Dental bonding or veneers?

the second tooth up top on the right side is pushed in and back- but straight- enough to bother my and be really noticed. im going in to get a evaluation on getting it fixed but want to do some research before hand- is this type of thing more of a candidate for bonding or veneers- i assume bonding will build up the surface to be more level with the other two teeth and a veneer can't do that.





any info? thanks!

Dental bonding or veneers?
Both bonding and veneers can do that. Each has their pluses and minuses..





Bondings are quick to do (1 visit) and is very conservative (usually just requires roughing up the enamel to prep the surface to bond to), but generally not as durable as veneers and sometimes may stain depending on the filling material used and how it's polished.





Veneers are usually more durable and will be quite stain resistant (it's glazed, smooth porcelain), but takes two or more visits and requires shaving some enamel off the tooth.





Your dentist will be able to give you a more detailed explanation so you can make a decision.





Good luck, whichever you choose.
Reply:Looks like it's going to be veneers...4 of them to make the fix on the one tooth look real. expensive.





one thing has me on the fence..they have to drill away some of the tooth structure in order to get it ' set ' in position proper again- then add the veneer. anyone go through THAT? Report It

Reply:I had composite bonding done on my 4 front teeth about 2 years ago. I havent had one problem with them. If you get the bonding it cost less also. I would recommend the bonding. When they do the bonding all they do is put like a paste on your tooth then shape the tooth out and then put a little blue light on the tooth to heat it up and make the paste set. It is not painful at all. When I went in I thought it was going to be extremely painful but it wasnt at all. But you should defiantly get on yahoo or google and do a picture search under composite bonding and you can see before and after pictures of it.
