Composite Bonding Compared With Ceramic Restorations for Stained Teeth

Composite bonding is miles better for stained teeth, while ceramic crowns are only needed if a tooth dies inside.

Drinking cups of black tea leaves dark brown marks across your teeth. The dentist dabs tooth glue over the stained enamel and smooths on a layer of matching white resin. It sets in thirty seconds under a blue light, hiding all dark patches and saving all your real tooth.

Ceramic crowns are heavy stone caps built for teeth that snapped right off. Grinding sound enamel down to a peg just to hide brown tea marks makes no sense when white bonding covers stains in one visit.

A landscape gardener visiting his sister from Manchester walked into 38 North Lane in Aldershot (GU12 4QG) fed up with stubborn tea stains across his front teeth. We brushed matching white resin over his front teeth in thirty minutes, clearing the dark patches before his afternoon drive back up north.
