Can front teeth be bonded?

Composite bonding is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures today. It can repair chips in teeth, close gaps, or change the color or shape of a tooth. Composite bonding is possible on any tooth, even the front teeth, and can be performed on multiple teeth simultaneously.

Composite Bonding on the Front Teeth

Bonding is a great option for closing gaps between the front teeth. Compound bonding can last four to eight years with proper care, such as regular brushing and flossing. However, bonding on the front teeth may require more upkeep than the back teeth because the front teeth are exposed daily while speaking and eating.

Caring for Composite Bonding

The strength of the bonding depends on the health of the front teeth. The resin used for bonding wears down with time and will eventually need to be repaired or replaced. The life of composite bonds can be extended by refraining from:

• Nail-biting

• Teeth-grinding

• Chewing ice and hard food

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also crucial in maintaining this dental work.

Benefits of Composite Bonding

Composite bonding holds many benefits for patients:

• Unlike veneers, dental bonding is usually reversible.

• The procedure is often painless.

• It is more affordable than other options.

• The results are immediate.
