About 5 years ago I had my top 6 front teeth bonded with composite bonding to remove a gap and make them more uniform in size and color. I was happy the first two-three years, but the past 2 years I've had nothing but problems. They have chipped in a number of places and now I have a chipped front tooth and gaps on the sides of two of my bonded teeth, plus the places that chip turn brown and no dental cleaning (including the salty sandblast) removes it. My dentist now refuses to repair them--says it won't help for very long. Wish he'd told me that before he messed with all of them. Of course, he wants me to let him put on Lumineers. I'm looking for a different dentist and better advice. I'd be very careful about getting the bonding done, unless your dentist agrees in writing to repair them every time they chip or turn brown in places so they continue to look like new for more than a couple of years. Mine are a real disappointment. I've got to do something, but $4,000 for the Lumineers and more for caps is a real problem too!
