Who it suits

Who it suits

Already straight teeth

Edge bonding works best when teeth are aligned. The treatment refines and finishes the smile rather than correcting position.

Worn or uneven edges

It suits teeth with worn or chipped edges, or front teeth that are slightly different lengths.

Post-aligner finishing

Many aligner patients have edge bonding at the end of treatment to tidy up the shape once the teeth are straight.

Can be undone

There is usually no drilling, so the bonding can be polished off later if you change your mind.

What to expect

What to expect with edge bonding

We start with a short consult to look at the edges you want to change and check your teeth are healthy.

In most cases it is done in a single visit with little or no drilling. We add tooth coloured material to the edges and shape it to look natural.

We polish everything to a smooth finish and check your bite before you leave.

Edge bonding FAQs

How much does edge bonding cost?

Edge bonding starts from $400 per tooth. Most people have four to six teeth done. The cosmetic consultation is free, and we confirm the exact fee before we start.

Does it hurt?

Usually not. Most cases need no drilling and no anaesthetic.

How long does it last?

Usually five to eight years before it needs a touch-up. Avoid biting nails or opening things with your teeth.

Is it reversible?

In most cases, yes. No tooth is removed, so the bonding can be polished off.

Usually one to two hours for four to six teeth, plus a short review visit. More teeth may need more appointments.

How long is the appointment?

Who is a good candidate?

People with straight or recently straightened teeth who want to fix worn, chipped or uneven edges. It is often done after aligner treatment.
