How to Remove Stains From Dental Bonding

You may have dental bonding due to composite bonding or veneer bonding. Whatever the case, the composite and veneers are suppose to be stain resistant, although the bonding is not. Discoloration can happen when you eat or drink things such as coffee, red wine, or tea. Smoking also stains the bonding. A professional grade whitening toothpaste may remove stains from dental bonding. If that does not work, you may have to contact an accredited cosmetic dentist to help you remove the stains from your bonding.

  Use the toothpaste every day for two weeks. Experiment with the pressure you apply during brushing. If it causes pain, you are brushing too hard. At the end of this two-week period, examine your dental bonding to see if the stains have been reduced in color.
