What does it cost to fix a chipped tooth?
The cost to fix a chipped tooth is between 1500 and 50k depending on the complexity of the task. A chipped tooth is simply missing some enamel and Deep Dental will repair the damage with a white composite filling material. If the repair is to a front tooth or can be seen when you smile, your dentist will likely use a procedure called bonding, which uses a tooth-colored composite resin. Bonding is a simple procedure that typically does not require numbing the tooth. To bond a tooth, the dentist first etches its surface with a liquid or gel to roughen it and make the bonding material stick to it. Next, the dentist applies an adhesive material to the tooth followed by a tooth-colored resin. After shaping the bonding material to look like a natural tooth, the dentist uses an ultraviolet light to harden the material. Patients will need to replace bonding about every five to ten years.
What are cosmetic dental braces?
Dental braces are considered cosmetic when they are more concealed or conversely deliberately accessorized. All orthodontic braces straighten crooked or misaligned teeth by applying continuous pressure over a period of time. The forces slowly move teeth in a specific direction. There are a number of different style cosmetic braces available and some use clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires so they’re less noticeable. Others adopt garish colours such as hot pink or powder blue, as the example to the left illustrates, to accessorize their dental devices. Clear aligners such as Invisalign or Illusion Aligners, Clear Correct are very discreet and can work to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues.

What are dental inlays and onlays?
Inlays and onlays, also called indirect fillings, are made from gold, porcelain, or composite materials and fill decayed or damaged teeth. Dental fillings are molded into place during an office visit; however, inlays and onlays are created in a dental laboratory and bonded into place by your dentist. The filling is called an “inlay” when the material is bonded within the center of a tooth; it is called an “onlay” when the filling includes one or more points of the tooth or covers the biting surface. Inlays and onlays preserve as much healthy tooth as possible and are alternatives to crowns.
