Q.
Hi Dr. Patel. I live in Chicago, Illinois and I’ve been going to various dentist looking for help for my small gap in my two front teeth.

Bonding has cracked – can this be fixed?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Q.
I have composite bonding on my front teeth to fill the gap, but this has cracked around one of them at the top. I need this corrected asap as its uncomfortable. I have moved to London but my NHS dentist is in Colchester, Essex. Also the bonding has only lasted a few months, therefore I do not think the dentist did a very good job, as it is supposed to last longer than that and has already been fixed once. Is this easily corrected? Do I need it done quickly as it feels like it will crack off? Is it possible to have the bonding redone safely?,
A.
Find a local dentist, its prob… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would bonding or veneers or a filling help with chipped tooth?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, Can you please advise – is dental bonding the same as a ‘filling’? I have a chipped front tooth and have had it filled by my dentist somewhere around 10 times over the last two years – it keeps falling out. due the dentis ‘chipping’ away at the tooth each time this chip has now become much much larger – resulting in a big gap between my teeth (i feel as though half of my tooth has gone) I have also looked at veneers but am put off due to the fact i think it would be far more noticeable against my other front tooth. could you please advise on this also. Many thanks,
A.

Is composite filling cause of sore gums?

Monday, January 18th, 2010
Q.
5 months ago I had a small gap between by two front teeth closed with white filling (composite bonding). It looks great, feels fine, and is easy to clean and maintain so i am very happy with it. However, over the last few months, my gum surrounding one of the teeth and the gum in the centre of the teeth has become red and puffy and sore looking. I am dedicated to keeping my teeth and gums healthy and no other teeth have this problem, my other gums are fine. I am off to see a hygeniest tomorrow, but it this a common complaint with this type of cosmetic procedure? i have never seen gum problems on the list of cons for composite bonding. Any idea what could be cuasing the redness and puffiness, bearing in mind i floss and brush my teeth 3 times a day and use mouthash as well. Thank you.,
A.
