I recently broke two front teeth (about 1/2 of a central incisor and lateral incisor). My dentist performed an amazing composite bonding restoration and they look good as new. However, they still feel somewhat unnatural and I would like to know how long this feeling will last? It has been two weeks since the incident and the restoration. Thank you in advance!

Answer: Dental bonding
Dental bonding is a great form of treatment for fractured teeth, but the size of the fracture will make a difference in the prognosis of the restoration. For large-sized fractures, such as yours, it would be better to place veneers rather than dental bonding. Veneers are stronger than composite bonding and last longer.
If your bondings don't feel normal, it may be because they are close to your nerve. You should follow up with your dentist. Also, be careful not to bite into hard foods with your front teeth. All the best, Dr. Elizabeth Jahanian

Answer: Composite Restorations
Typically it would be safe to expect your new composite restorations to feel normal within a week or two. If it has been longer than that, it may be a good idea to re-visit your Dentist and have them polished or adjusted.
