The lifespan of your dental work varies and depends on the type of restoration, the materials used, and your oral hygiene habits. At Rocktown Family Dental Care, we provide high-quality dentistry, including using top-of-the-line materials to ensure the longevity and durability of all dental work.
Average Lifespan of Dental Work
Fillings — Tooth-colored composite fillings generally last between 10 to 15 years. Dr. Anderson always opts for the highest quality materials to provide long-lasting, natural-looking solutions.
Bonding — On average, dental bonding can last 5–7 years if you care for your teeth properly and avoid habits that can damage the bonding material.
Porcelain veneers — Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the fronts of teeth to improve their appearance. With proper care, veneers can last between 10 to 20 years before needing replacement.
Dental crowns — Dental crowns restore the shape, size, and function of damaged teeth. We use premium materials like zirconia and porcelain, and the average lifespan ranges from 10 to 20 years.
Bridges — Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth and can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
Dental implants — Implants are a more permanent tooth replacement because they are placed surgically into the jawbone. Dental implants can last 25 years or even a lifetime when properly maintained.
