If you’re thinking about composite bonding, one of the first things you’ll wonder is how long it will last. At Our Clinic Dental, our cosmetic bonding treatments are designed to repair cracked, worn, or chipped teeth, with results that can last between 3 and 10 years with proper care. This means your smile stays flawless for several years before it needs a touch-up. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that you’ll need to do your part to reap the benefits for as long as possible.
Want to know how you can maximise the bonding material’s lifespan? Check out the tips below.
Just like real enamel, the resin material can darken when it’s exposed to staining substances, such as red wine, coffee, soda, and berries. By limiting your consumption of these items, you can keep the treated teeth looking bright for longer.
The dental bonding material can chip over time. To minimise the risk, avoid using the treated tooth to bite or chew on hard food. Also, avoid biting your nails, ice, or using your teeth as a tool for opening things.
Regular dental check-ups work wonders in prolonging the healthy appearance of the treated teeth. We recommend that you go for a repolishing treatment in our state-of-the-art clinic in Wigan, 12 to 18 months after your composite bonding treatment.
The treatment’s effect isn’t permanent. Eventually, the bonding material will show signs of wear and tear. Here are the things you should look out for.
If you notice cracks or chips on the resin of your dental implant, it’s time to have it checked so we can see if it needs to be repaired or replaced. Doing so can help maintain the affected tooth’s healthy appearance.
Do the edges of the treated area feel rough, sharp, or uneven? It may be time for a repair or replacement so it’s safer and more comfortable to use.
When the material starts to darken or turn yellowish, it could mean that the implant’s strength is compromised. These are signs that repairs or a replacement may be due.
