Should I have resin bonding done? (photos)

July 10, 2018
Asked By:merchantresiduals in Tampa, FL

My dentist recommends porcelain veneers. I don’t want to shave tooth. I can’t whiten anymore, Dentin showing. Translucent. Cold sensitivity. Fracture lines. Old bonding on canines. I am 38 years old. I also chip bottom teeth easily now. Had to shave them down a bit. Should I do bonding to protect teeth?

Scott Young, DDS says:

Good question.  Here are my thoughts. 1. Porcelain veneers are by far the best option both for strength and aesthetics. 2. Lumineers- not recommended as they look fake and are not as strong as traditional veneers. 3. Bonding performed by a cosmetic dentist will look ok, but does not have the lo...
