Jay Neuhaus, DDS · Answer

It all depends on how much, if any, enamel was removed by the dentist prior to the bonding. If too much was removed, then you cannot totally remove the bonding without feeling sensitivity and having a "dull" finish. If you see a dentist that is very skilled at cosmetic bonding, he can probably give you exactly the look you want.

The easy answer to your question is it depends on how much enamel was removed before the bonding was started.  In some cases not at all and in other more than is needed.  Hard to answer your question.

Gordon Chee, DDS · Answer

Assuming that no tooth structure was removed to place the bonding (which it shouldn't have), then the bonding should be fairly simple to remove restoring your teeth to their original state.  The bonding just needs to be removed carefully to avoid damage to the underlying enamel
