Frequently Asked Questions
Is bonding right for me?
Dental bonding is ideal for patients with minor cosmetic concerns like chipped, cracked, discolored, or uneven teeth. It’s also an excellent option for closing small gaps or reshaping a tooth. However, it may not be suitable for those with more extensive damage or severe alignment issues. During a consultation, our team will assess your needs and recommend the best solution for you.
How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding can last anywhere from 3 to 10 years, depending on factors like your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices. Avoiding habits such as biting nails, chewing ice, or smoking can help prolong the life of your bonded teeth. Regular dental check-ups will also keep your bonding in top shape.
Does dental bonding require special care?
No special care is needed for bonded teeth. Just follow good oral hygiene practices—brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. It’s also wise to avoid foods and drinks that can stain, like coffee, red wine, and dark berries, to keep your bonding looking fresh and bright.
