Can I replace my dental bonding with veneer? (Photo)

AlexisrivJul 21, 2023
I chipped my front tooth while brushing, very tiny chip! My dentist decided to fill the whole front tooth with a bonding. I already have a crown on the front left because of a accident when I was young. I switched dentists due to this and I asked her if she would maybe be able to put a venner there instead and she sad she doesnt kno how much tooth structure I have under the bonding. I dont like the looks but theres no other options?
