I recently got a chip in my tooth and my dentist mentioned it but they said that they would take care of it when I'm getting braces but I don't think I'm getting braces any time soon.

Answer: I have a chip in my front tooth and I'm very scared. What do you recommend?
The best option in your case is porcelain veneers on the front of two broken teeth. Visit the dentist to check the status of the tooth pulp. If the pulp is exposed then RCT is a must procedure before porcelain veneers.
I would definitely discuss your concerns with the dentist that completed your bonding. I do agree with you that the shade appears to be off and you can see a clear line of where the bonding stops and your tooth starts.
This is often an easy fix, and I wouldn't expect...

Saving your teeth will first require your commitment. Make a decision to do it. Then run to your dentist. Don't wait, wobble or walk. Get there. The longer you put it off, the less chance you will have of saving the rest of your teeth. Get to a dentist ASAP! Yes you will need that one...
