If you want to treat several teeth across your smile, porcelain veneers, orthodontic clear aligners, and crowns are common alternatives to bonding. At our London practice Envy Smile Dental, composite resin restores your tooth contour without any drilling into healthy bone or enamel.
Why do we recommend bonding over lab porcelain for multiple teeth?
Cost and preservation. Porcelains need your outer enamel pared back with burs. Composite works in reverse: we just rebuild what broke. We widen narrow borders and rebuild chipped corners across your whole smile. I clean the incisal border, dab on bonding glue, mould a tiny blob of resin against your tooth, click the cure light for twenty seconds, and buff it silky smooth.
Looking after your repaired edge:
Never snap sellotape using your teeth, keep clear of ice cubes, and use soft bristles. Anyone who clenches their jaw at night should definitely grab an occlusal guard to save the patch.
Our Clinical Recommendation
We suggest starting with composite bonding to save sound enamel, choosing porcelain only if you want ten years of stain resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does restoring multiple teeth require numbing injections?
No needle required. Enamel has no nerve fibres inside, so you sit back comfortably without injections.
Q: Can multiple bonded teeth be touched up easily?
Yes, any chipped or worn edge takes twenty minutes to buff and refresh in the clinic.
