I am curious if a dentist can answer my question. My two top front teeth have worn enamel, the bottom of both teeth are worn down with a bit of the tooth gone. I’m ashamed of these teeth and have read about dental bonding and veneers. For worn enamel like mine can I do bonding because no more tooth structure has to be shaved off?

Also do I need braces before bonding?
 
Yes probably. Can't say for sure without looking at you.

If you want/need braces then that needs to be done first for best results with the bonding.
 
@Gordon thank you for answering. I do need braces unfortunately, I just didn’t know I needed them beforehand. I’ll see about getting on that next time I see the dentist!
