Tooth Bonding an Option

A variety of options could work for you, including orthodontic treatments like Invisalign and porcelain veneers.Although veneers cost more, they are an effective and long-lasting way of making teeth look straighter without orthodontics.

Consider What Exactly Bothers You...

You do have several options for your smile. I always start my consultation with the question... What bothers you the most about your smile? Bonding and/or veneers will change size, shape, and color of your teeth in your smile line. Both could actually be very conservative as mentioned. Both procedures could be completed in 1 visit. Cost difference is about double between bonding and veneers. However, bonding will change color over time and will need to be... more

Can I do Bonding or Veneers

From the one photo you submitted I think you would be a candidate for bonding or veneers. Both could give you an excellent result and be done very conservatively as far as preserving your natural tooth structure.
