How long will my thin teeth bonding last

Q. My dentist just applied bonding to the back of my front teeth. They feel thinner and now I am worried they will break easily. Also, I worry as to how long the bonding will last. If the bonding wears off, what do you do then. I dont want caps. I dont know why he chose to do this procedure. My teeth are pretty and white. Maybe because I am 59 yrs old and perhaps he thought this would help preserve them. Is this a mistake of my life? Am I headed toward more espensive procedures?

A. This is difficult to answer as there can be many reasons for bonding teeth.  If you are concerned please contact your dentist to voice your concerns

My 20yr old daughter chose to pay to have her front teeth bonded for aesthetic reasons. Her natural teeth were strong and healthy with slight irregularities. She now regrets it. She feels they protrude in her mouth and she wants her old teeth back. I think the bonding is fine, but she wants to know if the bonding wears off will her own teeth ever recover?
