Can composite bonding done to cover up exposed dentin? (photos)

Question

I have exposed dentin on the front bottom teeth due to bruxism. Is it possible to get composite bonding done just to cover up the exposed dentin? My dentist recommended veneers but it's just too costly for me.

The fillings would work for now. I'd recommend getting your top teeth looked at for fillings as well.The composite material will chip and break, so eventually you'll likely need crowns. Veneers aren't recommended in Bruxism because they can crack and pop off.A night guard is recommended.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser

Composite can be done, it depends on the space available. There is a likelihood that your teeth may need orthodontics prior to composite bondingIt is definitely less invasive than veneersBest of LuckDr J
