Tooth bonding is usually a straightforward cosmetic dental treatment. A tooth-coloured resin is placed over the tooth. Hardened with a special light. You leave with the change already visible. Simple.<\/p>\n
Some people notice sensitivity after tooth bonding especially when drinking something. A sharp little twinge. Then it passes.<\/p>\n
This usually happens because the tooth has been prepared before the resin is applied. The sensation should settle as the tooth gets used to the treatment. If sensitivity sticks around or becomes painful though don’t just put up with it. Your dentist should check what’s happening.<\/p>\n
placed bonding shouldn’t leave you with ongoing tooth pain. You might feel tenderness around the treated area for a short while particularly if the bonding involved fixing a chipped tooth or changing its shape.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A small chip can happen, especially if you regularly bite foods with the bonded tooth.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Grinding your teeth at night is another problem. You may not even realise you’re doing it until the bonding starts looking worn.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The edge can feel slightly rough after a chip, which’s annoying because your tongue will keep finding it.<\/p>\n
Bonding can stain over time. The resin doesn’t resist colour in quite the way natural enamel does particularly around the edges where the material meets your tooth.<\/p>\n
Coffee is a culprit. So is smoking. If you have front teeth bonded even a small colour change can become noticeable when you smile.<\/p>\n
Your dentist may be able to polish the surface if the staining is mild. Deeper discoloration won’t always polish away though. The bonding itself doesn’t whiten like natural teeth.<\/p>\n
Occasionally bonding can irritate the gums if excess resin sits close, to the gumline. It may feel uncomfortable. Make the area harder to keep clean.<\/p>\n
Bonding works well when the amount of resin is kept sensible and the bite is checked properly. If you’re expecting it to last forever without any wear or maintenance though you’re asking much from a cosmetic material.<\/p>\n
