Bad tooth bonding

May 21, 2013

I had a small chip on my tooth and decided to get if repaired with dental bonding. I am really frustrated with the results. Not only is the color off, but you can really tell where the “new” part of the tooth is. What do I do?

Sam,

First, I would give your dentist another chance to get the tooth bonding correct. It isn’t always easy to match the tooth color correctly, but you have the right to expect it.  In fact, the second appointment should be free of charge. Getting the color right is a basic expectation with this service.

If after the second treatment, you are still unhappy with the results, then I would be comfortable telling you to seek a different dentist for treatment.
