What procedures am I a candidate for? May I qualify for dental bonding? (Photo)

Question

I have two peg teeth that misalign my smile. It is not my only dental concern but it is priority among my concerns. I would also like a price range (if possible). I'd like an estimate before I consult a professional.

Hello, my name is Dr Tyler Hales and I am a cosmetic dentist in Orange County, California. You can either do bonding or porcelain veneers. It depends on what you want the final result to be and what your expectations are. Bonding is going to last about 3-5 years and then need to be replaced because it is more porous and will discolor over time. Porcelain veneers are going to be stronger and lasts longer, usually 20-30 years. Bonding can cost anywhere from $400-$2000 per tooth and porcelain veneers range from $1,500-$5,000 per tooth.

Hello. Your upper lateral incisor teeth ara anatomically small and they need Emax laminate veneer or Emax crown. Of course their roots should be checked radiologically and if they look healthy, this is the most long-lasting method. Of course bonding is an alternative but composite discolorates in long term and have less strength than Emax.It's price is between 900$ to 1500$ in our clinic at Bursa/Turkey

Nevsin Sener, DDS - Account Suspended · Answer

Dental bonding can be applied to the edges of lateral incisors; however, there is a potential risk of the bonding breaking, particularly due to the position of the right canine tooth. While there is a chance of breaking the dental bonding, there shouldn't be an issue on the left side. Nevertheless, due to possible discoloration problems in the future, we recommend opting for E-max Crowns for your teeth.
