21-11-2024I was reviewing a few of my recent purchases, so I thought I would update this review. It’s been 3 1/2 years since I cemented this bridge of my upper front teeth, and it’s still holding strong! This is obviously a professional product that’s every bit as permanent as what dentists use. I bite into apples and sandwiches with crust bread, and I don’t worry anymore. Great product, but only as good as your preparation. Keep reading for helpful tips. I wrote the initial review after 2 1/2 months. I updated it after 7 months, and then after a year-and-half. Now, after 3 1/2 years, I consider it permanent! I really expected to be constantly regluing it, but I’m convinced that this is the same formula as the dentist uses. I couldn’t be happier, because it saved me a fortune! After seeing several dentists about recementing my bridge and getting estimates in the $200-300 range, I decided to try this product on Amazon. I was a little worried, because it had been a couple months, and the peg teeth were starting to turn brown. One had broken off inside the bridge, so I worried there wasn’t much for the bridge to hold on to. I was METICULOUS about preparation! First, I took a little piece of 600 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper and gently resurfaced the pegs on all sides, which removed the brown and gave a fresh surface to adhere to. I cleaned the bridge and let it sit in a mild peroxide solution for a few minutes before I washed and DRIED it. Then I flossed and brushed my teeth thoroughly and rinsed with mouthwash. Finally, I dried the teeth and tucked some rolled cotton gauze between my lip and gum, to try to keep the area dry (like the dentist does). I mixed the solution according to directions, filled the bridge, and just before I put it in place, I hit the bridge and teeth with compressed air, to make sure they were DRY. Then I squished the bridge into place, wiped off the excess cement, clamped down to hold it firmly in place, and didn’t move for about 20 minutes. It’s held for two and a half months and counting! I really think making sure the area is CLEAN and DRY is the secret to a good result. I’ll try to remember to update this review in a few months or if it comes loose. UPDATE: It’s been 7 months since I used this product to cement my bridge and that FIRST application is STILL holding! I couldn’t be more pleased! This is a four-tooth upper bridge of FRONT teeth. At first I was really careful not to bite into anything, assuming I would knock it loose, but now I bite into sandwiches, etc. without worrying about it. I’m convinced that this product is every bit as good as what a dentist uses, but again, PREPARATION is important. For a good result, make sure the area and the bridge or crown are clean and dry— it’s worth the effort to do it right.

> 3 dayI have this 4 stars because the product came it a crushed boxed. But the products were still sealed so I tried it. Going on 4 days and it’s sticking good through brushing my teeth and eat. I don’t follow measurement directions. You have to kinda mess around with it to get proper texture. It does the job until I can afford professional dental bonding for my front gap

> 3 dayI have a temporary crown on my front tooth that keeps popping off. The cement works great! Today is the first day I used it but seems to work great. I didn’t like how pricey it was but definitely worth the $40 and it saves me a bunch of trips to the dentist.

> 3 dayBest crown/bridge glue Ive ever used. Ive found the directions a bit misleading. Its VERY important to clean your crown/bridge before using the glue. I use a vibrating tooth cleaner on Amazon by Vtiisamao. On a crown, I use 1 drop to a half scoop powder, QUICKLY give it quick three mixing swirls and put it in the crown and place it where it belongs, Put pressure on it for 20 odd seconds and it holds solid for an average of 2-3 weeks. On a bridge, I use 2-3 drops to 1 scoop powder with the same procedure and lasts about the same. I dont aggressively brush the bridge or crown but just give a quick light go around twice daily. It gets me to my next dental appointment and I eat what I want.

> 3 dayThis stuff is pretty darn good . . . and I definitely dont regret buying it as well I highly recommend this product, but it all depends on what youre using it for. Dont be fooled by comment claims that people are making entirely new teeth then eating as normal while those teeth last for months on end because I can tell you from experience that is not the case. I have a bottom, back broken molar that was filled a long time ago and over the years it has deteriorated to the point that the only dentist fix is extracting and replacing it. But I dont have thousands of $s lying around to do that, and that particular molar is the only one I have left on my bottom left jaw and I dont want it pulled, so I happened upon this product after hours of perusing the internet. The first few times of refilling/repairing my broken molar had the filling lasting only a day or two before I had to refill it with more of this dental putty because what I used crumbled away. But thats because the comments that you can start eating as normal again after only an hour or so convinced me that I could. Now, after many uses of this product I fill my molar and it lasts about a week or so WITHOUT ME CHEWING ON THAT SIDE before I need to refill it again. But thats okay with me because it is saving me lots of money. Just be aware that the first few times you use it you will make mistakes in a trial-by-error process, though after that youll get the hang of it. You take a scoop of powder, cut it in half, apply two drops of the liquid, mix those drops with half the powder for 15 or so seconds, then you mix the rest of it together for 45 or so seconds. After that you have about 30 seconds max to apply it to your tooth and set it/pack it into place before it fully hardens. Ive found it easiest to go through this process then after that just take the little wad of putty, place it on my fingertip and apply it directly that way to my tooth instead of using the utensils provided, as this ensures the best packing/coverage of the exposed area of tooth. After that I avoid chewing on that side of my mouth as much as possible because doing so more rapidly deteriorates this temporary dental putty (one of the main reasons why I bought this stuff was the sharp, broken edges of my molar were constantly cutting into the inside of my cheek, and this stuff fixes that problem really well really fast). Pretty much I now have to reapply the putty to my molar around once per week, maybe even a little longer. I WISH there was a permanent bonding version of this available instead of this temporary solution, but I guess thats what paying big bucks to the dentist is actually for. All in all I still definitely recommend this product, but be aware that people claiming theyve fixed their teeth, or even created entirely new teeth, then eat as normal while this stuff lasts for months is simply untrue. Dont get me wrong, I am glad I discovered and use this product (I actually bought a second back-up kit about two weeks after buying and using the first), but it is in no way a permanent fix. I gave it four stars because it doesnt last nearly as long as described, but it does an amazing job of fixing a broken tooth . . . however temporary. I would advise buying one of these dental repair kits even if you dont need it just to have it on hand in case of a dental emergency. It will provide you a quick fix that will hold you over until you can see a dentist or, like me, prolong your eventual dentist visit if your situation is not an emergency.
