For years, Jennifer* had bonding on her front tooth that kept chipping. She had it replaced several times. When she came to No Limits Dental, she was ready to fix her tooth for the long term. Her case was completed by Dr. Natan Mulady.

Why Veneers Instead of Bonding Again

Jennifer chose to move forward with veneers because they last longer, are stronger and look better than bonding.

Why 2 Veneers Instead of 1

She could have done only one veneer, on the tooth with the chipped bonding. But her goal was to improve her smile, including the symmetry and color of her front teeth. Completing only one veneer would not have improved the shapes or color of her teeth.

To achieve beautiful, natural and symmetrical results, she chose 2 front veneers.

The Result

In just 2 appointments, Jennifer had her beautiful, natural smile back, without bonding that needs to be replaced again and again.

Veneers vs. Bonding Questions

Veneers or bonding for a chipped front tooth?

Bonding can repair a chip, but if it keeps chipping you may find yourself replacing it again and again, like Jennifer did. She chose veneers because they last longer, are stronger and look better than bonding.

Can I get just one veneer?

Sometimes one veneer is enough. But one veneer only changes one tooth, so it may not improve the shape or color of the teeth around it. Jennifer wanted better symmetry and color, so she chose 2 front veneers. Your dentist will help you decide which option fits your goals.

How many appointments do 2 front veneers take?

Jennifer’s 2 front veneers took 2 appointments.

Will my veneers look natural?

They should. Jennifer’s veneers were designed to give her beautiful, natural and symmetrical results that blend with the rest of her smile.

Does insurance cover veneers?

Purely cosmetic treatments like veneers are often not covered by insurance. Most PPO plans do cover your exam and cleanings, and we accept most major PPO plans.
