My cosmetic dentist noticed a small amount of decay at the gum line on my (15 year old) veneered front tooth. Replacement is recommended, but color match is an issue (as well as the fact that I will be redoing the 9 other veneers in 12-18 months). In the meantime, I'd like to address the issue of decay. Can the veneer be sanded down and composite filling used to treat the decay? While not perfect, I'm hoping this will be an acceptable short-term solution. Please weight in!
