How long does cosmetic bonding last?

With normal care, bonding typically holds up well for several years before it may need a touch-up or replacement.

Bonding is reversible; veneers require a small amount of enamel reshaping, so they’re considered a long-term commitment.

Good cosmetic work is quiet — it reads as confidence, not as a procedure. We start by listening to what bothers you about your smile, then use whitening, bonding, or veneers to close that gap without overcorrecting.

Is this right for me?

Signs it might be time

A chipped, worn, or unevenly shaped front tooth
Gaps or minor crowding you’d rather not brace for years
Discoloration that whitening alone hasn’t resolved
You’re camera-shy about your smile and want that to change

What to expect

Step by step

1
Smile consultation
We look at proportion, colour, and function together — not just the one tooth that’s bothering you.
2
A trial plan
For larger changes, you’ll see a mock-up or trial shape before anything permanent happens.
3
Careful execution
Bonding is sculpted by hand; veneers are shade-matched and fitted with minimal removal of healthy enamel.
4
A finish that lasts
Polishing and a bite check ensure the result feels as good as it looks.

Recovery & aftercare

Looking after it afterward

Avoid biting very hard or sticky foods directly on bonded edges for the first day
Regular checkups keep veneers and bonding looking their best for years
A night guard may be recommended if you grind your teeth
