Patients often ask our dentists at Envy Smile Dental how bonding smooths uneven teeth without having to shave down the longer ones to match.<\/p>\r\n<p>We call this incisal edge harmonisation. We don&#8217;t shave your enamel down. You walk out after about sixty minutes with tooth-coloured resin sculpted onto the shorter edges, creating a balanced, flowing smile curve before lunchtime.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Key Clinical Summary<\/h2>\r\n<p>In our clinic at 3 Goldhawk Road in London and talking with people who travel down to see us from Manchester the number one goal is creating an even smile curve that follows your lower lip. We build up only the shorter teeth so they match the rest of your smile.<\/p>\r\n<p>The main risk comes down to high spots during chewing. If the dentist leaves even a hair too much resin on one built-up tooth, that single spot will hit first every time you close your mouth. Chewing food will bruise the cushion beneath the tooth until the high spot is polished away.<\/p>\r\n<p>Plaque also settles easily along the join. You have to thread floss right down into that crevice every single night, or tea and red wine will leave a dirty brown line right along the bond. An electric brush helps, but an interdental stick does the real work.<\/p>\r\n<p>It helps to bite on blue carbon paper at the end of the appointment so your bite feels completely flat and comfortable.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>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>When your smile line looks stepped, jagged, or tilted, composite bonding can level out the biting edges in an afternoon.
