How long does teeth bonding last on front teeth?

I am a 43 year old female. I want to know how long does teeth bonding last on front teeth?

This can vary from patient to patient. Lots of factors contribute to the longevity of the restorations. If you don’t have any back teeth, the front teeth take more abuse and generally don’t last as long. Larger fillings in the front tend to fail quicker than smaller fillings. Using the teeth to bite into foods like corn/apples/etc tend to decrease life of the filling.
Hi,

It depends. There are a multitude of factors that play a role in how long bondings on front teeth last. First is how large the cavities are that are being restored. How strong the biting forces are plays a big role. The dentist's skill and technique in placement is a huge factor. And most importantly, how well a person maintains the bondings (brushing and flossing) will impact longevity. So it's really hard to give an answer with so many unknowns.

Sincerely,
