If your two central front teeth have chipped corners or an awkward gap, you might wonder whether composite bonding can sort them out without expensive crowns. Patients frequently ask our cosmetic team at Envy Smile Dental whether they can fix their two front teeth in an afternoon.
We call this central incisor bonding. We don’t shave your enamel down. You walk out after about forty-five minutes with composite resin layered along the chipped edges, restoring symmetry across your two front teeth without the wait of laboratory veneers.
Key Clinical Summary
In our clinic at 3 Goldhawk Road in London and talking with people who travel down to see us from Manchester the number one benefit is that bonding preserves your natural teeth.
Plaque also settles easily along the central gumline. You have to thread floss right down into that crevice every single night, or tea and red wine will leave a dirty brown line right along the bond. An electric brush helps, but an interdental stick does the real work.
Beyond that, leave plastic tags alone. Don’t crack pistachios open with your front teeth. A basic night splint will sort out any grinding while you sleep.
Our clinical advice is simple: whiten your real enamel before having bonding placed. Dental resin never changes colour with bleaching gel, so getting your natural teeth to your target shade first ensures a seamless match.
