I had a pretty big gap between my two front teeth growing up. About 5-6 years ago, I had cosmetic bonding done, completely closing the gap. this year, I have notified a smal space between the bonding again. I have seen 3 dentists, including the one who did it in the first place who tell me it is not time to re do it as there is no wear down on it and that they are unable to touch it up.
