Can bonding be bleached or whitened? My two front teeth were both bonded about 12 years ago and are now noticeably more yellow than my natural teeth.

Unfortunately, bonded fillings can not be bleached or whitened. Should you choose to bleach your teeth anyway, I often will recommend completing the bleaching process, waiting 2-3 weeks or more for the final color of your teeth to become established, then replace any necessary fillings for the perfect smile.
