Should I Get My Teeth Whitened Before My Bonding Work?
Q.
Hello Dr, my question is one of a purely cosmetic nature, so not particularly urgent. Basically, three of my front teeth are chipped (1 on top and 2 on the bottom (tiny ridges). I am going in for cosmetic bonding but before I go in for bonding, they suggested I get my teeth zoomed. Should I get them zoomed or should I get the strips? My teeth are not really dull in color but it will just give me a brighter smile with the new bonded teeth. My teeth are not very sensitive and I can’t afford veneers. Just wondering what you would say is the best option for me now because I don’t particularly want to be paying more money than I need to.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your query. I think that your dentist is advising you of this in order to avoid any potential future complications. As a dentist I know that it’s always better to whiten teeth before the bonding as the bonding cant be whitened. So if you wanted to get them whitened in the future without having the Zoom done first then there would be difficulties.
