Price to Have 8 Teeth Bonded?
All I need is the top 8 teeth bonded. They are yellow, gap and 1 twisted tooth. I want pearl white pretty teeth. Mother took tricycline while she was pregnant with me. I have always been ashamed of my teeth. Do have dental insurance.

To bond or not to bond
Please go and visit a cosmetic dentist. For the issues you mentioned, Bonding may not be a feasible solution for you. Sounds to me you may have to look into veneers if you like a better and longer lasting solution.

Veeners vs Bonding
Bonding your teeth due to tetracycline might not be the best option for you. You should have a consultation with your dentist to discuss veneers which over all would be the best solution. Bonding material discolors overtime & would need to be changed .

Bonding for Tetracycline stained teeth
Before porcelain veneers, we used bonding for darker stained teeth. Bonding material is porcelain and plastic which is bonded to the front of your teeth to change shape or color. It will stain and gets dull rather quickly. Your teeth under the bonding may be able to be bleached with Kor or porcelain veneers or Lumineers placed. Search for a cosmetic dentist in your area and set up a consultation.

Look into Invisalign and Veneers or Kor Whitening
Tetracycline stains are deep in the tooth and are challenging for patients and their dentists.

Dental bonding normally not satisfying
Cases where dental bonding is a "success" are when the condition is minor to start. Minor chips, gaps or length can be well done with bonding. If teeth are rotated, discolored, have several gaps and more, then the investment to bond will likely be met with remorse.
Porcelain veneers, whether minimal prep or not, are normally a better investment. Color control is better, they are stronger, more color stable, and can correct misalignments much better...

You may need veneers.
Have a consultation with a dentist in your area. From what you described you may not be a candidate for bonding. It sounds like a veneer case to me. Bonding most likely will not permanently fix the problems you unhappy with. Porcelain veneers may be a better long term solution for you.
