Dental bonding is a durable and long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile, typically lasting between 3 to 10 years, depending on your oral habits and the location of the bonding. To maintain your dental bonding and extend its lifespan, follow these tips:
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Chewing on hard objects like ice or pens can damage the bonding material.
- Limit Staining Foods and Drinks: Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can stain the resin material over time. Try to consume these in moderation and rinse your mouth with water afterward.
- Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit us at Waterford & Clarkston Dentistry for routine cleanings and examinations. We can check the condition of your dental bonding and perform any necessary touch-ups.
