Hello there,Composite bonding can be used to repair chipped teeth and is a budget friendly option. However, bonding should always be thought of as a temporary fix because it chips and stains easily. For a permanent solution, I would recommend porcelain veneers or crowns. I always recommend selecting an experienced cosmetic dentist that really knows what they are doing. The best indicator to determine if the dentist is going to give you the results that s/he claims, is by viewing before and after photos of his/her patients that have undergone similar or the same procedures. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO area (O'Fallon, IL)Real Self 100

Dental boding on front teeth sometimes is problematic. There are many factors that make it so. 1. If on the very incisal edge of the tooth, then it is more prone to chipping through your biting forces. 2. If it is a thin amount, then can often chip off faster. 3. If you grind your teeth, you can potentially grind off your bonding. 4. If you bite hard into foods and/or eat a lot of hard foods (apples, carrots, nuts, etc) that can cause chipping / wearing faster too. We do tell our patients to be weary of the above and to alter food selections as much as possible.
Of course you can redo the dental bonding again, and probably this is the least invasive dentistry treatment for you. If you are thinking to just do your front tooth, you are way better off bonding the one tooth, due to color matching on one tooth veneer will be a challenge even for an expert...
As another colleague has already written, it may be best to see if that chip/uneven edge can be sanded and polished without any restoration placed. At this point, just wait to see how long this bonding lasts you, and in the future you can always consider that option if needed. Sometimes it is...
How did you get the chip in the first place? Do you know or is it something you just noticed one day? Do you clench or grind your teeth. It may be a bite related issue. All these factors need to be considered before deciding on fixing it or not. If you do the bonding without addressing the...
