If the edge of a tooth is chipped, uneven or a little shorter than you want composite edge bonding can be a simple way to fix it. In cases you don\u2019t need an injection at all. The dentist adds tooth-colored material to the edge shapes it carefully and then hardens it using a special light.<\/p>\n
The best people for composite edge bonding usually have teeth and gums. The problem is small and mostly cosmetic. The tooth is still mostly intact. If the change you want is minor bonding is a choice.<\/p>\n
– A small chip or worn edge especially if the tooth feels just fine otherwise.<\/p>\n
– You want a change in shape, not a big transformation of the whole tooth. This keeps the treatment conservative.<\/p>\n
– There\u2019s no decay or gum problem around the tooth. Those issues need to be treated<\/p>\n
– You don\u2019t grind your teeth a lot. If you do you\u2019re willing to wear a night guard if your dentist suggests it.<\/p>\n
– A small gap or uneven edge is annoying you. You\u2019re not looking for a full smile makeover.<\/p>\n
This is something people often wonder about. Composite edge bonding usually only involves the surface of the tooth. It doesn\u2019t require drilling into the tooth. So if there\u2019s no need to remove decay or get close to the sensitive inside of the tooth an injection is usually not needed.<\/p>\n
Bonding isn\u2019t the answer for every chipped tooth. A large fracture might need a kind of restoration. A tooth with decay must have the decay treated first. If there\u2019s serious damage inside the tooth your dentist needs to check that before considering bonding.<\/p>\n
Avoiding the needle isn’t the thing to consider. It’s easy to focus on not needing an injection especially if you’re nervous about shots.. The more important question is whether your tooth is healthy and whether the repair needed is small enough for bonding.<\/p>\n
If you have a chip, a slightly uneven edge or a minor shape problem, on a tooth that\u2019s otherwise healthy composite edge bonding without an injection could be a great option. The best candidates are people who need a repair not a full rebuild. Talk to your dentist to see if it\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n
