I had braces when I was younger to correct misalignments and gaps between my teeth. Ive also had composite finding done to my central incisor after chopping it when I was around 8 years old. I am now 27 and that filling has lasted for almost 20 years! However, Im now interested in fixing the discoloration it has in addition to adding more length and possibly width to the rest of my front teeth. Mostly cosmetic concerns. Im wondering if veneers or tooth bonding would be the best option for. Im more inclined towards dental bonding because its more affordable and less invasive. What should I do? Am I a good candidate for dental bonding as well?
I had my top 2 front teeth and the bottom 3 directly underneath bonded due to breakage and damage. The bonding extends the bottom teeth slightly to the height they should have been - they were very worn with exposed pulp. The dentist said to expect my molars not to meet but this should resolve in approx 6 weeks when they readjust and settle. Is this true? I didnt think molars grew in height so how will the gap resolve? Eating is awkward at the moment and Im very anxious about it.
I have developed some enamel erosion along the gumline of my upper teeth, likely due to aggressive brushing over the years. I have corrected this and otherwise my oral is health is good with regular check-ups and cleanings. I am pretty self conscious about it since it is visible. I was considering bonding to improve the look, but am concerned about what this does to the teeth long term since it has to be redone occasionally, and I don't want to harm the enamel unnecessarily.
I had 4 teeth composite edge bonded. I didnt like it as it made my teeth look crooked. The dentist then buffed off the length of my front teeth again I look terrible! My question is how long do I have to wait to get it done again by another provider?
When talking through the procedure I asked her to keep it subtle so the teeth would look natural. When we were finished, immediately I didnt like them, they looked very big and unnatural. My friends have made comments such as they are creepy etc which in all honestly I agree with. Can anyone advise if composite bonding could be done on my teeth in a natural way? (Not too fussed with the gaps, as long as they looked neater) Should I ask for it to be removed and try Invisalign instead
I have a wisdom tooth which is positioned in a mesial impaction way. This leaves a small gap which covers the rest of the wisdom tooth meaning I need to brush this area at an angle to clean it properly. I do not have a problem with this but due to food getting stuck during the day I would like to get this gap filled as this is still a hard area to access completely. I would like to find out what options I have that could fill this area, including bonding or any other suggestions on this issue.
Ive had this gap my entire life but recently decided enough is enough and I want to get it fixed! I would be happy to close the gap completely or just mostly, as I know my gap is large and the process might be demanding Im not sure if dental bonding could work? Im hoping for a fast/cheap procedure, which is why I was banking on bonding. Ive never had braces or a retainer, since the rest of my teeth have alway been fine where they are.
