My dentist suggested dental bonding, which he said he&#8217;s done to close gapped teeth.  He ground down the overlapping teeth and filled in the teeth which were set back.  He made them yellow to match my other teeth but I was hoping to get them a little whiter as I planned to whiten my other teeth. The teeth he ground down feel sharp and uncomfortable and I&#8217;m just not happy with these results.

This is to show you that dental bonding can create beautiful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What it boils down to is your dentist was in over his head. While he may have closed a few gaps, the type of dental bonding your case required was much more advanced. My guess is only about 2% of cosmetic dentists can do it correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if your dentist will be willing to give you a refund so you can get this done correctly elsewhere, but you can ask.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the color of your teeth. Your dentist should have warned you if you were going to whiten them, you&#8217;d need to do it before having the bonding done. <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-teeth-whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Teeth whitening (opens in a new tab)\">Teeth whitening<\/a> only works on natural tooth structure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your teeth are whitened, then a skilled cosmetic dentist will match the bonding to your new color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding a Skilled Cosmetic Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smile makeovers and advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-tooth-bonding.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"dental bonding cases (opens in a new tab)\">dental bonding cases<\/a>, such as yours, aren&#8217;t taught in dental school. Because of that, you want a dentist who has invested in post-doctoral training in cosmetic dental work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to technical knowledge, you want a dentist who has an artistic eye. This is especially true with dental bonding because it has to be done free-hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One useful resource is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"mynewsmile.com website (opens in a new tab)\">mynewsmile.com website<\/a>.
