Yes composite edge bonding is generally safe for teeth when the tooth underneath is healthy and a dentist places the material properly. It is a conservative treatment because composite is added to the tooth rather than cutting away large amounts of enamel.<\/p>\r\n
Uneven doesn’t always mean misaligned. One tooth might look shorter than the one beside it. Another could have an irregular edge. You may simply notice that your front teeth don’t follow the line when you smile.<\/p>\r\n
Composite bonding works best when the unevenness is mainly about the shape or length of the tooth. The dentist applies tooth-coloured composite. Carefully shapes it so the edge blends into your smile.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Healthy tooth underneath is important because bonding shouldn’t be used to hide dental problems.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A light touch is usually enough for unevenness and thats where composite makes the most sense.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 If you grind your teeth at night tell your dentist. Constant pressure can make the material chip sooner which is rather annoying after you’ve just paid for it.<\/p>\r\n
The appointment is usually straightforward. Your dentist prepares the tooth surface so the composite can stick properly. Then the material is. Shaped before being hardened with a special light.<\/p>\r\n
After that the dentist checks your bite. Smooths the bonded edge. Because the material is shaped directly on the tooth small adjustments are possible without turning the appointment into a project.<\/p>\r\n
Placed bonding shouldn’t damage a healthy tooth. In fact one reason people choose it is because theres less removal of natural tooth structure than with treatments that require significant reshaping.<\/p>\r\n
There is a catch. Composite isn’t indestructible. Biting objects or using the bonded tooth to open packaging is a bad idea even if the bonding feels completely solid.<\/p>\r\n
If the teeth are significantly crooked or the uneven appearance comes from their position than their shape bonding won’t magically straighten them. It changes the surface. It doesn’t move the tooth.<\/p>\r\n
So a dentist may suggest treatment when the underlying alignment needs correcting. For a cosmetic difference though composite bonding can be a sensible option.<\/p>\r\n
