Many patients wonder whether dental bonding is a permanent solution, but whether, after time, the composite starts to crumble, crack or fall off. On the Internet, one can find many conflicting opinions ranging from admiration to criticism. Why the differences?

At Unident Union Wrocław, we have been performing dental bonding for 25 years and we know very well that the durability of this method depends not only on the material, but above all on the appropriate preparation of the patient, the bite analysis and the precision of execution.



Facts - what does the sustainability of bonding really depend on?

1. Analysis of occlusal function before bonding

The most common cause of bonding fracture and detachment is a lack of bite analysis.
At Unident Union, we precede every bonding:
- evaluation of the relationship of the maxilla to the mandible,
- analysis of bite contacts,
- checking the function of the temporomandibular joints.

Why? Because bonding interferes with bite height, contact points and chewing function. If these elements are not taken into account, the composite will be overloaded and will quickly peel off.

2. the health of the gums and teeth

Bonding should never be applied to teeth with untreated decay, inflamed gums or other outbreaks of disease. Healthy gums (pale pink, non-bleeding) and treated teeth are a prerequisite for durability.

3. workmanship technique and quality of materials

At Unident Union, we work exclusively:
- on the highest quality new generation of aesthetic composites,
- under dry field conditions,
- using the best binding systems.

The layering technique, correct curing and diligence are the keys to success.



Myths about dental bonding

MIT 1: Bonding always peels off after a few years

➡️ Not true. Properly done bonding, on healthy teeth and with correct bite analysis, lasts up to 8-10 years, and often longer.

MIT 2: Bonding is not suitable for posterior teeth

➡️ Not true. As long as the bite is well designed, bonding can also be used on posterior teeth - restoring worn surfaces or improving chewing function.

MIT 3: Bonding falls off suddenly and cannot be repaired

➡️ Not true. Even if a tooth becomes chipped (e.g. with mechanical trauma), bonding can be repaired quickly and easily.

Comparison of durability - bonding versus porcelain veneers

Composite bonding:
- durability: 5-10 years (with possibility of modification, repair),
- without grinding the teeth,
- easy to correct if necessary.

Porcelain veneers:
- durability: 10-15 years,
- require grinding of the glaze,
- more difficult to repair - often replacing the entire veneer.

At Unident Union, we decide on the method to be used after an analysis of the bite and consultation with the patient.

1. Does tooth bonding peel off easily?
Not if done correctly, taking into account occlusion and dental health.
2. what to do if the bonding crumbles?
It can be repaired quickly and without problems at Unident Union.
3. how long does the bonding last?
On average 8-10 years, but it all depends on the occlusal conditions and the care of the patient.
4. does the bonding need to be replaced from time to time?
There is no need for replacement, as long as it retains aesthetics and function - it can be modified.

Bottom line - bonding sustainability starts with diagnostics

Tooth bonding is a permanent method, provided:
- It is preceded by an occlusal analysis,
- the patient has healthy gums and healed teeth,
- The treatment is carried out with precision, using appropriate materials.

At Unident Union Wrocław, we take care of each of these elements, so our patients can enjoy a beautiful and safe smile for years to come.
