The dentist usually prepares the tooth surface so the bonding material sticks properly. This involves very little removal of natural tooth structure. Then the composite is placed and shaped around the uneven edge before being hardened with a curing light.<\/p>\r\n
And honestly, the light itself isn’t the uncomfortable part. The strange bit is simply having someone work around your front teeth while you keep your mouth open.<\/p>\r\n
Usually, very little preparation is needed for cosmetic edge bonding. That’s one reason I think it’s a particularly sensible option for mildly uneven teeth. You aren’t committing to having large amounts of healthy enamel removed just to make the edges look straighter.<\/p>\r\n
If the tooth needs more extensive reshaping, your dentist will explain what needs to be done first. The amount of preparation depends on why the tooth looks uneven.<\/p>\r\n
You may notice some sensitivity for a short while. Cold drinks can feel slightly sharper than usual, and your bite might feel different until you get used to the new shape.<\/p>\r\n
Usually, though, that feeling settles quickly. You stop noticing it.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A sensitive tooth can react more strongly, especially if you’ve already noticed discomfort with cold drinks.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Your bite may feel strange at first, and that usually becomes less noticeable as you get used to the new edge.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 If the tooth is already damaged underneath, the bonding itself isn’t necessarily the reason you’re hurting.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A high spot on the new bonding can make your bite feel awkward. That is usually easy for a dentist to check and adjust.<\/p>\r\n
Tell your dentist. Seriously. There’s no prize for sitting there pretending you’re completely relaxed when you’re gripping the chair.<\/p>\r\n
The procedure itself is generally quick, and because composite edge bonding is usually minimally invasive, it feels quite different from treatments that involve deeper drilling. For uneven front teeth, I prefer the idea of preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.<\/p>\r\n
For most people, composite edge bonding for uneven teeth feels more like a strange dental appointment than a painful one. You may notice pressure or temporary sensitivity, but significant pain isn’t normal.<\/p>\r\n
And if you’re expecting the whole thing to involve drilling away your tooth, that picture is probably much worse than reality. The dentist is mainly adding and shaping material to improve the edge.
