No, you can\u2019t really whiten composite bonding with normal whitening treatments \u2014 they just don\u2019t work on that material. The resin doesn\u2019t react to bleaching, so if you bleach your teeth only your real teeth will get lighter. That means the bonded bits can end up looking mismatched, and honestly, it looks a bit off.<\/p>\n
