I have chipped my tooth at the front, Can I bleach before having tooth bonded?

Any expert dentist will advise you to have your teeth bleached and whitened to your desired color, then you can have your chips bonded. The catch is if the chip or fracture can get sensitive, or even cause damage to the tooth?!- It is best to have your mouth examined prior to teeth bleaching, to rule out any damage or further complications before you whiten your teeth.2- understand that teeth bleaching is not permanent, the color can revert back to your original color depending on many factors not limited to your dietary habit.3- You must STOP teeth bleaching at least 7 to 10 days before you get your dental bond or dental composite placed by your dentist.If the chip is not sensitive, small enough, and is not proximal to your pulp, I do not see any reason why you should not be able to whiten your teeth prior to have your tooth bonded.

Absolutely!  You should definitely whiten your teeth before bonding.  Give it a few days after the bleaching before having the bonding performed to make sure the color matches correctly.  Good luck.  

You can bleach first, But I would suggest waiting 3 days after you stop bleaching to do the bonding since the teeth will change back slightly when bleaching is completed.

Rebecca,If the chip is minor (not causing and discomfort or sensitivity) I would recommend whitening prior to having it repaired as the restoration will be made according to your present tooth color.  I always ask my patients if they are happy with their tooth color prior to doing any cosmetic work, because once the restorations are placed you are married to that color (bonding/porcelain will not lighten with whitening).Hope that helps!Sarah Jebreil, DDS AAACD
