It can even be used to cover exposed roots. But tooth bonding isn&rsquo;t a permanent solution. How long bonding lasts depends on several factors.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Long Does Dental Bonding Last on Average?<\/span><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The average lifespan of bonding is anywhere from three to ten years. While that&rsquo;s a wide range, the duration primarily depends on how well you care for your teeth after the bonding process is complete. You might need to change a few habits to avoid damaging the bonding material prematurely. The good news is as long as you continue taking good care of your teeth, bonding can be replaced.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Should I Avoid Doing?<\/span><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While bonding might make your teeth look perfectly normal, it&rsquo;s not quite as durable as your teeth. This means making a few changes, such as:<\/span><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don&rsquo;t use your teeth as a tool to open packages.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Avoid biting down on overly hard foods, such as hard candies and apples (cut them up instead.)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stop biting your nails.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Avoid grinding your teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Limit acidic and sugary foods.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Limit foods known to stain (bonding materials stain faster than teeth.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common cause of worn-down teeth. While you might be able to stop the habit during the day,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/bruxism\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">sleep bruxism<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;is more difficult to resolve. If you&rsquo;re regularly grinding your teeth, talk to your dentist and doctor for solutions, such as medications and mouth guards.<\/span><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Can I Make Bonding Last Longer?<\/span><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dental bonding will eventually wear off, but you can make it last as long as possible by brushing twice daily and flossing once per day. Then, of course, see your dentist at least twice yearly for regular cleanings and to check your bonding.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Usually, bonding on your front teeth wears out sooner, especially since it may stain quicker and you bite more with your front teeth. Outside of staining, be mindful of how it feels when you bite down to ensure nothing has come loose. If something doesn&rsquo;t feel right, call your dentist immediately.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another option is to think about getting&nbsp;veneers. These last longer, about seven to 15 years, but they do cost more. However, you&rsquo;ll want to take the same precautions with veneers to make them last as long as possible.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Want to learn more about dental bonding and whether it&rsquo;s the right choice for you?&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedentalplace.net\/contact.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Contact The Dental Place today<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;to make an appointment.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dental bonding is a great way to improve the appearance of chipped, worn, or damaged teeth.
