Edge bonding in Cork
Edge bonding costs €150 to €180 a tooth in Cork, at the two clinics that publish a separate price for it. At both it is cheaper than covering the whole tooth.
Edge bonding (also called composite edge bonding or incisal edge bonding) adds resin to the biting edge only. Like all bonding in Ireland, it has to be done by a registered dentist (Dentists Act 1985).

How this is worked out
We take every Cork clinic that publishes a per-tooth price, then use the middle (median) of their lowest prices and the middle of their highest prices, times the number of teeth. Where a clinic gives one price, that price counts as both. Edge bonding uses the 2 clinics that price it separately. It is an estimate from published prices, not a quote: your dentist sets the price after looking at your teeth.
When edge bonding is enough
Edge bonding covers small chips and worn or uneven biting edges. White Smile Dental describes its €150 incisal edge bonding as "minor chip repairs, edge reshaping", partial bonding at €200 as covering specific areas or closing a gap, and full bonding at €250 as reshaping and covering the whole tooth (White Smile Dental). A colour change or a new shape usually needs the whole front covered. Your dentist makes the call after an exam.
Full bonding prices across Cork are on the cost page; chips are covered in chipped tooth repair.

Questions people ask
How much is edge bonding in Cork?

What is edge bonding?
Edge bonding (incisal edge bonding) builds up only the biting edge of a tooth with composite resin, for chips and worn or uneven edges. Full bonding covers the whole front of the tooth. A dentist decides which one your teeth need.
Can I get tax relief on edge bonding?
Smiles by Grace marks its edge bonding as eligible for 20% tax relief (Smiles by Grace). Revenue's list of non-routine treatment includes "veneers or Rembrandt type etched fillings" (Revenue). Ask your clinic whether it will sign a Med 2.
