“How long does dental bonding last on front teeth?”

Great question! These days we all want to know how long something is going to last. Dental bonding is an awesome way to repair a tooth that has gotten a cavity, has been injured, or has some kind of genetic abnormality. The smaller the area that is bonded, it has been my experience that it will have a smaller number of issues. As the restoration gets larger in size, there is more surface area to stain or break. As always, good hygiene and a healthy diet will help keep your teeth sparkeling!

It can last a long time. It depends on many factors like your natural bite, grinding your teeth and home care.

Bonding on front teeth is really case to case. The size and location of the fractured enamel being replaced effects longevity as well as the patient’s bite. Typically they do periodically need to be replaced, if you have composite on a front tooth you want to avoid actions that require tensile strength like tearing. Never open packages with your front teeth, cut your sandwiches that have tough or crusty bread, be mindful of crunchy granola bars. If you get tired of replacing it a permanent fix would be a crown.
