Can’t Floss Between My Teeth After Getting Bonding for Black Triangles
After my dentist used bonding to close the black triangles between four teeth, I couldn’t floss between them. The bonding looks like a glob between my teeth—almost like the teeth are connected. The spaces developed while I was wearing Clear Correct braces. Is it even possible to correct the spaces with bonding? Thanks. Kolby from…

My Dental Bonding Is Tuning Yellow After Eight Months
Last December I got dental bonding on six upper front teeth. I’ve had bonding replaced on the front teeth four times in the past 15 years. The current bonding is yellowing. Can my dentist polish it, or should I find someone to replace the bonding? I know it shouldn’t yellow this fast. Thanks. Deonne Deonne,…

My Front Tooth Is Too Long After Getting Dental Bonding
My new dental bonding made one front tooth too long. Also, I didn’t match my teeth, so I asked my dentist to correct the color. I got the bonding because my two front teeth are chipped. Now, the bonding is whiter and has more texture than my teeth. One of my front teeth is longer…

Bonding Keeps Falling Off My Lower Front Chipped Tooth
My lower left right front tooth was chipped last October, and the bonding keeps falling off. My dentist can’t seem to secure it. The chip isn’t large, but it’s big enough to show when I smile. The bonding fell off four times. When it comes off, my tooth looks worse than it did without the…

New Bonding on Canine Teeth Is Yellow – How to Resolve It
I asked my dentist for bonding on my canine teeth because they were noticeably shorter than the teeth on either side. I also wanted my teeth whitened, so my dentist completed it last November before bonding. My appointment for bonding was in January. Although my dentist assured me that she would blend shades to match…

Fixing Splotchy Teeth
My teenager has always had thin tooth enamel. We tried to be very careful when she had braces. We seemed to avoid the splotchiness in all but her front two teeth. I’m glad her teeth are straight but these need to be dealt with. I’ve heard there is a procedure to fix it. Do you…

Dental Bonding Doesn't Match and Falls Off
I have tetracycline stains and my dentist said dental bonding would take care of it. It has not worked out at all like I wanted. First, the color doesn’t match and it is pretty obvious. Plus, you can still see some of the tetracycline stains through it. As if that weren’t bad enough, the bonding…

Dental Bonding Doesn't Match
I chipped a tooth after a fall. My dentist wanted to put a crown on the tooth, but I did some research and saw the best solution was dental bonding so I asked him to do that. He agreed, but the results aren’t that great. The colors don’t match so you can really tell it…

Dental Bonding Disaster
I had several teeth get have dental bonding done because of abfraction lesions. Before this (aside from the lesions) my smile was beautiful. Now, it looks darker, dull, and feels rough. Is it possible for this to be removed and re-done to where the teeth look natural or will it damage the underlying tooth to…

Dental Bonding Turning Yellow
I’ve had dental bonding for just a few days. I really liked how they looked, but they’ve started turning yellow. I can’t think of anything I’ve done to them except maybe the fact that I brush with baking soda. Is that a problem with bonding? Is it possible for me to whiten them? Karyn Dear…
