Thanks Dr Hara!
A few year back… I chipped my tooth and got a root canal on my front tooth a few years ago. And as the tooth dried out, it started to darken 🙁 ESPECIALLY in photos! See it? It’s the one on the right. Since my sister’s wedding is coming up in 2 weeks, I decided to get that fixed! I went to Dr Hara, recommended by my friends with great smiles and she suggested a veneer bond.
All the magical toolsVeneer bonds are good for shaping chipped tooth and cost less than a porcelain one (Those are $2000+ per tooth). The bond one is 1/2 the price and just did the job. I am gonna be smiling with more teeth now 🙂 What do you think?
