Which one is better?

Question:

Are veneers better, or getting teeth bonded? I have two small teeth next to my two front teeth. But I want to get veneers so that my teeth will look all the way correct. If I were to get a bonding, I'd only get the two small teeth filled into full, normal teeth. So could someone tell me which is better?

Answers:
It sounds like you are talking about peg shaped laterals. The space may not be enough to fit a normal sized tooth in there.

That is an ideal case for porcelain Veneers.

This is what we did for our patient. While she was in braces we made tiny composite veneers that we cemented in temporarily while the orthodontist aligned the remaining teeth. This gave her an idea of what the final product would look like and gave the orthodontist a reference point, from which he could see the end point of treatment. Upon completion of the orthodontics, we had the lab fabricate the permanent veneers. Actually they were not veneers but a hybrid some where between crowns and veneers. They were prep-less meaning we had to take the impressions only we did not alter the shape of the pegged laterals. But when the crowns went on they looked perfectly natural.

with the bonder over time the color of it seems to turn yellow.i would go with veneers they seem to have a better effect on people's months.they may coast more though.but you should talk to someone who has got it done before

Get the best you can afford. Any Dentist can tell you which is best for YOU.

You probaly could ask your dentist and they would probaly know what would be better for you.But either way their going to make your teeth look good.

i'll start by saying that depends on your hygiene. if you are a flosser then you should go with the higher dollar, much prettier porcelain veneers. if you don't floss, then whatever gets put there is going to fail in a few years so don't waste a couple grand on veneers. the composite bonding is cheaper and doesn't last as long and doesn't look as good. if you let it go you won't feel like you wated money until you've had it replace 3 times in 10 years.
