Question

Is it possible to disguise craze lines with bonding?

Kathy Frazar, DDS, FAGD · Answer

Dental Bonding is done to overlay a tooth to cover up imperfections or to make the size and shape of a tooth different.  It may be able to be used here but it will be on top of your tooth so the teeth will be out further.  Also, Bonding may only last for 5-7 years depending on what you eat, drink and how you take care of them.  See a cosmetic dentist to evaluate what can be done to address your concerns

Hello and thank you for your question. While the best way to answer this is with an in-person evaluation, the short answer is yes, dental bonding may be used to improve this. The results will look and feel natural. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with Dentist or a Prosthodontist. A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in tooth restoration techniques like dental bonding.

Craze lines are small cracks within the enamel that typically don't cause much concern or symptoms with patients. If there is an aesthetic issue then bonding, veneers or whitening could camouflage the crack from sight if you desire an appearance without the craze line. Basically the crack is removed and a material is put in its place to hide it from view.
