You can eat and drink normally after dental bonding, but we caution you to make wise choices. For example, don’t use your teeth or dental work to bite into hard objects like ink pens or ice. Also, with bonding, you want to be mindful of staining. The same foods that stain your teeth can discolor the bonding composite material.
Staining foods and drinks can include:
- Bright or pigmented juice, wine, and sauce
- Coffee and tea
- Curry and turmeric
- Tobacco and smoking
What Is Dental Bonding?
Using composite resin, the same material found in tooth-colored fillings, your dentist can conceal tooth flaws like chips, cracks, and discoloration.
Composite is a pliable material that can be applied in layers or used to sculpt and fill. It is an ideal way to affordably improve an unsightly tooth.
After concealing the tooth imperfection, the dentist uses a dental light to set or firm the material. Then, it is ready for a final polish.
Composite resin can be colored to match your smile.
