What affects the price
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin, shaped and hardened right onto your tooth in a single visit. The cost depends on how many teeth you're treating and how much of each tooth needs work — a small chip costs far less than reshaping a whole front tooth.
Because there's usually no lab work or numbing needed for minor cases, bonding is often the quickest and least expensive cosmetic fix. You'll get a clear estimate before we start.

Bonding is affordable, fast, and reversible, which makes it great for small cosmetic touch-ups. Porcelain veneers cost more but last longer and resist stains better, so they're often the choice for a full smile makeover. In your consultation we'll show you both options honestly and help you pick based on your goals and budget — and you can spread payments with CareCredit financing or save with our $250/year membership plan.
