Quick answers to your questions
What happens after 5 years of composite bonding?
Composite bonding typically lasts 5–7 years with proper care. Over time, it may wear down, chip, or discolour slightly. At that point, it can be polished, repaired, or replaced to maintain its appearance and functionality.
Can you eat an apple with bonded teeth?
Yes, you can eat an apple with bonded teeth, but it’s best to do so carefully. While bonding is durable, it’s not as strong as natural enamel, so biting into hard foods directly could risk damage. Cutting harder foods into smaller pieces is always a safer option.
Can I do composite bonding myself?
No, composite bonding is a highly skilled dental procedure that requires professional expertise. Attempting to do it yourself could result in damage to your teeth or gums and is not safe or effective.
Can I bite into things with composite bonding?
Yes, you can bite into most foods with bonded teeth, but it’s wise to avoid extremely hard or sticky items, such as ice cubes or caramel, as they can chip or dislodge the bonding material.
Can you whiten bonded teeth?
No, traditional whitening treatments don’t work on composite bonding. If your bonded teeth become discoloured, your dentist can polish them or replace the bonding material to match your natural teeth.
