I have slight crooked, gapped, chipped teeth on my 2 front teeth. I’m looking to bond them so I can close the gap and reshape them to be straighter, but I also have build up plaque. However, most of the probably is on my bottom teeth and back teeth not my front. I want to fix the look of my front teeth first and then get Periodontal gum disease treatment for everything else. Can I do that?

Do those recession areas hurt you or sensitive to cold? If they’re not bothering you, then you may leave them as is but those areas may be tough to keep clean. If there is decay there then you’ll need to place bonding fillings there. once you have bonding there, yes, you wil...
If the bonding has failed three times, it might be time to transition to a veneer or crown. This would be determined by the amount of tooth structure remaining. Photos would help to give you a definitive answer .
It depends on the size and the technique used if they are well adjusted, rather they help the hygiene since it prevents the food from accumulating easier. It is actually a great option, but I recommend for you to look for a well known specialist to do the job.
