Please I'm so sad dentist filed one tooth too much on the bottom but also buffed the backside touching 6 teeth I'm freaking out. I'm so upset he filed a tooth but then he polished the back side of my teeth going against 6 teeth He saids he only touched one tooth this is not true I felt the too on the backside of the teeth I brush my teeth they are blunt rough and shorter my retainer and pictures show the difference My mouth is small he did this file because I have a implant on the top I'm crying everyday He didn't have to do this I bite down the teeth are so weak soft & my jaw isn't right so horrible can this be fixed?

Answer: How can I fix my teeth after dentist filed one tooth too much on the bottom
I think you would get much better results with Bioclear than free-handed bonding. Usually there's an additional cost because it's a better option. That being said, it's your lower teeth and no one sees that when you're smiling, so it's up to you.
A frenectomy is always beneficial to prevent a gap from forming again. Were you aware it can also be done alternatively with a laser rather than a surgical incision? The procedure is performed quickly without anesthesia, minimal to no bleeding and stitches...
Dental bonding can restore the chip, but depending on your bite, it may not be strong enough!Usually they might chip again depending on your habits, a stronger restoration is porcelain veneers.It is best always to restore tooth, rather than removal of tooth structure!
