Tooth Bonding

What is Teeth Bonding?

Bonding is an alternative to crowns and veneers that is cost-effective. If you are interested in tooth bonding, your dentist will apply a tooth-colored composite resin to one or more of your teeth.

Benefits of Tooth Bonding

Teeth bonding has many benefits including:

• It can help repair chipped or cracked teeth while preventing future damage
• Bonding can fix gaps in teeth
• Tooth bonding can conceal discoloration
• Bonding can change your tooth shape to match the rest of your smile

How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?

Bonding on the front teeth can last between 4 and 8 years, but it may need to be replaced in as little as 3 and as many as 10 years depending on the bond's location, your bite, and your eating habits.

After the 8-year mark, your dentist will assess the bonding site to determine if the bond needs to be replaced, retouched, or if it is fine as is.
