The trick is to start with teeth that’re fairly healthy. If your teeth are strong and your gums are in shape, composite bonding can be a good choice for small look changes. Composite bonding works well if you want the edges of your teeth to look a bit more even or if a small chip is bothering you.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Small chips are usually a case, especially when the tooth underneath is healthy.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A uneven edge can be fixed with composite but your bite still needs to be checked first.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Gaps can sometimes be reduced. The exact approach depends on the size of the gap and how your teeth fit together.<\/p>\r\n
Problems start when bonding is asked to do much. If you have untreated tooth decay, that needs to be treated. Active gum problems also need to be managed before treatment.<\/p>\r\n
If you regularly grind or clench your teeth especially while sleeping, composite on the edges can take a beating. Composite is strong. It is not indestructible. A dentist may suggest protecting the teeth at night or choosing another treatment if the forces on your teeth are too great.<\/p>\r\n
Composite has limits. Composite can improve shape and appearance. It will not completely change the position of badly crowded teeth. If you are hoping for a transformation orthodontic treatment or another approach may make more sense.<\/p>\r\n
Colour matters well. Composite can be. Matched closely but composite can pick up staining over time. So if you are expecting a perfect shade with no maintenance you will probably end up disappointed.<\/p>\r\n
Composite edge bonding works well if you want a cosmetic change and your teeth are healthy enough to support it. It also suits people who value a looking result and understand that composite will need care over time.<\/p>\r\n
If your teeth are badly damaged your bite puts pressure on the front teeth or you are expecting a complete smile transformation it is worth discussing other options with your dentist first.<\/p>\r\n
