Why do we recommend bonding over lab porcelain for minor chips?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Cost and preservation. Porcelains need your outer enamel pared back with burs. Composite works in reverse: we just rebuild what broke. I clean the corner, dab on bonding glue, mould a tiny blob of resin against your tooth, click the cure light for twenty seconds, and buff it silky smooth.<\/p>\r\n

Looking after your repaired edge:<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Never snap sellotape using your teeth, keep clear of ice cubes, and use soft bristles. Anyone who clenches their jaw at night should definitely grab an occlusal guard to save the patch.<\/p>\r\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Q: <\/strong>Does fixing a chip require numbing injections?<\/p>\r\n

No needle required. Enamel has no nerve fibres inside, so you sit back comfortably without injections.<\/p>\r\n

Q: <\/strong>What if the resin chips later on?<\/p>\r\n

A chipped resin patch takes twenty minutes to buff and touch up in the clinic.
