Can a veneer go on a tooth that already has bonding?+
That depends on the amount of bonding, the enamel available and the condition of the tooth. Adequate enamel supports reliable bonding of a veneer, so your dentist will need to examine it.
Is it better to just replace my bonding?+
For a selected smaller change, it may well be. Your goals and the examination findings will shape that advice, and you can ask how each option would affect your tooth.
Why has the edge of my bonding gone dark?+
Bonding margins can change colour over time, and coffee, tobacco and hygiene can all play a role. Your dentist can check the area and tell you what is happening at that spot.
If I choose veneers, can I return to bonding later?+
Prepared enamel does not grow back, so a tooth treated this way keeps needing a restoration. Ask your dentist what future choices would remain open for your tooth.
Will veneers stain the way my bonding did?+
Ceramic veneers resist many stains, although that does not freeze the appearance of the whole smile. Natural teeth and margins can still change over time.
How can Margaret Park residents have their bonding checked?+
