I have a chipped tooth. People say they don’t notice it, and I suppose it isn’t too bad, but I know it’s there. I notice every time I look in the mirror. Maybe I should start thinking about getting veneers.

  Jasper, if it is that small that it is really not noticeable, I would do bonding on it rather that veneer.

Chipped teeth are terrible. I chipped one of my front teeth and have had it bonded. I would really like to get veneers at some point.

I had a problem with my enamel reshaping. The edge of my tooth was too low on one side, so I am going to just let the dentist work out a payment plan so I can get a metal cap on it. My mom says I’m crazy for wanting to put gold on my tooth. lol. Oh well.

  gold is actually one of the best material to use, but not for front teeth. I am assuming you are talking about a front tooth, right?
