Is dental bonding reversible?

writeradmin | March 6, 2012

I had some dental bonding done on a front tooth, but I am unhappy with it. Is there a way I can have my dentist take it off and re-do it?

Bleaching bonding

writeradmin | December 23, 2011

I wonder if you can help me. Two of my front teeth have dental bonding on them that are about 15 years old. I know it is time to get them replaced, but my finances aren’t that great right now. I know that you cannot make dental bonding any whiter by bleaching them, but can [...]

One tooth is getting dark – what are my options?

Why won’t these brown spots respond to treatment?

kkzeluff | July 1, 2010

Even though I have always been really careful to take good care of my teeth, my front two teeth have always been ugly and discolored. They were OK before I lost my baby teeth, but my adult teeth came in with these brown stains that I just cannot get rid of.
I recently graduated from college, [...]

Can dental bonding be removed or reversed?

kkzeluff | March 21, 2010

I need to find out if my teeth will be damaged if I have some bonding work removed. I asked my regular dentist to fix the gap in my front teeth a couple of weeks ago, and I am so not happy with the results! My dentist did not seem very happy when I asked [...]
