Does the bonding on my four front teeth look good? (photos)

Question

I had bonding done on my four front teeth today. I just wondered if you thought it looked natural and if the dentist did a good job. Would you have done anything differently? I just want other educated opinions about how my teeth look now. I want my teeth to look nice but I want them to still look natural too (not like big fake Hollywood veneers). I am a 51 year old male. Thank you.

It looks like your dentist did an excellent job and the teeth look smooth and polished.  The color match is very good.The only part I would change is the size of the centrals and laterals.  It  appears like the golden proportion was violated.  Ideally the centrals should be wider and the laterals narrower.  Tooth number 10 especially looks wide.Ceramic veneers are  usually more alive looking than bonding and does not need to be hollywood white.  You doctor obviously cares about what he is doing and does it well.  The great thing about bonding is you can change it unlike veneers.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOChair, Alliance of TMD OrganizationsDiplomat, American Academy of Pain ManagementDiplomat, American Board of Dental Sleep MedicineRegent & Fellow, International College of CranioMandibular OrthopedicsBoard Eligible, American Academy of CranioFacial PainDental Section Editor, Sleep & Health JournalMember, American Equilibration SocietyMember, Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences

Your bonding looks excellent. Your dentist did a great job in contouring and shaping those teeth to make them appear as natural as possible. Enjoy your smile! :-)

Your doctor did a really good job. It looks really natural even when is difficult to get a natural look with bonding. Congratulations for your doctor.

Getting a natural look with bonding can be very difficult to achieve.  But I think your bonding looks very nice and natural.  You should be very proud of your smile.
