Dental bonding before or after dental implant procedure?

Question

I want to get my front, upper teeth bonded to close a gap between my upper central incisors. However, my top, 1st molar is a baby tooth, and I was told I would eventually need a dental implant. My question is if I were to get my teeth bonded and then get a dental implant, would the dental implant cause my teeth to shift and gap again during the healing process? Should I get the implant done first and then get my gap bonded? Or does the order not matter?

Not at all. You can go ahead and do the procedures independently. The implant does not shift teeth. Teeth in general move forward with age.

The difference between these two procedures is that with bondings  you will do them on the operatory but you will depend on the doctor skills but also they will be made of a material that sooner or later it will change color because it’s made out of a resin, and it will stain.The difference with Porcelain veneers is that you will be able to change the shape the size and even the color so that would make your smile more nice and even also you will be able to close gaps and to have the smile that you always wanted, also dental veneers are a long lasting term solution that you will enjoy for several yearsAnd certainly you will be able to place the implant once you have done those veneers.
