How long does composite bonding last?
Quick answer
How long does composite bonding last?
With good care, composite bonding at York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet typically lasts 5 to 7 years before a polish, repair or replacement is due.
Lifespan depends on the tooth, your bite, grinding, and staining from coffee, tea or smoking. Fees start from £200 per tooth.
What you need to know
Bonding is resin, not porcelain. It can chip at the edges and pick up stain. That is the trade for a same-day, minimally invasive treatment that usually needs little or no enamel removed.
A night guard helps if you clench. Avoid using front teeth as tools. Hygiene visits keep the margins clean. When the time comes, bonding can often be refreshed rather than starting from scratch.
If you want a longer-lasting, more stain-resistant front-tooth change, porcelain veneers (from £850 per tooth) may suit better. Compare both on composite bonding and veneers.
