Right away I heard that sickening little crunch on the corner of my mouth. Reached up with my tongue: sure enough, the composite resin tip on my canine tooth had chipped away.<\/p>\r\n<p>I totally panicked for a minute thinking the real canine snapped in half. Walked straight 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 four years ago that had popped off. The natural tooth underneath looked completely untouched.<\/p>\r\n<p>I had my canine tip bonded four years back because it had flattened out. People always wonder how long canine bonding lasts. Canines guide your entire jaw when you slide side-to-side, which puts massive lateral pressure on the tip. Because of that heavy sliding contact, canine bonding usually lasts 3 to 5 years, which is a bit shorter than other teeth.<\/p>\r\n<p>I called my dental clinic and went in on Wednesday 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 because the repair was strictly on the outer enamel.<\/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 Tuesday I was eating lunch at my desk and bit into a crusty sourdough roll.
