I got a crown done about 2 years ago because I've had bonding done to a chipped tooth. I didn't need the crown because the chip was only about 25% of my tooth if that. The chip was small idk why I wanted a permanent fix well I guess because I didn't want to have to continually deal with bonding but I should've waited til I was a little older being that I'm only 28. The bonding was just like 9 years old when i noticed the discoloration but the crown is worse. Any suggestions?
