Use our savings calculator below to find out.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is dental bonding?<\/span><\/h3>\nThis procedure utilizes a tooth-colored composite resin to restore chipped, cracked and sometimes even broken teeth. It can also be used to cover up discoloration or manage minor issues such as gaps between the teeth, or to lengthen a tooth that is shorter than others.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHow does dental bonding work?<\/span><\/h3>\nYour dentist will slightly roughen the surface of the tooth to enable the resin to adhere. He or she will then apply a liquid that will affix the bonding agent to the tooth. The composite resin is applied next, probably in several thin layers, which your dentist will mold into the desired shape. The resin material is then hardened by exposure to ultraviolet light.<\/span><\/p>\nDoes it last forever?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nThe bonding material can be damaged if you bite down into tough, dense or crunchy food or chew on ice, your fingernails or other hard substances. Otherwise, the restoration may typically last 5-10 years.<\/span><\/p>\nHow much does dental bonding cost?<\/span><\/h3>\nAbout $300-$600* per tooth, depending on the complexity of the repair.<\/span><\/p>\nDental Veneers<\/span><\/h2>\nBest for: changing the shade, shape and size of your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are dental veneers?<\/span><\/h3>\nVeneers are a celebrity smile\u2019s very best friend. These fingernail-thin overlays are custom-made to fit your natural teeth and can completely transform your smile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHow do dental veneers work?<\/span><\/h3>\nYour dentist or a cosmetic dental specialist will analyze your smile, figure out how to correct it and create a model of the veneers for you to try on. Your teeth may need to be reshaped to properly fit under the veneers.\u00a0 Bonding the veneers to your teeth requires roughing up the teeth\u2019s surface before applying the substance used for bonding the veneer to each tooth. Your dentist will then carefully place and permanently affix the veneer to the teeth. The entire process may take three or more visits to the dentist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDo dental veneers last forever?<\/span><\/h3>\nWhile veneers are quite strong, they can crack or shatter under abnormal pressure. You should avoid biting down on hard-surfaced items like pencils or nails and be very careful about eating food that is very crunchy, sticky or dense. If you tend to clench or grind your teeth, your dentist might suggest that you wear a bite guard at night. With care, veneers should last 10-15 years.<\/span><\/p>\nHow much do dental veneers cost?<\/span><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s the bad news – they typically start at an average of $1,000* per tooth.<\/span><\/p>\nWhitening<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Whitening\"](\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\")

Best for: getting a brighter smile.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is teeth whitening?<\/span><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a process that uses peroxide of various strengths to remove surface discoloration and make teeth whiter.\u00a0 You may be able to brighten your teeth by a shade or two using over-the-counter (OTC) products, but a professional whitening treatment typically provides more noticeable (and predictable!) results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHow does teeth whitening work?<\/span><\/h3>\nThere are three options to choose from:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- In Office: Your dentist applies a peroxide gel to your teeth, and then activates the solution via a high-intensity light. This takes about an hour, and depending on the condition of your teeth, the sensitivity of your gums, and your desired results you may need more than one appointment to complete the treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- At Home: Your dentist will custom-fit a set of \u201cwhitening trays,\u201d (flexible molds which you\u2019ll place over your teeth) or will provide you with a kit that contains the trays and a peroxide gel. The whitening product used is weaker than the one utilized in the dentist\u2019s office, but more powerful than an over-the-counter product. Typically, you\u2019ll wear the trays for 4-8 hours daily over the course of ten days.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Over-The-Counter: You can just choose a whitening kit or strips from the drugstore. These products use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to brighten your teeth. The products you purchase over the counter will be weaker than those that a dentist can use.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
