Monday, April 20th, 2009
Q.
I have had chipped front teeth for about 10 years (since I was 8) The dentist ask me if I would like bonding done he said it would be a 8.lBl (what ever that means) he said he would bond one tooth and smooth out the other front tooth. I am asking if I go through with it can I use whitening strips and lets say the bonding “comes off” would my underlying tooth be like it was before I got the bonding?

my daughter bonded teeth is shorter and discoloured than the other can you advice

Monday, April 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello,can you please help!,i have a very distraught 16 year old daughter who a couple of months ago chipped one of her front teeth, leaving a semi circle chip at the bottom of the tooth.We took her to our usual dentist and he filled it,and it looked ok,but about 2 weeks later it came out,this happened again, then on the third time it came out she saw a different dentist as the other had left,he seemed to file down even more of her tooth and did a terrible job on the bonding, as now her tooth is shorter than the other and you can see a colour difference.I dont want to take her back there again as i feel it will just be made worst again!,can you give me some advice on the options for her tooth and recommend a good cosmetic dentist, this is quite upseting for her as she feels it has ruined her lovely smile. Many thanks

the bonding in my front tooth is often chipped off is there any other option

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Q.
I have recently had my two front teeth bonded to close a medium size gap in my front teeth. However, after only a couple of months the bonding has flaked/chipped off one of the tooth. I have had to go back to the dentist each time and he does repair the bonding at no cost. Just wondering what are my other options or am I stuck doing this procedure every few months. Also, I have no real bad habits of biting my nails or eating hard foods.

Will my composite filling wear off and will it make my teeth weaker?

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
Q.
Hello  Recently i had recieved 2 fillings in my two front teeth, not because of cavities, but because i had calcium deposits removed. My dentist replaced them with the composite bonding. Afterwards, I felt really naive because i didnt bother to question my dentist on how the procedure took place. I didnt know that he was going to actually drill away at my enamel in order to remove the stains. If i would have known that, i WOULDNT have had my calcium stains removed because they werent entirely noticeable; and plus composite doesnt compare to real enamel, right? I would really like to be enlightened on composite bonding. After my procedure, i visit some websites and did some research; and all of the statistics on composite bonding has astonished me in a negative way. My resources tell me that composite bonding doest last long, it stains over time and deteriorates.I am EXTREMLY concerned because those statistics have made me feel like i made the biggest mistake of my life. Im afraid to eat certain things because i feel my teeth or going to chip or stain. I am a smoker and im unsure if smoking will have a negative affect on my teeth. Im only 20 years old and i have a long life ahead of me. I am somewhat afraid that i will have to run back and forth to the dentist as i get older, worst of all; i will be a candidate for partials by the time im 35. I would be so greatful if you could give me your input on composite bonding. Everyone is telling me not to worry and to just eat regularly and do everything as i would normally do. But I have so many questions, it is hard for me to remain at ease. Here are a few questions….. -how does alcohol and smoking affect compostie fillings -if i am tewnty now, by what age will my fillings wear off, or will they wear off? -does composite filling make your teeth weaker, i.e break easily, chip, -are there special kinds of tooth paste made for composite feelings to remain white -How do i take proper care of my two front teeth (containing the composite). Thank You so much for your time.

My two central incisors are chipped on the frontal side

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hello :)I’m not too sure how this happened, but my two central incisors are chipped on the frontal side. The dentin is actually showing through on one.There are deep lines on those teeth – best way to describe it. It’s painful and sensitive. I’ve been told to get veneers(too expensive for me), but I was wondering if it would be possible to put a composite material on it and polish. Do you have any suggestions. I’m in dental school right now, so hopefully once I get in an office maybe veneers could be an option.Right now, it’s not resonalbe for me though.

I had some small lower front fillings replaced and tooth shaping

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I had some small lower front fillings replaced the other day, by a dentist new to me. I’m pleased overall with the look of them but towards the end of the session, I realised he was using something a bit like a nail file. I thought he must be shaping the filling material but discovered when I came to pay that ‘tooth reshaping’ was on the list of treatment. I didn’t want my teeth reshaped and since this work was done, about 2mm down the front from the top of two of the teeth has been feeling slightly rough to my tongue. Today, a small piece of something flat and almost transparent came away when I brushed my teeth. I’m worried that the dentist has caused some fracturing of the enamel and whether this will put my teeth at risk. They feel a bit more sensitive than they did. Could this be put right by a thin smeer of resin? I wish I’d asked what he was doing when he started using the file, or whatever.
