Bonding would definitely work for you in your case, but there are few things that you should keep in mind about bonding your two front teeth.1) Bonding will usually cost between $150 and $350, depending on the specifics of your case.2) Bonding stains much faster than your natural teeth and is very resistant to whitening treatments.3) Bonding is a lot weaker than tooth enamel and will therefore, break much easier than your natural tooth.4) Bonding will look great, if you have an excellent cosmetic dentist doing it. If you pick the wrong dentist, you will probably not have a very cosmetic appearance. I suggest looking at the before and after photos that a doctor has on this site or on their website.Veneers may be a better, and more permanent alternative. Veneers are more expensive, but very stain resistant, stronger than natural teeth, and look great. I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMD
No, it is not too big for bonding. However, the space would be closed and your front tooth look way too large. Thus, you would be trading one problem for another.In my professional opinion, you have two choices. One is orthodontics, and the other is doing at least four porcelain veneers (not bonding). This way the large space will be filled and your four or six teeth will end up being in proportion to one another. It will look much more natural and esthetic.
I've seen wider gaps corrected with bonding, so I would say that this is not too large to fix with bonding. Just realize that it will make those two front teeth look wider and you may want to consider braces in order to get a more esthetic appearance.
I would recommend orthodontics as the most reliable and long term answer to your space closure. Composite bonding can be used to close the space but the two upper incisors will then be much to wide and the composite fillings may pick up stain over time and become unsightly
Based on your description of events, it doesn't sound like bonding would be the best option for you. It would be the cheapest option, but not the best. This is because the large space would require significant bonding that would be very likely to break off in just a few months...
Having done dental bonding on thousands of teeth, it's my opinion that bonding would not be the best option in your case. I would highly recommend that you get veneers. I have had patients come to me with teeth much worse than yours and now they have flawless white teeth and can't...
