Bonding vs. Veneers
Dental Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin sculpted directly onto the tooth. No lab work needed. Completed in 30-60 minutes per tooth. Ideal for minor chips, small gaps, and subtle shape corrections. $200–$600 per tooth.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth. Requires two visits and lab fabrication. Best for dramatic transformations. Lasts 10-20 years. $800–$2,000 per tooth.
What Can Bonding Fix?
Dental bonding repairs chipped or cracked teeth, closes small gaps, reshapes uneven or short teeth, covers discoloration that whitening cannot correct, and protects exposed tooth roots from gum recession. It requires little to no enamel removal and usually needs no anesthesia.
Bonding Cost in Texas
Dental bonding typically costs between $200 and $600 per tooth without insurance, making it one of the most affordable cosmetic procedures. Some insurance plans cover bonding when it is restorative (e.g., repairing a chipped tooth). We offer Cherry and CareCredit financing.
