Answers Please? Teeth bonding question need to know before senior pics?

I have a question. I'm 17 years old and for the most part have pretty straight teeth. Just my 2 front teeth have a small gap betweem them that is noticeable. Would bonding resolve this?? Is there anything else i can do besides get braces? And how much would bonding cost? Is this a bad idea?


Answers:

Yes, bonding can close gaps leaving you with perfectly shaped and shaded teeth.

It is less expensive than that of orthodontics, crowns or veneers. It would be considered a four surface composite per tooth (which charges may be based on the "size" or amount of material used with your dentist) that is somewhere around $160.00 per tooth, depending on your area.

I would highly recommend them since it will require a minimal amount of tooth structure to be removed to place the bonding.

The only draw back would be if you want to bleach your teeth at some point down the road. The bonding will not change shades with bleaching solutions, so your teeth will lighten leaving you with darker composite material. You can always have it changed, but at an added expense. Or you may want to bleach your teeth now, before you do the bonding. It will depend on your time frame also.

Hope I've been of some help. Discuss this with your dentist, he can explain and possibly show you photo's of cases with bonding that he has completed. Good luck, I know you'll be happy with your bonding, I am with mine.
