The resin material that is used in the procedure is easily prone to pick up stains and discolouration compared to other materials used in modern dentistry. But on the positive stride this should not be much of a problem if you take good care of your teeth and maintain sound dental hygiene as well as lifestyle. It is better to stay away from excessive indulgence of red wine, smoking (or any other form of tobacco consumption) coffee and tea and then your composite bonded teeth will not pick up stains that easily.
The resin material that is used is not as strong and durable as your natural tooth structure and thus it could chip or break if you are little cautious about its maintenance. Avoid hard foods like certain types of nuts, candies and others. Do not chew on ice cubes either, stop biting nails with the teeth, no more opening beer bottles with the teeth and then chances are high that your composite bonded tooth will last longer.
