The composite resin can stain and chip so don’t bite down on hard objects, like ice, hard candy, pens, and fingernails, and brush your teeth right after eating. Teeth that have been bonded and contoured need to be cleaned just like natural teeth with daily flossing and brushing. Professional dental cleanings at Sunshine Dental can help to polish away stains from the composite resin. With good care, bonding and contouring may last as long as ten years. At your dental exam, our team will help you determine if the cosmetic bonding and contouring procedure needs to be done again to maintain your appearance.
