Reshaping is the simpler part. Your dentist gently removes a very small amount of enamel to change the tooth\u2019s outline. It\u2019s often used when an edge looks too sharp or one tooth seems a little longer than the one beside it.<\/p>\r\n
Bonding adds material instead of removing it. A tooth-colored resin is placed on the tooth and shaped so it fills a small chip or changes the appearance of the edge. The dentist then hardens it and polishes the surface.<\/p>\r\n
It\u2019s surprisingly precise. The resin can be shaped right where it needs to go, which is why bonding works especially well for small cosmetic changes on front teeth.<\/p>\r\n
Sometimes reshaping alone gets the job done. Sometimes the tooth needs a little added height or width too. Using both lets the dentist make a small adjustment in each direction rather than asking one method to do all the work.<\/p>\r\n
That matters when you want your smile to still look like your smile. You don’t want someone staring at your teeth and wondering what changed.<\/p>\r\n
Usually, the process is pretty straightforward. Reshaping may not need numbing when only a tiny amount of enamel is removed. Bonding is also generally comfortable, although your dentist will decide what you need based on the tooth and the treatment.<\/p>\r\n
Bonding isn’t indestructible. The material can chip or wear over time, especially if you bite hard objects or use your front teeth for jobs they weren’t designed to do.
