I got my gap bonded 8 years ago. The dentist who did it shaved off too much of my tooth. I went to another dentist who I still see. She was in awe at the amount of tooth removed. After repeated bonding, my dentist said we need to go to veneers. Now I have my temp on but had to go get a new impression and I have never had so much pain in my life. The teeth are very sensitive.
