My answer is yes, tooth bonding is suitable for canines, but your dentist has got to know your bite inside out.<\/p>\r\n

Here is why: your canines are the heavy lifters of your jaw. When you slide your jaw left or right while chewing food, your top and bottom canines touch and slide against each other. This motion lifts your back molars apart so they do not grind together. Dentists call this canine guidance. That means canine tips take a lot of sideways friction.<\/p>\r\n

If your canine tip has snapped off or worn down, I can easily rebuild that sharp corner using high-strength composite resin. But I spend a good ten minutes checking your chewing movement with blue carbon paper before you leave.<\/p>\r\n

If I leave the bonded tip even a fraction too thick, your jaw will crash into it when you chew, and that fresh resin will ping right off. When it is balanced down to the micrometre, though, it holds up brilliantly.<\/p>\r\n

If you grind your teeth when you get stressed at work, grab a nightguard from us. That little plastic shield will keep your newly bonded canine tip safe while you sleep.
