Bonding Consultation

Today I had an appointment with my regular dentist about bonding between tooth 23 and 25. He gave me two options bonding or veneers. I chose bonding. It is a cheaper option. My dentist concern is that bonding doesn't last as long as veneers, but veneers cost almost three times as much as bonding. I chose the bonding which could last anywhere from 3-7 years. It is basically the same as a white filling for a cavity. Tooth 23 and 25 will be the teeth receiving bonding. My dentist also stated that by bringing the teeth closer to the gum (within 5 mm) will help the gum grow along with regular flossing and brushing. My appointment will be on 08/14/2010. I also want to make an appointment in the mean time with my orthodontist. Tooth 23 and 25 are developing a space in between the teeth. I may need to have my retainer adjusted. I will call Monday for an appointment.
