If you bond your six front teeth, the main risks are canine guidance wear, heavy maintenance demands, and gradual surface dulling. At our London practice Envy Smile Dental, composite resin transforms your six front teeth without any drilling into healthy bone or enamel.
Why does bonding six teeth demand regular maintenance?
Cost and preservation. Porcelains need your outer enamel pared back with burs. Composite works in reverse: we just rebuild what broke. But covering all six social teeth from canine to canine means daily chewing friction slowly reduces surface gloss. I clean the surfaces, 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 six front teeth require numbing injections?
No needle required. Enamel has no nerve fibres inside, so you sit back comfortably without injections.
Q: Is composite bonding reversible on six front teeth?
Yes. Because we keep your sound enamel intact, you can revert or upgrade to porcelain anytime.
