The tooth bonding cost depends on how big a restoration is and what type of restoration it is. A routine composite filling that is placed in a back tooth can have different sizes. Dentists think of a tooth crown like a box. A box has a top, four sides and a bottom. The top of the tooth is called the occlusal surface. Fillings that only involve the occlusal surface usually run between $ 125 and $ 195. As a filling gets bigger it involves two sides or two surfaces. Because two surface fillings are bigger and take more time, the fee is greater. They run from $ 175 to $ $ 250.00.
The tooth bonding cost for three or four surface fillings is much greater because these restorations are more involved. Typically a three surface dental composite runs from $ 195 to $ 280. A four surface composite fee runs from $ 220 to $ 380. These are very big fillings. The fee for closing gaps between teeth varies but runs between $ 350 and $ 500. These are very difficult restorations because they have to look like the natural teeth and ideally they should blend into the smile without being seen. This takes time and special materials.
The tooth bonding cost for direct composite veneers is between 50 % to 80 % of what a dentist normally charges for a dental crown. Composite veneers that are crafted directly in the mouth are one of the greatest aesthetic challenges that a cosmetic dentist has. They have to be shaped like the natural teeth and the color must naturally blend with the other teeth. They are a great alternative to porcelain veneers when a patient's money is limited or when the patient and dentist want to test out a specific type of smile without cutting the teeth down.
