Dental Bonding
Improve Your Smile
Teeth bonding at Dousman Family Dentistry is done by using a tooth-colored resin bonded to the tooth to restore or improve your smile. The resin is hardened with a special light to secure the material to your tooth. It’s an alternative cosmetic procedure and can even be used as a restorative procedure for individuals who have more severe tooth decay.
Dental bonding is a great procedure for those who have discolored, chipped teeth or an uneven smile and tooth gaps. If you want to improve your smile affordably, Dousman Family Dentistry can help. Composite dental bonding can also be used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings.
To prepare you, the dentist will use a shade guide to match the color of your tooth with the composite resin. The bonding process begins with roughening the tooth surface and applying a conditioning liquid. This will help the bonding material stick to the tooth. The resin is applied, molded and smoothed onto the tooth for a natural and desired look. A bright light or laser is used to harden the material. Once hardened, the material will be trimmed, shaped and polished to match the rest of your teeth. Each tooth normally takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Speak to one of the dentists at Dousman to decide if this is the right cosmetic procedure for you.
Dental bonding per tooth costs on average $300-$600 in Wisconsin depending on whether the procedure is restorative or cosmetic. If your procedure is to fix a decayed tooth, it may be more costly to fix. Cosmetic dental bonding is a more effective option for minor corrections. Porcelain veneers or crowns may be a better option for extensive damage.
Whether your insurance covers dental composite bonding depends on whether it's for restorative or cosmetic purposes. If you’re having a gap filled, your insurance may not cover it. If dental bonding is necessary for the health of your teeth, your dental insurance may cover a portion of the costs. If you don’t have insurance, Dousman Family Dentistry offers affordable payment plans so you get dental care when you need it.
Since veneers are made from porcelain, they will normally cost more than composite tooth bonding. They may save you money in the long run because they are permanent. Veneers are good for covering stains while bonding works better for chips or gaps. Both are made to blend in with the natural color of your surrounding teeth, but veneers may darken over time. While veneers are more durable, dental bonding resin is also durable for repairing teeth. Talk to your dentist about which option is best for your desired smile.
I’ve been a long-time patient and continue to love it! Receptionists are friendly and helpful, hygienists are thorough and kind, and the dentists are great too. I stay because it’s great.
Really loved my experience with Dousman Family Dentistry for the last many many years. I am only transferring because we moved. We will miss you!
Everyone who works here is so kind! I have had a few visits and every single one has been a great experience. I live in East Troy and don't mind the travel time because I can't ask for a better place to go for dental care.
I have been going to Dr. Goral for 25 years. Excellent dentist, kept up with the latest. Listens to the patient. All receptionists, etc. are extremely nice. Jill is my hygienist. She is not only pleasant but efficient.
Dr. Schaeffer was the go-to guy for my family's teeth growing up. He put braces on my very crooked teeth when I was a pre-teen, and when my teeth reverted to their crooked ways, Dr. Schaeffer fixed them once again - this time with an expander and retainers. He is a miracle worker! I've had an expander followed by a retainer on my teeth for 9 months and the results are amazing! A genius in the world of teeth!
Our whole family goes here and they have been wonderful with our young children.
Had an emergency visit and was pleasantly surprised at the cost. Thank you for not price gouging during this pandemic! You guys are all great! Thank you for working during this time of craziness.
I had a great experience at Dousman Dental. I had two crowns put on the left side of my mouth and they decided to do them both at the same time which was great because it saved me a second trip. To be honest I never felt any pain and was as comfortable as could be under the circumstances. I would highly recommend them!
My wife and daughters have been going to Dr. Whalen for many years and I started going a year ago on my wife's recommendation. The staff are always very pleasant, it is an extremely clean facility and I feel very comfortable with trusting Dr. Whalen and his staff with my dental work. I would highly recommend Dousman Family Dentistry.
