Right away I heard that sickening little crunch between my front teeth. Reached up with my tongue: sure enough, half the composite resin on one of my bonded teeth was gone.<\/p>\r\n<p>I totally panicked for a second thinking the real tooth snapped in half. Walked into the bathroom, pulled out my phone, and turned on the flashlight to get a closer look in the mirror. It looked terrifying up close, but looking carefully at the fracture line, it was just the old bonding filling from five years ago that popped off. The natural tooth underneath looked completely untouched.<\/p>\r\n<p>I had multiple front teeth bonded five years back to close gaps and balance my smile line. People always wonder how long bonding across multiple teeth actually holds up. In my mouth, it lasted five solid years. When multiple teeth are bonded together, longevity is typically 5 to 7 years because your bite forces are shared across several teeth rather than focused on just one.<\/p>\r\n<p>I called my dental clinic and went in on Monday afternoon expecting a painful, expensive procedure, but it was an absolute non-event:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>No shots, no needles. He didn&#8217;t even pick up a syringe.<\/li>\r\n<li>He used a tiny sanding disc to smooth down the rough jagged edges so fresh resin could stick.<\/li>\r\n<li>Put a drop of blue acid gel on it for about 15 seconds, rinsed it, put on bonding glue, and layered on new composite.<\/li>\r\n<li>Cured it with the blue wand, checked my bite twice with carbon paper, and polished it up.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>The whole appointment took barely 15 minutes and cost about normal co-pay. I walked out of the clinic with a completely smooth tooth and ate dinner normally that same evening with zero discomfort.<\/p>\r\n<p>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday I was having dinner and bit into a piece of crusty bread.
