A guy popped into Envy Smile Dental on Monday afternoon holding the side of his jaw. He had been eating a packet of dry roasted peanuts at his desk when he heard a crunch. A small chunk of enamel had flaked off the biting surface of his lower first molar.<\/p>\r\n

He looked right nervous and asked me: is tooth bonding actually suitable for big molars, or am I looking at a massive gold crown?<\/p>\r\n

I told him: take a breath, bonding is brilliant for molars as long as the break isn’t huge.<\/p>\r\n

Your molars are the real anvil teeth in your jaw. They crush through crusty baguettes and tough meat all day long. Years ago, white fillings on back molars would wear out quickly. But today’s composite resins are packed tight with ceramic particles that can handle serious chewing pressure.<\/p>\r\n

His break was about the size of a pea on the outer rim of the tooth. The pulp nerve was completely safe.<\/p>\r\n

I numbed his gum, tidied up the sharp edge, and cleaned the crater. I painted on liquid dental adhesive and filled the missing chunk with composite paste. Our blue light cured it solid in thirty seconds. Then I shaped the little chewing dips so his teeth met naturally when biting.<\/p>\r\n

He tapped his teeth together, felt zero sharpness, and headed straight back to work with his molar saved.
