Thermoplastic Beads for Teeth Repair– for DIY Tooth Filling – Moldable Thermal Beads for Teeth Repair – Ideal for Chipped, Cracked Teeth – Realistic and Durable (20 Grames)

I lost a tooth due to a failed root canal, and have been struggling with my image the past few months. I bought this, used as instructed by the other reviews, and it worked wonderfully. The plastic hardened into white solid plastic after about 15 minutes drying. The tooth stays in my mouth without trouble thanks to the support of my other teeth. The tools provided are large and high quality.That being said, I have a tip I'd like to share for my friends with yellowed teeth. I used a small baggie of VANILLA EXTRACT to dye the tooth, since the white was noticeable against my other teeth. I left it for 15 minutes and had the correct color. A tester I left in the vanilla turned VERY yellow after an hour, so be sure to check regularly for your color match. The color does not seem to fade or smudge, like the plastic is truly dyed.Would highly recommend this product over the more expensive tooth replacement kits! Amazing quality and quantity for the price.

Tried so many times to make this work and it doesn’t work for back teeth. Not even sure how it would work for front teeth, to be honest.They are plastic beads, you heat them up and mold them. Then take it out and let it harden and then once it turns white, you insert it back. I’ve used temporary dental cement so I figured this was a similar concept for a cheaper price, but this did not work at all!I had a temporary crown on a back molar that broke, the middle part of my actual tooth is gone so I’m constantly getting food stuck in it and wanted a temporary fix until I could get to a dentist. I got a dental cement and that worked well, but it would break apart over time. So, while looking for other options, this seemed to have good reviews. I have no idea how.The problem is you can’t keep it in the tooth as it dries (says not to), but when you take it out, it seems to slightly change shape, just enough that it will never exactly fit like a cement would. Basically, it will sit in the missing spot, but it’s literally just sitting there. It’s not “anchored” as they say it will be. I tried using a dental pick to carefully remove it as to not damage the shape. I tried reheating and remolding about 20 times and had the same problem every time.You can’t eat with it because it will just fall out and the worst part is so matter how small I made it, it felt uncomfortable and was easily pushed out by my tongue. Also if you eat anything hot, it melts.Then I said forget it, it’s not working, I’ll just return and use the money to put towards cement again because at least that holds. I just received the package, I’m an entire month before the return window closes, but the company will not allow you to return it and refuses to refund any money for their product being defective. I would contact Amazon, but it’s not even worth my time. I’ll use it as hot glue (it’s basically the same exact thing).Terrible quality, uncomfortable, not sticky enough, not durable, not even a short term solution, and horrible customer service… Save your money, find a different product. This is not it!!

So I broke a filling and it's going to be a while before I can get in to see a dentist. I've had a fairly large temp filling made from this product in for about two months and it's still going strong. I'm not saying you *should* utilize this product for that long, but you certainly can. There are a few caveats though.First of all, fitting is a bit harder than with one of the paste-based fillers. You need to estimate how much material you need, soften it in hot water, roll the pellets into a single ball and then firmly press it into the gap you're trying to fill. Then you need to bite down to form the filling to your bite and quickly remove the filling while it's still soft so that you can trim off any excess. You can re-heat the filling in hot water to extend your working time. I also found that you can make minor adjustments to the fit while the filling is installed by holding a small spoon or other metal implement in hot water and then using that to carefully sculpt or trim the filling, though I don't recommend this as there is a small chance of burning yourself.Caveat number 2: hot food and drinks may soften the filling slightly, changing the fit/bite.Caveat number 3: heavy use causes wear and extrusion over time. I've noticed that the plastic gradually extrudes through the gap in between my teeth, requiring occasional trimming of the extruded bit. This means you're probably going to get a higher than recommended dose of microplastics. Likewise, I've noticed the exposed surface wears over time, creating a rough surface, though consuming hot food or drink smooths the surface back out.All in all, I'm pretty happy with this product.

I am in the process of going from a bridge to implants, and after my dentist sectioned off my bridge I had a 2-tooth gap with the barest shell of a tooth above the gumline until I have it extracted. Where the shell is over the gumline it is sharp, and it was scraping up the underside of my tongue. My dentist can't file it down any more than she has already or she won't have anything to grip to do the extraction, but I couldn't live with the pain for the next 2 months, so I started looking around for a solution. This product let me make a temporary "bridge" to fill the gap and cover the sharp tooth edges, and I managed to make it so I can pop it out and clean under it, then pop it back in. The stuff is quick to warm up, relatively easy to work with if you're at all good at crafts, and tasteless. I actually heated up way more than I needed the first time, but you can pull off the amount you need ad the rest will cool back down so you can make something else with it later. Their smallest size would have been more than sufficient for what I needed it for, but I'm not sorry I got the bigger one because you never know when you could use something like this somewhere else.
