I have had root canal treatment in one of my front teeth due to a skiing accident a few years back, the other is partially chipped. I was wondering if it would be smart to get a veneer placed on top of the tooth that has already had root canal done or if it would be too invasive? I know there is the option of bonding with the filling but that is pretty expensive to have to get done every 5 years and from what I’ve read about it, the results aren’t always that great compared to veneers. Thanks
