If you plan to bond several teeth across your smile, the primary hazards are bite disharmony, premature chipping, and uneven discolouration over the years. At our London practice Envy Smile Dental, composite resin reshapes multiple teeth without any drilling into healthy bone or enamel.
Why do we urge caution before bonding multiple teeth?
Cost and preservation. Porcelains need your outer enamel pared back with burs. Composite works in reverse: we just rebuild what broke. But when treating four or six teeth together, if one edge sits high, your jaw knocks against it repeatedly. I clean the edges, dab on bonding glue, mould a tiny blob of resin against each 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does bonding multiple teeth require numbing injections?
No needle required. Enamel has no nerve fibres inside, so you sit back comfortably without injections.
Q: What if one resin edge chips later on?
A chipped resin patch takes twenty minutes to buff and touch up in the clinic.
