Tooth Bonding Results for Lower Teeth: What London Patients Need to Know
Look in the mirror and you might notice your bottom teeth take quite a beating over the years. Maybe you chipped a lower incisor biting into an olive pit, or perhaps years of night-time grinding left the biting edges jagged and flat.
Here is the mechanical challenge: every time you chew lunch or close your mouth, your lower teeth strike right against the back surfaces of your upper front teeth. That shearing impact puts continuous stress on the tips. On top of that, bottom incisors are tiny, skinny pegs of enamel, giving the dentist very little surface area to anchor the resin onto.
As for lifespan, expect around 4 to 6 years. Because saliva sits heavily beneath your tongue, hard tartar collects on the back of lower teeth quicker than anywhere else in your mouth. Regular hygiene appointments at our Shepherd’s Bush practice keep the resin margins clean.
If you grind your teeth under stress, wearing a nightguard is non-negotiable if you want the bonding to last.
