Think of tooth bonding as reshaping, not straightening. A dentist applies a resin to the tooth and shapes it into a more balanced form. Once the resin is hardened it\u2019s. Polished so it looks like part of the natural tooth. It blends in with the surrounding teeth.<\/p>\n
So if one front tooth leans a little or appears shorter than the others adding an amount of material in the right spot can help even out the look of the smile. This is a fix, which is why it\u2019s best for just minor changes.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A tilt or uneven edge especially on a front tooth is where bonding works best.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If the tooth has healthy structure, for the resin to hold properly the chances of success are much higher.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Severe crowding or misalignment requires an approach. Bonding won\u2019t move the tooth. It only changes its shape.<\/p>\n
The visit is usually simple. The dentist first examines the tooth. Determines how much reshaping is needed. The surface is. Roughened slightly so the resin sticks well. Then the composite material is. Shaped carefully. After hardening it\u2019s polished to match the look of the tooth.<\/p>\n
Yes it should. The resin is chosen to match your tooth color. It\u2019s shaped to follow the curves and lines of the tooth. Good bonding doesn\u2019t look like a blob stuck onto the front of the tooth. It looks like it belongs.<\/p>\n
Because only a little material is added the result can feel very subtle. At first you notice the change. Then you stop noticing it. That\u2019s when it\u2019s working well.<\/p>\n
Bonding is not permanent. It can. Wear over time. This is especially true if you use the bonded tooth to bite things or open packages. You wouldn\u2019t want to do that<\/p>\n
With care tooth bonding can last for years. Then it may need repair or replacement. Your dentist will also check how your teeth fit together. A bite that puts much pressure on the bonded tooth can shorten its life.<\/p>\n
