Your bite can feel slightly different after the procedure. That doesn&#8217;t automatically mean something is wrong.

Just be gentle if the gum around the tooth feels a little irritated.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022 Hard or very crunchy foods are worth avoiding for a bit if the tooth feels tender. There isn&#8217;t much benefit in pushing it.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What Does Recovery Feel Like?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Honestly, tooth reshaping recovery often feels quicker than people expect. You may notice the tooth immediately after treatment because your tongue keeps finding the new edge. By the next day, though, it can already feel like it belongs there.<\/p>\r\n<h3>When Should Sensitivity Go Away?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Mild sensitivity usually settles quickly. If it lasts longer than expected or becomes stronger instead of easing, tell your dentist. Persistent pain deserves attention because reshaping shouldn&#8217;t leave you dealing with ongoing discomfort.<\/p>\r\n<h2>When Is Recovery Complete?<\/h2>\r\n<p>For a straightforward tooth reshaping procedure, recovery is often measured in hours or a few days rather than weeks. Once sensitivity has disappeared and your bite feels natural again, you&#8217;re essentially back to normal.<\/p>\r\n<p>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Long Does Tooth Reshaping Take to Heal?
