I made a huge mistake getting veneers for my front two teeth. It was purely cosmetic as my teeth were absolutely healthy, I regret it everyday. I was wondering if I could have the veneers removed and replaced with Bonding.
Answer: Removing Porcelain Veneers Is Possible
Porcelain veneers can be removed, but the question is why would you like to have bonding placed? This would not be an aesthetic or functionally sound option in my opinion. If you are not currently happy with your smile consider seeing an experienced cosmetic dentist and ask them what can be done. Most likely, a new set of procelain veneers would be the treatment of choice to give a gorgeous update to your smile. Good luck.

Answer: You can change the veneers
I do not recommend to change it for a bonding. Why you do not like them? In case of veneers, most of the times it does not matter is your teeth were healthy or not, you can do veneers for aesthetic reasons only. if you do not like them you can have new ones, but I do not think a bonding will be a good idea. That is my opinion.

Answer: You can, but why would you?
You can, but why would you? What you are asking is changing from a more superior material to a weaker material. It’s the opposite of what we would recommend. Porcelain veneers are stronger, more realistic, and maintain their shape, color and sheen better. Bonding is more prone to chipping, dulling and wear. It sounds to me that you don’t like the way your veneers look. This is not a materials problem but an aesthetics one. You don’t say what you don’t like about them. The color? The shape? Are they painful? Do they just look fake? Changing from porcelain to bonding will not change any of this. You should stick with porcelain veneers, but have them changed, taking into account what you don’t like about the ones you have now. Before picture with your complaints should be taken and sent to the lab before anything new is made.

Answer: Can you replace Poreclain Veneers with Bonding?
The answer to your question is YES you can replace the veneers with bonding. You obviously are unhappy with the way your veneers look and yes they can be taken off and you can bond the teeth. The veneers have the color and look more like your real teeth. Bonding can look great but does not last as long and the color and light is not there, but you can do this if you want. I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with the veneers and maybe you should try to work the dentist and see if he can work with you and arrive at veneers that you like!

Answer: Veneers CAN be removed
The question is why? It is highly unlikely that bonding will be an upgrade from the porcelain veneers, and the removal of them will depend on how much was done to the teeth in placing the veneers in the first place.
If you don't like the look, perhaps find another dentist to see what they suggest. You would likely be happier with a simple swap, remove THESE porcelain veneers and replace them with another set of porcelain veneers. Bonding will not be as pretty or as strong.
