In fact, it\u2019s so quick and simple that you might be wondering how long your treatment results will actually last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured, while dental bonding won\u2019t last forever, it is a reliable restoration that can go the distance if you care for it well. To learn all about it, just keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Average Lifespan of Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the average lifespan for dental bonding is five to 10 years. Over time, daily wear and tear can cause it to discolor or chip, so you\u2019ll need a touch-up at some point. That said, some patients do enjoy their bonding for more than 10 years! By brushing twice daily, flossing once per day, and avoiding bad dental habits (nail biting, crunching on ice, using your teeth as tools, etc.), you can promote the longevity of your bonding\u2019s aesthetics and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Factors That Can Impact Your Bonding\u2019s Longevity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should know that there are other special circumstances that can impact how well your bonding holds up over time. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The location of your bonding<\/strong> makes a difference. If it\u2019s sculpted towards the front of your tooth or near the edge, it may be more likely to chip or break.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A misaligned bite<\/strong> can change the way pressure is distributed across your pearly whites when you chew. The excess stress being exerted on your bonding can wear it down more quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bruxism<\/strong> (teeth grinding or clenching) can also cause premature wear for similar reasons. Fortunately, your dentist can reduce the pressure on your teeth with a customized nightguard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Few things last forever, but you can take comfort in the fact that dental bonding is resilient and designed for longevity. By keeping up with oral hygiene and avoiding poor dental habits, you can increase its lifespan and enjoy your seamless smile for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shelburnevillagedentistry.com\/meet-dr-maier.html\">Dr. Holly Maier<\/a> earned her dental degree from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and has been practicing dentistry for over 15 years.
