Small chip bonding removal - will my tooth have the same shape, shine & color that it had? (Photos)

Asked By:Azorian in São Miguel do Rio Torto, Santarém, Portugal

I had a really small chip on my upper left canine, caused by biting down a hard piece of bread that caused both canines to touch. It could've been repaired with a simple smoothing, but I and my dentist decided to add some resin to it due to a slight increase in sensitivity. But I was warned that by adding resign I could chip it off again. Now I'm scared and contemplating having it removed, will my tooth have the same shape, shine, and color that it had? Will it look the same?

Answer: By placing resin and not solving the occlusion problem, it is very likely that this resin restoration will come out frequently
