Dental bonding on my front teeth. Can I eat or chew food with that? What would be a permanent solution for chipped teeth?

Question

Sarah Thompson, DMD · Answer

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

Photos would certainly be helpful in this case to give you a definitive answer.  That being said, porcelain veneers are typically a much more permanent approach to restoring front teeth than dental bonding.  Best of luck.

Hi, thanks for write... Porcelain veneers is your best option for long long time, highly sthetic and highly strong, this process takes 2 appointments and helps to improve your smile. Regards

If your tooth is chipped i recommended you to see your dentist as soon as possible. Otherwise, your tooth could be damaged further or become infected, possibly causing you to end up losing the tooth. A permamnent solution for chipped teeth are porcelain veneers. Good luck!
