Cosmetic bonding is an ideal choice for enhancing the appearance of your teeth. This procedure is fast and requires little to no preparation for your natural teeth.
Cosmetic bonding uses the same composite material found in standard white fillings, which is designed to match your natural teeth.
Your dentist can correct staining, chips, or even minor gaps between the teeth in just a single appointment using cosmetic bonding.
How do I care for my bonded teeth?
Brush and floss your teeth as normal. Avoid biting on hard foods or your fingernails and other hard objects like pen caps. Cosmetic bonding does stain over time, especially if you consume coffee, tea, dark soda and red wine or tobacco products. Book regular cleaning sessions with your hygienist to help remove surface stains.
How long does cosmetic bonding last?
The success of cosmetic bonding is determined on the location of the restoration on the tooth. Patients with bonding on their front teeth avoid biting into food that can affect the structural soundness of the restoration.
Cosmetic bonding can last 4-8 years on average depending on your bite and eating and chewing habits as well as the tooth location.
