Does it hurt to get this work done?

Both ways are very easy and do not hurt. Bonding rarely needs a numbing shot. For veneers, you might get a little numbing while the tooth is being prepared, but you will feel relaxed the whole time.

Can I whiten my teeth later?

The materials used for bonding and veneers do not change color with whitening gels. It is always best to whiten your real teeth first so the new material can be matched to your brightest smile.

What happens if a tooth chips?

If bonding chips, it is very easy to fix in one quick visit. If a porcelain cover chips, the whole piece usually needs to be remade by a lab to look perfect.

Is one better for my front teeth?

Both look great on front teeth! Bonding is often used for small chips. Porcelain is very popular for adults who want a big change in the shape and color of their whole smile.
