Bonding done on my two front teeth recently. In less than a month I noticed a yellow stain on one of my teeth and a "scratchy" look and feel to it. I made another appointment but the dentist just buffed the stained and said without a full set of x-rays he couldn't tell me anything. Also charged me for an office visit. I understand he needs to be paid, but I can't afford to get everything done at once. After second visit, it's happening again; hasn't even been 2 weeks. Afraid to go back there!

Answer: Bonding Wearing Off in a Month if Cosmetic Bonding is not treatment planned and executed with proper skill, yes it can fail in a month. It is very understandable that you cannot do all your dentistry at once, but there should be an overall game plan, and then execute the plays in the proper order. Perhaps an unstable bite is putting too much pressure on the bonding, and needs to be corrected first? You should have a complete set of X-rays and a complete exam and case presentation by an experienced Cosmetic Dentist. Then decide in what stages you wish to proceed.

Answer: Bonding Bonding should not be wearing off this quickly if it is done correctly. If you are unhappy with the work done by your dentist, seek out a new dentist that can do a better job for you. Before you commit to treatment, ask to see some before and after pictures of anterior bonding. Make sure you discuss what you and the dentist are responsible for if the bonding does break or stain. If you find the right dentist, they will stand by their work and correct it for you if it fails prematurely.
