You can use it but you won’t get any result except that it may remove some staining
yes
Bonding will not bleach. The color of the bonding will remain constant. Only natural tooth structure will respond to the bleaching solution.
Bondings won’t get affected by whitening strips. Teeth will get lighter, but not the bondings. Their color will not change.
Yes, you can. They have no effect on the bonded teeth though, so you are throwing your money away. If you want to do the most effective whitening, see your dentist for a custom tray. The over-the-counter products or online ordering is not worth it, sorry.
Whitening strips will not affect the shade of bonded teeth.
Yes, you can, however, the tooth around the restoration can lighten up. The restoration bonded to the tooth will not. If you are trying to lighten a tooth to match a lighter restoration, that may be possible. If you want to lighten the teeth, then redo previous restorations that can be an option as well.
Yes, but typically the bonding will not change colors much, if at all.
No, whitening will not work on bonded portion of the teeth or crowns.
You can use them but only the tooth structure will whiten
