Tooth bonding

Anyone ever had this done? For cosmetic purposes instead of a brace for a year? I am thinking of getting it done, but concerned about how strong it will be and how quick it would discolor. I think for one tooth that I want re-shaping is £150 which isn't too bad. Anyone had this done? Experiences with it?

It's a very good way of changing the shape of a tooth without damaging that tooth.
It shouldn't discolour too quickley - providing you don't do anything silly like smoke - but even when and if it does, the bonded bit can be smoothed away, and redone, again without damaging the tooth underneath.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
Ah right cool, so they dont break eating an apple then? As my dentist was sort of implying that.... I have to have the bottom tooth filled down for it to fit apparently..0

They can do if you really go at it - but not usually.
Not sure about grinding down opposing teeth - I take it this will only be very minimal?How to find a dentist.
