Can Tooth Bonding Fix Incisors?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n A lad came into Envy Smile Dental last Tuesday feeling quite down about his mouth. He dinged his front incisor tooth on a glass bottle, chipping a corner right off the biting edge. Because his front incisors frame his whole face, that missing corner bugged him all weekend.<\/p>\r\n He sat in my chair and went: can you actually fix incisors with bonding, or will the corner snap off the next time I eat a sandwich?<\/p>\r\n I told him right away: bonding is honestly your best bet here.<\/p>\r\n Your front incisors take very light chewing pressure compared to back teeth, so tooth-coloured resin handles everyday eating with ease. You don’t need anyone grinding down your tooth with a dental drill.<\/p>\r\n With composite resin, we do not cut anything away. I took a tiny dab of blue etch gel, cleaned the broken edge, brushed on some liquid glue, and literally sculpted white composite paste straight onto his incisor while he watched in a little hand mirror. I built the corner back down until it matched the incisor next door, and set the paste hard with our blue light gun.<\/p>\r\n Whole thing took about 35 minutes. Zero numbing needles. No drill buzz. He had a brew, checked his new smile in the car mirror, and was buzzing.<\/p>\r\n People always ask how long it holds up. Honestly, composite resin is tough stuff. Most patients get five or six years before they need a quick polish to get rid of tea marks. If you happen to crack a corner on a stubborn pistachio nut, don’t sweat it. You just pop back into our chair, and we stick a fresh patch on in ten minutes flat.<\/p>\r\n Visit our page on composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
