What is the Cost of Dental Bonding?

 

Dental bonding is a relatively budget-friendly way to restore a damaged smile. The cost of dental bonding depends on how many teeth require treatment – more on that in a bit. In the meantime, here’s what you need to know about dental bonding:

 

 

When Do I Need Dental Bonding?

Bonding is a common fix for a range of dental issues, including:

• Tooth decay
• Chips and cracks
• Exposed roots from receded gums

 

The material used in dental bonding is tooth-colored, so in some cases, dental bonding is a cosmetic treatment – it can hide chips and irregularities or make teeth look longer and straighter. In other cases, it’s used as a protective treatment, to make teeth stronger and cover exposed roots.

 

 

How to Avoid the Need for Dental Bonding

There’s no substitute for healthy dental hygiene habits. You can help keep your child’s teeth healthy by encouraging:

• Regular brushing and flossing.
• Routine checkups with a dentist.
• The use of a mouthguard while playing sports.

 

And by discouraging:

• Indulging in sugary snacks and drinks.
• Chewing on non-food items like pencils, ice, and fingernails.

 

 

How Much Does Dental Bonding Cost?

A variety of factors can affect the cost of dental bonding. Kool Smiles Kids Club has partner dentists across the country who are committed to providing high-quality, affordable dental care for all children.

 

Many insurance providers will cover all or part of the cost of bonding, especially if it’s done to fill a cavity or improve a tooth’s strength. Kool Smiles’ partner dentists accept most types of insurance, including Medicaid, TRICARE, and CHIP (formerly SCHIP).
