Are Porcelain Veneers or Bonding a Better Option for Peg Teeth?

Both bonding and porcelain veneers can result in beautiful results when done properly.  Porcelain will last longer and is more stain resistant but many times requires some trimming on the tooth to place it properly and it is significantly more expensive.  Bonding can be done in situations where cost is a factor and it requires no removal of tooth structure in most cases and with modern composites, it can look beautiful and last many years before it discolors ( You can always move to the veneer later also).  Your dentist can advise you best on the situations in your mouth that may affect your choice.

Hi Allie86!

For peg laterals I always recommend porcelain veneers over bonding.  They always look better and last longer.

Best!
