Bonding vs Veneers/crown? Which option would be the best for the long term? How strong is dental bonding on a front tooth?

I always try to be conservative in my treatment recommendations so will opt for veneers over crowns if possible.  It depends on amount of tooth structure remaining.  Bonding is not used as much in my practice.  It will cip and stain faster than porcelain.  Think of bonding is tupperware and porcelain veneers and crowns are fine china.  Veneers will also stay the same color and not chnge with time.

 

 

What everyone will agree on is that there is nothing better than natural tooth structure.  Considering that you are only 23 and that any restoration will need to be replaced at least once in your lifetime.  I suggest that you find a dentist that will give you the result that you are happy with while treating the least number of teeth possible.  Ask the dentist for before and after photos of his/her work and discuss all options.  Hope that helps.
