Is Resin On Teeth Worth It?

If you are wondering whether getting resin on your teeth is worth it, here is the honest answer from our surgery chair.

For most people, yes, it is hands down the best value smile upgrade you can get.

A lot of patients come into Northlane Dental thinking they need porcelain veneers to fix chipped corners or gaps. But veneers cost a fortune usually £600 to £1,100 for each tooth and require your dentist to shave away healthy enamel. Once that enamel is drilled off, there is no going back; you are committed to having veneers for life.

Why Patients at Northlane Dental Choose Resin?

Cosmetic resin costs around £150 to £350 a tooth. We avoid touching healthy enamel with burs, and you won’t even need a needle. We place soft composite paste, sculpt it freehand to even out your bite, and harden it using our ultraviolet wand. You walk out forty-five minutes later with a brand-new smile.

Best of all, if you ever change your mind years down the line, a dentist can gently polish the resin off, leaving your original natural tooth completely unharmed. It provides an immediate confidence boost without breaking your savings account.

Sensible Advice From Our Team

• Do any tooth bleaching prior to treatment, as cured resin never changes shade.
• Swish some water in your mouth after having dark coffee or tea so the edges stay clean.
• Try not to crack pork crackling or unpopped corn with bonded teeth.
