What is Teeth Bonding?
Bonding is an alternative to crowns and veneers that is cost-effective. If you are interested in tooth bonding, your dentist will apply a tooth-colored composite resin to one or more of your teeth.
Benefits of Tooth Bonding
Teeth bonding has many benefits including:
- It can help repair chipped or cracked teeth while preventing future damage
- Bonding can fix gaps in teeth
- Tooth bonding can conceal discoloration
- Bonding can change your tooth shape to match the rest of your smile
How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?
Bonding on the front teeth can last between 4 and 8 years, but it may need to be replaced in as little as 3 and as many as 10 years depending on the bond's location, your bite, and your eating habits.
After the 8-year mark, your dentist will assess the bonding site to determine if the bond needs to be replaced, retouched, or if it is fine as is.
