If you want to fix a wonky front smile, you are probably wondering which material will keep its brightness the longest. People ask me all the time whether bonding or crowns resist discolouration over the years.
The reality of bonding colour stability:
Bonding is basically hardened dental putty. It looks brilliant when fresh, but resin absorbs dark liquids like a sponge. After a few years of black coffee and curry, the composite edges begin to yellow, needing a routine buffing.
How ceramic crowns resist stains:
Ceramic crowns act just like a glass window. Liquids cannot seep into the glaze, so everyday meals never leave yellow stains on your smile.
