Will composite dental bonding last for a long time?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I want to ask whether composite dental bonding is durable or if I bite a mutton stew or chicken leg piece, it will come out? Is it for a lifetime? If it dismantles anyway, is it freely replaceable or I need to pay again? Also, I have heard that laser treatment leads to early fall of adult teeth in the late 50s. Is it so?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Yes, you can eat whatever you want to eat, there is no issue of chewing. Make sure you do not eat any hard substance for the first 24 hours. After that, you can eat mutton or chicken anytime. Better is to go with the best possible restoration provided by your dentist. Less expensive fillings are also available these days but their efficiency is not too good.

No, laser curing composite does not affect your teeth or make them prone to fall. If the fillings fall or come out, it will be replaced by your dentist free provided it falls early, if it falls after two or three years it may not be replaced without charges.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

My opinion is to visit an endodontist in case of filling or oral surgeon in case of surgery.
