What affects the life of composite bonding
Bite forces, tooth position, diet, grinding, cleaning and the extent of the bonding all influence how restorations perform. No single timescale can be promised for every patient.
Keeping bonded teeth looking their best
Regular brushing, sensible stain management, routine dental reviews and avoiding biting hard objects can support the appearance of your bonding. Some people benefit from a night guard.
Planning for future maintenance
Composite can sometimes be polished, repaired or refreshed, but it may eventually need replacement. Your dentist explains maintenance commitments before recommending treatment.
