Let’s discuss composite bonding …
If you have composite bonding, or you’re thinking about having it done, there are a few things you need to know about keeping it looking beautiful for as long as possible.
HYGIENE
First, your oral hygiene really matters. Daily flossing or interdental cleaning is essential to help prevent gum disease and decay around your teeth and bonding. Regular dental and hygiene appointments are important too.
DIET & HABITS
Tea, coffee, red w**e, turmeric drinks,smoking and va**ng can contribute to staining over time. And try not to use your teeth as tools chewing ice, biting hard objects or biting your nails can cause chips or fractures.
GRINDING
If you clench or grind your teeth, this can put additional forces on your bonding. Your bite is also important, and where appropriate, a professionally prescribed nightguard can help protect your teeth and bonding.
MAINTENANCE
And remember composite bonding is not permanent. Over time, it may develop staining, wear, loss of gloss, chips or fractures, and it may need polishing, maintenance, repair or replacement.
With good care and regular maintenance, you can help your composite bonding stay beautiful for longer.
Your smile is an investment please look after it. 🤍
