It&#8217;s been a few years and I&#8217;ve moved. The bonding has worn out and started chipping. \u00a0My new dentist said I really need to get porcelain crowns to fix the teeth. I know I am not a dentist, but that seems like a real overtreatment.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis M.- New Mexico<\/p>\n<p>Alexis,<\/p>\n<p>Your gut instinct is right. Though, I am a little confused as to why your previous dentist did bonding to whiten your teeth. Why not just do professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a>? \u00a0Is there something specifically wrong with your case? Have you had root canals on those teeth? Are they tetracycline stained?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do, don&#8217;t do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\/traditional-crown-bridge.html\">porcelain crowns<\/a>. In order to fit crowns over your teeth, they will have to be ground down almost to stubs. Why do that to healthy teeth?<\/p>\n<p>IF there is some reason why you can&#8217;t just do teeth whitening, it is very possible you can have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> placed on the teeth. I recommend you have an expert cosmetic dentist look at your teeth and give their recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myoklahomacitydentist.com\/\">Oklahoma City Dentist<\/a> Dr. Don Swearingen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had some dental bonding done on two of my front teeth in order to whiten my teeth.
