Composite Bonding Compared With Ceramic Restorations for Gapped Teeth

If you have a gap between healthy teeth, composite bonding is miles better than ceramic crowns.

Closing a gap between healthy teeth should never mean cutting good enamel away. The dentist dabs a little white resin onto the inside edge of both teeth until they meet in the middle. You sit back in the chair, feel zero discomfort, and keep all your natural tooth intact.

Porcelain caps belong on teeth that are broken or dead. Cutting healthy enamel down to little pegs just to close a gap makes no sense when bonding does the job safely.

An architect who worked in Manchester before moving south visited 38 North Lane in Aldershot (GU12 4QG) with a gap between his front teeth that whistled during client presentations. We built up the inner edges with composite bonding in forty minutes, closing the gap completely without touching a drill.
