Any dental work success stories?

Hey! I have been going back and forth on some dental work which requires composite bonding for the last 2 years. I'm finally at a point where I have found a dentist and either want to go ahead or try accept I can never have it done.

I had an official NHS patch test done and found out the exact acrylates I'm allergic to. My dentist has found me composite which - does contain acrylates - but not the types I reacted to in the patch test.

I know there are still possibilities of reactions, but I think it's still safer. Plus of course it will be cured, however of course I'm still feeling nervous about this living my mouth!

I just wondered if anyone had any success stories with dental work and acrylate allergies - whether it's composite, fillings, or anything similar? I feel like there is still so little information on how this allergy affects the patients in dentistry.

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone in the comments so far - all super informative and encouraging! I have my consultation next week and will update with progress!

Composite bonding- is it normal

I had composite bonding yesterday, and I feel like they look fake and big, I have very small teeth beforehand, I don’t know what I should do, I went back as they were way too long but still feel like they could be smaller.

I’m torn between composite bonding or Invisalign to reclose the gap that opened about a year and a half after braces were taken off

I didn’t wear my retainers and my gap reopened. I did have a permanent retainer behind my two front teeth, which ended up eventually breaking and the gap started reopening pretty soon afterwards. I think my overall bite is OK still just want the gap closed before it opens even more should I get composite bonding while I save for Invisalign or should I just get Invisalign and not waste time with the bonding I don’t want to ruin my teeth. I just don’t want a gap anymore

Bonding— Dentist ADDED Chips?

I just got bonding on my top four teeth an hour ago. My dentist actually added two tiny chips to the front teeth on purpose as he said it makes the bonding look more natural. We didn’t discuss this beforehand and I am still a little shocked. Is this a common thing to do?
I don’t want fake-looking Hollywood teeth but, at the same time, I just paid a lot of money for my teeth to look as good as possible…which, to me, means no chips 🙈 What do those with more experience in bonding think? Thank you.

Composite bonding

I got composite bonding on my front two teeth because I chipped it. I'm not sure if I'm tripping but does it look too long or does it look ok??? Moments i like it moments I don't because I feel like they aren't really symmetrical before is on top after us on bottom in different lighting
