Absolutely! If you are doing home whitening, whiten until you feel you have achieved what you want. Then do the bonding. If you whiten before the bonding, and the bonding is whiter than your teeth, then you can try whitening some more. But it’s better to do the whitening before the bonding.
Yes, so the bonding color can match the new, whiter shade of your teeth.
If the bonding is on an esthetic area, then yes
It is best to always whiten teeth prior to doing your bonding. However, you should stop whitening teeth for at least two weeks prior to your dental appt as the whitening material may weaken the bonding process
Yes, the bonding material will not whiten with the enamel of your teeth
Yes, it will give you a stable color. I would use the crest white stripes first then get the bonding
Yes, absolutely. However, you can't bond to teeth that have been whitened within the last ten days.
Yes, you should whiten wait 2 weeks. Then do bondings.
Yes it is advised.
Yes, whitening should be done prior to doing any type of cosmetic bonding. We will match the bonding material to the shade of your teeth. Whiten until you're happy with the shade and then come in for the procedure.
Yes. Once placed, bonding will not whiten. It is best to whiten first and then match the new color with the bonding.

Yes, if you want whiter teeth and the bonding to match the shade of your teeth afterwards.
If you want to get composite restorations on front teeth then it’s better to whiten the teeth first because you can’t whiten the fillings later
Yes, that way your dentist can match the shade of the fillings perfectly.
