Hi Nothappy29! I am so sorry that the flossing removed some bonding from your tooth. You asked what your tooth would like under the bonding? That all depends on how much of the tooth structure was removed or broken off before the original bonding. Bonding is easily and quickly repaired. It if is a small piece, you can add to the original bonding material. If it is a large piece, the dentist may elect to remove the old bonding and place a new one on the tooth. Either way, your tooth will be fine and it is done quickly in one visit.
Your tooth will just as it was before placing the bonding. You can have the piece that fell off replaced. The great thing about bonding is you can place it over almost any tooth surface!
If you had just a little piece of dental bonding (plastic composite filling) chip off of your teeth, then it can sometimes be repaired just by adding some more bonding over the chip. How well this repair can be done may depend on how long ago the original bonding was placed, what particular material was used for the original bonding, and your bite or occlusion (which may be why the bonding broke in the first place). However, if your dentist tries to repair the bonding (without removing the entire bonding and starting over from scratch) you should be aware that he will most likely tell you that there is no guarantee how long a repaired bonding will last. There are just some limitations with the ability to bond new bonding over old bonding. The most predictable way of repairing a broken bonding is to completely remove all the old bonding first and then place a completely new bonding. Usually we will try to repair the broken bonding first, and if that fails then replace it with a completely new bonding. Regarding your question, "how will the tooth look underneath", that depends on how much tooth broke off before the original bonding was placed.
Bonding can be done over a fractured tooth surface, virgin smooth tooth surface, or dentist prepared tooth surface. If the dentist attached the bonding to your tooth without prepping or drilling the tooth surface then its just your tooth itself underneath the bonding composite material. So when the bonding comes off, your tooth will be lying underneath as it was before the procedure. This is why bonding can be advantageous if you want a procedure that can be reversible. Bonding lasts typically up to 5 years but I have seen changes in bonding in as little as 1 year. It is possible for material to come loose.. You should call the dentist and let them know so they can repair it for you. In my office there would not be a charge for repair with the original treatment being just yesterday. Good Luck!
its a very quick and easy proceedure, and can be done in 1 visit, also can make your teeth look looke natural again,
Resins in posterior teeth, are not a good idea, if there are big restorations, overlays,onlays, in ceramical, are intended for these cases, the bite its very strong here, and this can cause the resin to have this type of issues,i will re-do it,
Gaps can be easily closed with orthodontics. Although Veneers can also work I would suggest going with the less invasive technique and have braces or Invisalign instead.
Your gaps are too large to close with a retainer. Look into invisalign or veneers.
