Worn Down Teeth from Grinding
At any cost....Attempting to repair WORN DOWN FRONT TEETH with any material at all before addressing the UNDERLYING PROBLEMS will leave you very disappointed when you continue to break it off. In all likelihood you have other issues that can range from bite problems to airway issues and more. It is not a simple fix. If you don't want to keep redoing the dentistry over and over find a dentist that can help you get to the bottom of what is really going on.

Tooth grinding repair
Bonding tooth colored composite to lengthen worn down front teeth is not a predictable treatment option as the forces generated to wear down the teeth will also break the bonding. It is important to figure out why grinding exists. For example patients with obstructive sleep apnea often experience tooth grinding. Treat the cause of the grinding and then reconsider tooth bonding.

Grinding & Bonding
If grinding has damaged your natural teeth imagine what your grinding will do to the bonding material, it will probably not last. The best solution to correct teeth due to grinding are veneers it's much stronger than bonding material not porous so it won't discolor & it's an all porcelain material, once you've completed treatment you should also have an occlusal guard made not only to protect your new veneers but also to protect the rest of your teeth. The occlusal guard...

Dental bonding to repair worn out teeth from grinding
Unfortunately bonding your teeth if the grinding is not under control it would be too expensive no matter the price quote because it will not last.
Asses your grinding habit, put it under control then do a trial bonding for 2 months and if it lasts then you can move onto a more esthetic choice like porcelain
In NYC you would be paying about 500 per tooth for the bonding and another 500 to 1000 + for a night guard and bruxism (grinding) evaluation

Cost of bonding and worn down teeth
It is possible to restored many worn down mouths with bonding. The most important issue is why is the grinding occurring? A thorough diagnosis and treatment plan that properly repositions the teeth in harmony with the bones, muscles, and joints will result in success of whatever material is chosen. Bonding generally costs about half of a the cost of a crown, so fees range $500 - $1500 per tooth.

Damage is done but there are options to prevent
Damage caused by grinding usually can not be repaired by bonding. The force of grinding which damaged your teeth initially will exceed the strength of bonding. With out an exam or photos a “worn dentition” can only be repaired with porcelain and a nightguard.

Bonding may not be the solution
If your grinding was severe enough to wear away your enamel the composite/ tooth colored plastic we add to teeth will be chipped or worn away quickly. It would be wise to have a dentist evaluate your bite and try to stop the grinding or control it to protect your teeth. Once corrected then the teeth can be restored to proper function.

Stop the grinding before you fix the teeth!
I think you have a problem you need to work on and than fix the teeth. Most people grind their teeth but there is not significant damage. Others clench and grind and cause tremendous damage to their teeth. You did not say how significant the damage was, but I would discuss with your dentist, a splint or a bite guard or something we use in our office called the Best Bite Discluder. It is inexpensive and will let you know right away if your bite is off and that is why you are grinding. If...

Bonding won't be enough
If you have gound down your teeth, the soft plastic material used in bonding won't withstand the wear and tear that you generate. You would need a porcelain, metal or combination of the two to restore your teeth. This is a very complex process and most dentists will shy away from this level of care. This is often called a full mouth reconstruction, or sometimes just half (perhaps just the uppers) can be done.
Unless your worn teeth are only slightly worn, you should plan on a large...
