Frequently Asked
Questions

This section will provide detailed responses to the most common inquiries about our dental services and procedures. Our goal is to offer insightful, professional guidance to assist you in making informed decisions about getting your teeth bonded.

The dental bonding procedure involves several steps, and each is vital for a successful treatment:

  • Preparation:
    The dentist prepares the tooth’s surface. This usually involves roughening the surface slightly so the bonding material adheres properly. This step is crucial for a strong bond.
  • Application:
    The dentist then applies the composite resin bonding material to the tooth. This material is moldable, allowing for precise shaping and fitting to the tooth’s contours.
  • Shaping and Sculpting:
    After application, the dentist meticulously shapes and sculpts the resin. This step is essential for achieving an aesthetically pleasing and harmonious result with the surrounding teeth.
  • Curing:
    The resin is then hardened using a special light. This process, called curing, solidifies the material, integrating it firmly with the tooth.
  • Finishing Touches:
    Finally, any additional shaping and polishing are done so that the bonded area blends seamlessly with the natural tooth.


Each tooth requires about 30 to 60 minutes. The exact time depends on the complexity of the case and the specific tooth structure. Your dentist can provide a more accurate time estimate during your consultation. You can schedule a consultation with our dental clinic to learn more about the procedure

Post-care treatment helps in the longevity and effectiveness of the procedure. By following these simple guidelines, you can keep your bonded teeth looking good and strong.

  1. Routine Dental Hygiene:
    Regular brushing and flossing are fundamental to maintaining oral health and a preventative measure against tooth decay. Brushing your teeth twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste is advised. This also avoids plaque build-up around the bonding site.

  2. Avoid Chewing Hard Foods:
    Teeth bonding materials are durable but can still be susceptible to chipping or breaking when exposed to excessive force. Avoid biting into hard foods or objects like ice cubes, candies, or pens.

  3. Limit Stain-Inducing Foods and Beverages:
    Bonding material can stain over time. To retain the colour of the bonded area, limit the intake of tea, coffee,
    and red wine. Additionally, avoid dark berries such as blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, known for their strong pigments. If you consume them, rinse your mouth with water afterwards.
  4. Refrain from Smoking:
    Tobacco can stain both natural teeth and bonding material. To maintain the colour of bonded teeth, abstain from smoking or using tobacco products.

  5. Regular check-ups:
    Schedule appointments regularly with your dentist. This allows for early detection of any issues with the bonding. It’s generally recommended to visit your dentist every six months.

  6. Protect Your Teeth:
    Wear a mouthguard if you participate in contact sports or recreational activities. This helps prevent trauma to the bonded area.

  7. Avoid Nail Biting and Teeth Grinding:
    Habits such as nail biting or teeth grinding (known as bruxism) can put undue stress on the bonding material. If you’re aware of a grinding habit, it’s worth discussing options with your dentist, such as a nightguard.


Maintaining composite bonding is not different from caring for your natural teeth. By adopting these simple measures and being mindful of potential risks, you can enjoy the benefits of the procedure for a long time. An experienced dentist at Sage Dental will guide and help preserve the longevity of your bonding treatment.

The lifespan of dental bonding can vary depending on several factors, including the tooth structure and how well it is maintained. Generally, dental bonding can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or even longer with proper care. However, tooth bonding is not as durable as some other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers or crowns.

 

Based on your individual case and oral care habits, your dentist can provide more specific guidance on how long you can expect your teeth bonding to last.

Over time, composite bonding can undergo changes. Here are some key points:

  1. Surface Wear:
    Dental bonding may experience surface wear over time, especially if you have habits like teeth grinding or use your teeth for non-standard functions. This wear can lead to a less smooth and polished appearance.

  2. Staining:
    Bonding material can accumulate surface stains, potentially impacting the overall appearance of your smile. Avoiding staining substances and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent this issue.

  3. Chipping or Breakage:
    In some cases, bonding may chip or break, particularly if it’s exposed to excessive force or trauma. This can be addressed with replacement.

  4. Discolouration:
    The colour of the bonding material may change slightly or become less vibrant as time goes on. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor and address any discolouration concerns. 


Dental bonding is a preferred treatment option for many cosmetic concerns but may require ongoing care and maintenance. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of your bonding and address any issues promptly. 

While composite bonding can enhance the appearance of your teeth, it does not provide protection against tooth decay. The lack of proper dental hygiene practices can result in decay underneath the bonding material. 

 

Maintaining good dental health practices, such as regular brushing, flossing, and attending dental check-ups, is crucial to prevent decay from occurring under the bonded tooth. Additionally, your dentist will monitor the health of your bonded teeth during routine check-ups to detect and address any issues promptly.

The cost of dental bonding can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the number of teeth involved, and the geographic location of the dental clinic. 

 

Generally, dental bonding is a relatively affordable cosmetic dental procedure compared to alternatives like veneers or crowns.

On average, the cost of dental bonding per tooth can range from $300 to $600. However, note that prices can differ based on the extent of the bonding required and the dentist’s experience. For instance, bonding used to fill a small chip will generally be less expensive than bonding applied to reshape an entire tooth. 

 

Moreover, a skilled dentist may charge a higher rate due to their experience, which can influence the overall cost of the procedure. However, the durability and quality of the bonding could offer better long-term value.

 

To get a precise estimate, reach out to us at Sage Dental. Our team of dentists can provide a detailed assessment based on your specific needs and give you an accurate cost breakdown.

Whether tooth bonding is covered by health funds depends on your specific policy and the nature of the procedure. Here are some key considerations:

Policy Details

The extent to which tooth bonding is covered varies among different health funds. It’s important to review your policy or contact your health fund provider for specific information.

Cosmetic vs. Restorative Bonding

Health funds are more likely to cover tooth bonding if it’s classified as restorative rather than purely cosmetic. 

  • Bonding procedures that restore tooth functionality are often more likely to receive cover. This includes addressing chips affecting chewing or preventing further decay. 
  • Procedures aimed solely at improving the appearance of a healthy tooth might not be covered. 

To determine whether the cost of dental bonding is covered within your dental plan’s policy, we suggest reaching out to your provider for clarification. 


If you have any questions or want to explore the cost of dental bonding, consult with our professional team at Sage Dental.
We’ll be delighted to assist you in understanding the specifics of your treatment and any potential financial considerations.

Yes, dental bonding is an effective option for addressing chipped or broken teeth. Dental bonding involves the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin to the damaged tooth. It is then shaped and polished to restore its natural appearance and functionality. This cosmetic procedure is particularly well-suited for repairing minor to moderate tooth damage. 

No, bonded teeth cannot be whitened in the same way as natural teeth. Dental bonding material does not respond to traditional whitening agents like natural tooth enamel. If you want to whiten bonded teeth, the bonding material itself would need to be replaced. 

 

It’s often recommended to whiten your natural teeth to the desired shade before undergoing teeth bonding so that the material can be matched to the new colour of your teeth. Consult with your dentist for the most suitable approach if you’ve already had bonding done and are considering whitening.

The frequency with which a tooth can be bonded depends on several factors. Here’s a comprehensive look at the aspects involved:

  • Structural Integrity of the Tooth:
    A tooth can be bonded multiple times, provided there is enough healthy tooth structure remaining to bond to. Each bonding application slightly alters the tooth’s structure.
  • Condition of Previous Bondings:
    Over time, the bonding material may wear down or become discoloured. These changes can necessitate rebonding.
  • Impact on Tooth Strength:
    Repeated bonding procedures may gradually weaken the tooth. This is due to the fact that a small amount of enamel might be removed or altered with each bonding.
  • Alternative Treatments:
    If a tooth becomes too weakened after multiple bondings, more comprehensive treatments like crowns might be necessary. Crowns provide strength and structure to significantly weakened teeth.
  • Regular Dental Assessments:
    It’s important to have regular dental check-ups. During these visits, the dentist can assess the condition of the bonded tooth and advise if rebonding is suitable. They may also recommend alternative treatments if needed.
  • Individual Case Variations:
    The exact number of times a tooth can be bonded varies from person to person. It depends on individual dental health and the specific requirements of their teeth.


While there isn’t a strict limit to the number of times a tooth can be bonded, the decision to rebond should be made carefully. The tooth’s overall health and structural integrity must be considered. Also, regular consultations with a dentist at Sage Dental are crucial in making these decisions.
