If I don't like my tooth bonding results, can I still get veneers after it's worn off?

Question

I'm getting my top two teeth bonded next week because I cannot afford veneers but if I don't like the results of the bonded teeth, would I be able to still get veneers down the road since bonding is reversible and only temporary?

It will not be a problem to have porcelain veneers placed if you are not happy with the bonding.  It would only take an additional two appointments to make this transition.

The answer is yes! You can do veneers after dental bonding. But maybe it is better depending on your needs to have the veneers done from get go. There is different indications for veneers and bonding.
Depending on your bite and depending on your dietary habit, and the extent of dental bonding procedure, the treatment can last a long time.

Hi, thanks for sending your question. You should know that if you end up in the future wanting to have veneers done it would be fine, and the bonding can be removed and veneers placed over your teeth. All the best.

Hi:Normally when you get a bonding, you can still get a veneer if you are not happy with the results.  If the enamel of he tooth is not touched then the bonding can be taken off without much damage to the tooth.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Yes you could get Veneers  if you don't like the way your bonding looks. You do not have to wait until they wear off, you could get them at any time. In our office before we place bonding on a tooth,  we place a trial bond so the patient can see what the final result will look like. If they do not like it, then we do not proceed with the  permanent  bonding.  If they like it, then we place the permanent bonding as the patient knows how it will look  and that they will like it. 
Bonding can be removed at any time. Usually bonding can be done without any removal of tooth structure. In this case it is a totally reversible procedure. Porcelain veneers usually require preparation of the teeth and are and excellent option if you do not like the way  your bonded tooth appears.
