Composite bonding means putting tooth-coloured resin on the edge or surface of a tooth and shaping it to make it look better. The dentist usually gets the tooth ready first then adds the material. Hardens it with a special light.<\/p>\r\n
You usually don’t need a needle for bonding. That makes the whole process feel faster than some dental work. You will still feel pressure and movement as the dentist shapes the material though.<\/p>\r\n
If you use a retainer your dentist will check how it fits around the tooth that has been bonded. This is important because even a small change in the shape of the tooth can change how the retainer sits.<\/p>\r\n
With a fixed retainer things are a bit different because a thin wire is attached behind the teeth. Your dentist has to be careful around it. This can make the appointment feel more tricky. It doesn’t mean it will hurt.<\/p>\r\n
Most people feel some sensitivity rather than real pain. Your teeth might react to drinks for a short time. Your gums can also feel a sore if they were touched during the process.<\/p>\r\n
Honestly the strange feeling is sometimes more obvious than the pain. Your tongue keeps checking the edge because it knows something is different. After a while you stop thinking about it.<\/p>\r\n
Your dentist will tell you when you can eat normally depending on the material and the treatment. Composite is hardened during the appointment so you are not walking around with some piece on your tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Feeling a little sensitive for a time is quite common especially with cold food or drinks.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A tight retainer isn’t always a problem. Sharp pressure on the bonded area should be checked quickly.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Fixed retainers can make the dentists work more complicated. The treatment itself should not suddenly hurt.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Your bite is also important. If the new bonding feels like it hits first when you close your mouth let the dentist know.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 The feeling that something is stuck on your tooth usually goes away once your mouth gets used to the shape.<\/p>\r\n
The bonding itself isn’t something you should be afraid of. The main thing is making sure the retainer still fits well after the tooth has been changed. If it doesn’t the solution isn’t to deal with it.<\/p>\r\n
If you are already worried about dental pain tell your dentist before they start. They can explain what you will feel and stop if something hurts. You don’t get points for sitting there quietly.<\/p>\r\n
