Tooth Bonding Recovery for Misshapen Teeth: What to Expect
A pointy canine that looks like a little fang, or a narrow lateral tooth that grew in flat, can make your entire smile look lopsided. Rather than grinding healthy enamel away for an aggressive crown, our dentists at Envy Smile use cosmetic bonding to hand-sculpt irregular teeth into a balanced contour in a single visit.
In our London practice, reshaping a misshapen tooth starts from £150 per tooth.
Once you leave our surgery, what is recovery actually like?
To put it plainly: there is virtually zero physical recovery. Because bonding preserves your virgin enamel, you won’t suffer from throbbing aches or swollen gums.
Your tongue has known the irregular shape of that tooth for decades. The second you leave our clinic, your tongue will flick over the new smooth contour and find it surprisingly unfamiliar or bulky. Don’t worry at all this sensory shock fades within twenty-four to forty-eight hours as your brain accepts the new tooth shape.
Stick to softer comfort meals like pasta, jacket potatoes, or soup for the first couple of days. Avoid biting straight into hard sourdough crusts or crisp apples with that front tooth, and let your back molars do the heavy chewing.
