If the problem is small and mostly cosmetic tooth bonding is often a choice. The dentist adds tooth-coloured composite to the edge. Shapes it so the tooth looks more even. Usually little natural enamel needs to be removed which is one reason tooth bonding gets so much appeal.<\/p>\r\n
Bonding also feels less intimidating than some cosmetic treatments. You walk in with one little detail about your smile. Then often you walk out without noticing that tooth anymore.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A small chip at the edge is often a situation especially when the rest of the tooth is sound.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Heavy grinding matters too. If you regularly clench or grind your teeth at night the added bonding takes punishment and that can shorten its life.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Sometimes the issue goes deeper than the edge. A tooth with an old filling may need a different approach. Severe damage may also call for treatment that offers support.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022. Then there is bite. If your upper and lower teeth hit directly against the bonded area the bonding has a job. Your dentist should check how your teeth meet before deciding that bonding is suitable.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Coffee can gradually affect the surface although good polishing helps keep the finish looking fresh.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A smooth polished result feels natural once you are used to it but small chips still happen.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Maintenance is not complicated. Your normal dental checks still. Your dentist can polish or repair the composite if needed.<\/p>\r\n
If you have one tooth with a minor cosmetic issue composite edge bonding is worth discussing with a dentist. Composite edge bonding works well when you want a conservative change rather than a major makeover.<\/p>\r\n
