I have dental bonding that is looking pretty rough. My dentist told me that once it is made, I won’t be able to get them any whiter than they were when I made them. What I am wondering is if I could get them as white as they were when I first got them? Will teeth whitening work that way? <\/p>\n

Dear Evie, <\/p>\n

Teeth whitening<\/a> does not work on dental bonding. In fact, it doesn’t work on any dental work. What it does work on is natural tooth structure. <\/p>\n

You didn’t mention how long you’ve had the bonding. It’s only designed to last a few years. Then, it will need to be replaced. If you’re looking for something more permanent, I would look at porcelain veneers<\/a>. These can last a lifetime if well cared for. Though, they are much more expensive up front. <\/p>\n

If money is an issue for replacing them, then you could see if the dentist can polish them up a bit with a special diamond polishing kit. If that doesn’t work enough, your best bet is to wait and save up. Don’t look for a discount. That will end up not looking the way you want it. There are certain procedures you do not want to just go with the cheapest dentist for. Bonding is one of them. <\/p>\n
