Bonded teeth, like natural teeth, may chip and stain. You should avoid chewing on ice, fingernails, popcorn kernels, hard candy and other items. And you should watch your consumption of such staining substances as coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco.
Beyond that, you should follow normal hygiene procedures - brush and floss regularly. With proper care, bonding should last 5-8 years, if not longer. If the bonded tooth does chip or discolor over time, it can easily be rebonded.
