I broke my two front teeth, two years ago in order

Q. I broke my two front teeth, two years ago in order for them to be repaired they used the bonding technique. I was told by my dentist that one of my front teeth has a crack up what is left of it and the other one what is left of it is shattered. What I want to know is how long roughly will they last and will I be able to get veneers in the future or will it have to be false teeth (which I really don’t want. Thank You

A. If your teeth haven’t had root canal treatment then the trauma to them is not as bad as it could have been in which case the teeth should last a significant amount of time. It can be difficult to tell you for sure without seeing the teeth or an x-ray. If bonding has been done then veneers or wrap arond porcelain crowns should be a treatment option.
Can your dentist not give you an estimate on how long the teeth will last. If you are unsure with the treatment you have received you could seek an opinion from a restorative dentist. Go to someone who is used to carrying out cosmetic treatments. Ask to see a portfolio so that you can see examples of their work.
If these teeth do eventually fail there is alsways the option of having implants so you may not have to face having false teeth
