You don’t need a change to your teeth to feel better about how you look when you smile. Sometimes just a little fix is all thats needed. Composite edge bonding is one of those fixes. A dentist adds a tooth-coloured material to change or fix part of a tooth makes sure it looks like the real thing.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A small chip or a rough edge especially on a front tooth is exactly the kind of problem that bonding can fix.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Small spaces between teeth can sometimes be filled with composite. The space still needs to fit with the shape and position of your teeth.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A bit of unevenness or wear on the edge of a tooth. Not a big problem, something you’ve noticed every time you look in the mirror.<\/p>\n
Here’s what invasive dentistry is all about. The main idea is to keep much of the real tooth as possible. That sounds simple. Its a way of thinking that changes how treatments are planned.<\/p>\n
Of cutting down a tooth right away for a filling or a cap your dentist checks if a smaller step can work. That step is bonding. Sometimes it means not doing anything all.<\/p>\n
Bonding has limits. If a tooth is badly broken, very worn or has an old filling another treatment could be a better choice. Your dentist also needs to look at your bite because pressure on a bonded edge can cause it to break.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you grind your teeth at night bonding needs to be thought about carefully especially if the part you’re fixing takes a lot of pressure.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Big changes are not the same as ones. Bonding is great for fixes but expecting it to fix a tooth that’s in bad shape is not realistic.<\/p>\n
Composite is strong. Its not unbreakable. Biting your nails or using your teeth to open things is not an idea for anyone and bonded teeth won’t be any different.<\/p>\n
The colour can also change over time. Stains on the surface are easier to deal with than stains so your dentist will look at the current shade before picking the right composite.<\/p>\n
The people who are most happy, with edge bonding are not always looking for a perfect super white smile. They want the tooth to look like their tooth, a little better.<\/p>\n
