Composite bonding is a fantastic way to improve the look of your smile, whether you’re fixing chips, gaps, or discolored teeth. At CityTooth, we often get asked, “How long does composite bonding last?” The good news is that composite bonding can last anywhere from five to 10 years with proper care—sometimes even longer!
The longevity of your bonding depends on a few key factors, including your oral hygiene routine, lifestyle habits, and the location of the bonding on your teeth. For example, bonding on front teeth might require extra care since they’re more exposed when eating or biting.
To keep your composite bonding in great shape:
- Brush and floss daily to maintain your overall oral health.
- Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, as these can chip or damage the bonding.
- Limit foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee, red wine, and dark sauces.
- Visit CityTooth for regular dental check-ups so we can monitor your bonding and touch it up if needed.
