Tooth Bonding Recovery for Broken Teeth: Timeline & Care Instructions
Breaking a chunk off a front tooth whether in a sports tackle, a slip on icy paving, or an unexpected collision is a nasty shock.
The great news is that you don’t always need an expensive crown.
Our team at Envy Smile can rebuild a broken tooth using tooth-coloured resin in just one visit.
So what does recovery look like after rebuilding a broken tooth with bonding?
Your gums around the repaired tooth might feel a bit tender for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. That’s simply from the dental bands and polishing tools we use to contour the base of the tooth cleanly.
A warm saltwater rinse twice a day will soothe the gum quickly.
Your tongue will also need twenty-four hours to get used to the tooth. When a tooth is broken, your tongue gets used to that empty gap.
Once the tooth is rebuilt to full size, it feels massive at first! Give it two days and your brain will completely forget it’s there.
With composite restorations starting from £150 per tooth at our London clinic, getting your smile back is quick and painless.
