Dental bonding typically lasts around 5–10 years without further assistance. You can do your part to help teeth bonding last as long as possible through:

• Avoiding Tough Foods: Hard candies or ice can chip away at the bond’s foundation, making it more vulnerable to tooth damage.
• Limiting Damaging Habits: Clenching your teeth, chewing pencils, and ignoring bruxism can cause complications with tooth bonds, just as with natural teeth.
• Reducing the Risk of Stains: Smoking, pungent drinks, and improper dental habits can cause staining, which reduces the aesthetic lifespan of tooth bonding.
• Visiting the Dentist: Life can become busy. Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage can provide accountability to help your smile and bonding solution work as well as it can.

Dental bonding at all stages is easily alterable and requires only a couple of visits to reapply the solution if needed.
