Q: Are porcelain veneers or bonding a better option for peg teeth?
A:
I actually prefer porcelain veneers over bonding for peg laterals. Especially if you have space on either side of the lateral. The most important step for you to take, though, is to make sure you have an experienced cosmetic dentist working for you. If your teeth are positioned properly, I can place veneers on your teeth without having to prep them (for example, using UltraVeneers). If you choose to go the bonding route, it's okay -- the bonding material is not as strong as the porcelain - and it will stain more readily...so your upkeep/maintenance will be more involved should you choose this route.
