Default Dental Bonding

I have a large chip in my upper front tooth and this has been repaired by dental bonding. The problem I have with this is that I hate it! I don't like the fact that the join can be seen (v fussy I know) but also because it reminds me of how the injury occurred (not pleasant).

I plucked up courage to ask my dentist about it and he told me, literally, to pull myself together. Not quite the response I hoped for. This dentist has done a lot of good work for me, but he's not v approachable or understanding about cosmetic things. I didn't feel I was asking for anything unnecessary though.

He did say that a veneer wasn't a good idea as it would be too invasive, they don't last and can crack. My tooth has got progressively sensitive and I also wonder if a veneer would in fact provide extra protection for the damaged tooth?

I would very much appreciate some advice on my situation with regards to bonding or a veneer. Also, if anyone can recommend a good cosmetic dentist in the south east area, that would be v helpful.
