Pain in bonded tooth 5 Days out.

April 19, 2017
Asked By:hafoor23 in Indianapolis, IN

I had a small chip in one of my front teeth and had it bonded 5 days ago. I didn't have any pain before the bonding, but since yesterday (4 days after procedure) the tooth has been hurting. It is sore/kind of a light throbbing pain. I have been taking ibuprofen. I'm wondering if this is normal since I had the procedure less than a week ago and can expect some residual pain for a little while or if it's something that should concern me?

Hi, It is very difficult to bond to porcelain especially if the chip is in an area that is subject to forces from the bite, so normally even if repaired it would not last. Sometimes if the chip is small, and esthetics or function is not affected, the area can be polished and smoothed out without...

Dental bonding (composite) for 2-3mm gap? Is it a good option? (photo)
Kourosh Maddahi, DDS says:

Hi:My first suggestion is to have your orthodontist, move the two front teeth to create uniform space between the 4 front teeth.  This way the teeth will not look too big and the gaps are not too large to get bonding done.  In the present form porcelain veneer is the best option.Best,Dr. Maddahi
