I chipped my front teeth from excessive nail biting, should I get bonding or file them? (Photos)

Mama2boys2018Oct 15, 2018
I found out a couple of years ago that my front teeth are chipped because of my lifelong nail biting habit. I stopped biting my nails a year ago and now I want to get my front teeth fixed. My dentist wants to file down my front incisors but I’m afraid of shortening my teeth. Would bonding be a better alternative? I don’t want to do veneers right now due to the high cost.

It's possible the stain can be polished out. But it looks more like a small piece of the bonding flaked off and needs to be replaced.
