“Do bonded teeth stain easily?”
I am a 33 year old male. I want to know if bonded teeth stain easily?

The short answer is yes. They are not smooth and are more porous than your natural teeth and are more susceptible to staining. the stains usually build over time and they can be avoided with good oral home care and regular cleaning appointments. Frequently brushing and flossing will help if you are big coffee or tea drinker. Porcelain restorations are a better way to go if you are really concerned with staining.
Dear Reader,
Great question. Most bonding is color stable and will not easily stain. On average, and I'm talking composite bonding, not porcelain veneers, will last about 7-10 years. However, if you use a hard tooth brush, abrasive toothpastes and drink red wine, blueberries, etc., their lifespan will be shortened and they will stain earlier. I suggest you brush with a soft (flexible) brush, use a mild toothpaste and go easy on the red wine, tomato sauce, etc.
Hope this helps,
