dentist Burnaby locals trust can provide a detailed consultation to guide you.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

I first met Dr. Ken at Maple Ridge Dental Valley, and from the very beginning, I knew I was in the best hands. His genuine care, attention to detail, and deep concern for my dental health have always stood out. When he moved his practice to Burnaby, and we moved from Maple Ridge to Abbotsford, there was no question in my mind—I would follow him wherever he went. Trust like this is rare, and I’m so grateful to have found a dentist who truly cares not just for my teeth, but for me as a person. What makes Dr. Ken even more exceptional is how much he understands and respects his patients’ financial situations. He takes the time to explain every option, never pushes unnecessary treatments, and gives honest advice about what can wait and what needs attention now. He helps you plan realistically without pressure, which shows he cares more about your well-being than just filling his own pocket. That kind of integrity is rare—and it means everything. 🥰🙏

Exceptional and professional service! As an adult, I still have a fear of the dentist LOL, but Charm Dental completely changed my perspective. I had a permanent tooth removed here, and to my surprise, I felt no pain at all during the procedure. The staff even followed up the next day to check on my recovery, which I really appreciated. Truly a 5-star experience!

This is the most professional dental clinic I’ve ever been to, and they do an amazing job of explaining everything in a way that patients can easily understand. At most dental offices, the explanations are often too brief—you’re told where the problem is and that it needs to be treated, but you’re left unsure about what’s really going on with your teeth. However, at this clinic, the doctor takes the time to thoroughly explain everything from why the issue is happening to how they plan to treat it, making it so much easier to trust the process. I was treated by Dr. Christabelle, and not only was she incredibly kind, but you can also tell just how skilled she is the moment you receive treatment. My husband also had his wisdom tooth removed here, and he was extremely satisfied—he even said he’s glad we found such a great dental clinic! 😆 The receptionists are always friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. Plus, their equipment is top-notch and up-to-date, which adds to the trustworthiness of their care. Highly recommend this place! 😊👏

This is the best dental service I have ever received in Canada. Dr. Ken is very professional, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I did my fillings and Invisalign treatment with him, and I was extremely satisfied with both the process and the results. The clinic’s facility is new, spacious, and clean, equipped with the latest updated technology. The front desk staff are very helpful and always do their best to schedule appointments that fit my schedule. Even though I moved to the East, Dr. Ken and his team are always willing to assist me with any concerns I have. Their dedication and exceptional service make every visit a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for professional and caring dental care!

The facilities are excellent—modern and clean—and all the staff were welcoming and professional. Truly the best dentist in Burnaby for families! Highly recommend!
