One or two teeth bugging you? Composite bonding’s usually where I’d look first, especially for something small. Veneers make more sense for a bigger change, and only if you’re fine with a more involved process.<\/p>\n

Bonding Makes More Sense for Small Changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chipped front tooth, biting something hard years back, tooth’s otherwise healthy, you just hate the notch. That’s bonding territory. Dentist rebuilds the missing bit, shapes it in, matches the rest.<\/p>\n
