It can: If the bonding was done for esthetic purposes, and didn't involve removing tooth structure, it can be completly removed and the tooth polished. If a cavity was present where the bonding was done, some of the resin will need to stay to cover the tooth.

Yes: Bonding on teeth can be removed this usually involves drilling the material away just like getting a filling. It will probably need replaced unless it was placed for purely cosmetic reasons.

Yes: Dental bonding commonly refers to the adhering of composite materials to the tooth structure. These composite materials can be removed safely with a resultant smooth surface. Depending on the situation other material may be recommended for replacing the removed composite.
