Dental bonding typically lasts between five and ten years, depending on oral habits, bite forces, and how well the teeth are cared for. Avoiding hard foods, nail biting, and teeth grinding can help extend its lifespan. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups also support the durability and appearance of bonded teeth over time.

The procedure is typically completed in one visit, requires little to no preparation, and offers immediate results with no downtime.

Process

Application: A tooth-colored resin is placed on the tooth and carefully shaped to improve its appearance.
Curing: A special curing light is used to harden the resin and secure it in place.

FAQ
-
How long does dental bonding last?
-
What type of adhesive is used in dental bonding?
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin along with a dental bonding agent that helps the material adhere securely to the tooth. The bonding agent creates a strong connection between the natural tooth and the resin, which is then hardened with a special curing light. This combination provides a durable bond while maintaining a natural appearance.
-
Is dental bonding permanent?
Dental bonding is not considered permanent, but it is a long-lasting cosmetic treatment. The bonded resin can wear down, chip, or stain over time and may need repair or replacement after several years. With proper care, good oral hygiene, and regular dental visits, dental bonding can remain effective and attractive for many years.
