Can I have my tooth bonding re-done again to match actual tooth shade? What are my options?

October 4, 2016
Asked By:Sparkle9231 in West Hollywood, CA

I had two very small chips in my two front teeth and went to a local dentist to have them fixed in May. However, the bonding color was yellow and darker than my actual tooth shade. The dentist said that he would re-do the bonding for free and mentioned the process was a quick fix. After bonding, it appears that a larger area has now been bonded, my teeth are thinner, tooth was improperly polished and the color does not match AGAIN. The bonding appears gray in pics is much worse than before.

Sarah Thompson, DMD says:

It sounds like a bite issue has not been and needs to be addressed. It's important make sure that the bonding is not coming into contact with your lower teeth, which is causing it to fracture. For a more durable solution, I too would recommend a veneer.  I hope this helps. Click save on the sa...

Why won't my dentist bond my chipped tooth?
Sarah Thompson, DMD says:

Your tooth has already chipped and then the bonding fractured. Replacing the bonding again will most likely result in another fracture. I would recommend restoring the tooth with a more durable, longer lasting solution such as a dental crown or veneer. I hope this helps. Click save on the save b...
