Can You Get Dental Bonding Without Removing or Changing Your Crown?

August 7, 2012
Asked By:7yearsOFbraces

My question is that, can you get dental bonding without removing or changing your crown? I want to close the gaps between my teeth, but my dentist says that I have to change the shape of my crown, but since my crown plays a role of a tooth, cant the bonding change the shape of the crown itself?
