Depends: Dental bonds can last a very long time 20+ years or they can last a few hours. There are a lot of factors that can influence bond strength and integrity so in order to try and answer you more accurately it would be helpful to know which teeth/surfaces have been bonded. When the term bonding alone is used it usually means the anterior teeth. 2-3 years is ok but again it depends on many factors.

It can vary: Depending on location of the bonding, the size, patients occlusion, habits, etc. There is no fixed time life per se. I have patients with bondings (that may be discolored ...) that might have been there 10 -15 years plus, but are still functional with no recurrent decay, so we leave them alone. Others in 2 or 3 years might need to be replaced because they chipped, broke. Hope this helps.

Bonding age: Dental fillings that are bonded are quoted as lasting 7-10 years. They can last longer depending on how well you take care of them, and where they are positioned in the mouth. I have some fillings in patients that have been in place for 20 years. Conversely if your diet consists of red bull and snickers bars they won't last long.

Depends: There are so many factors involved with longevity from your oral hygiene, homecare, diet, bruxism, clenching/grinding habits, your bite, the depth and extension of your existing bonding/filling, was it done with rubber dam on (posterior)--back.. They all play a role in long-term outcomes.

Depends: It depends on the materials properties, the bonding agent, the skill of the dentist and the patient. It can range to a few days to a over 20 years.
