Once the bonding has been done, it has a smooth, polished finish that looks much like natural dental enamel. Over time, it can also stain like dental enamel. Unfortunately, its nonporous finish will not respond to whitening the same way teeth do. If you whiten your teeth, you may end up with multicolored results because your bonded teeth will remain the color of the bonding while your natural teeth will lighten in shade.
If the contrasting results are quite noticeable, you can have the bonding redone in a lighter color to better match your whitened teeth. With good dental care and periodic touch-ups, you can keep your smile white and attractive for many years.
