Q. I have had chipped front teeth for about 10 years (since I was 8) The dentist ask me if I would like bonding done he said it would be a 8.lBl (what ever that means) he said he would bond one tooth and smooth out the other front tooth. I am asking if I go through with it can I use whitening strips and lets say the bonding “comes off” would my underlying tooth be like it was before I got the bonding?
