Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2007Pic of front tooth that is chipped. bonding?
Should i use bonding to fix chip in front tooth or will the white bonding contrast with stained teeth? tooth chip. two over from left canine. http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/1084/img0094pf0.jpg tooth chip(another pic of chipped tooth) http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/8979/img0096um1.jpg ========================= Second Question: My front bottom teeth are pushed to the left. I though it was drifting but i see that my upper canine comes down and fill the gap created by "drift". Im thinking the orthodontist did this on purpose? I dont see how i could push the front teeth to right because the right lower canine would have to push into right upper canine. shows drift in lower front teeth http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0100cx0.jpg teeth closed. what the world normally sees when I smile. http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/6108/img0099yq9.jpg shows how the upper and lower canines meet. http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/7452/img0098qr6.jpg click pic again to get larger view. > Should i use bonding to fix chip in front tooth or will the white > bonding contrast with stained teeth?

Right on the incisal edge, a bonded resin restoration is unlikely to hold up in my experience. If the roughness bothers you, I would have the dentist polish it smooth and be done with it.

The color should be no problem to match, but whatever broke the original tooth will most certainly destroy composite bonding. Smooth and polish or go for a veneer (I vote for the former). Do you bite your finger nails? Was this some type of accident?

No finger nail biting. Thanks for the help. ditto  Signature/ Amatus / > >> Should i use bonding to fix chip in front tooth or will the white [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > JMO, > Steve |
