I want to fill the gap in my top front teeth and fix the chipped tooth. Years ago the dentist put composite bonding on the chip (i think it was) but it lasted 2 days then came off. I think it was the same stuff used for fillings but could be wrong as it was 15 years ago. I definitely don't want vaneers. My teeth are healthy and I don't want them filed down and destroyed. I want the least invasive procedure like composite bonding, but how long will it last? Thank you

Due to the location and size of that chip, a simple composite bonding will and should address that defect. Veneer would also fix the issue but it will cost more. The best method would depend on your dentist’s preference and your budget. Good luck.
