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…

Dental Bonding Doesn’t Match My Whitened Teeth
Hi, I got my teeth whitened in October and waited until the color stabilized before whitening them again. I did everything my dentist told me to do.

Should I Replace Dental Bonding with Veneers?
After having bonding on four front teeth since 2001, my dentist wants to replace the Lumineers because he says it’s easier. I am not sure what makes veneers easier, though. The bonding is yellowing. It didn’t help that I whitened my teeth and home and made the bonding more noticeable. I know Lumineers are supposed…

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…

Smile Makeover Disaster
I need some serious advice. I went to my dentist with the intent of having my cleaning done and then getting a recommendation for an orthodontist. My four upper front teeth are crooked. He said he could make them straight with cosmetic dentistry and I would not have to worry about the inconvenience of braces.…

Tetracycline Teeth and No Money
I have tetracycline stains on my teeth. I had dental bonding placed on my teeth but they are old and chipping. I can’t afford the porcelain veneers my dentist thinks I should get. Is there a whitening option that will work for me? Or if there are ways to get porcelain veneers cheaper than my…
