Should I go for root canal and then crowns or veneers on badly worn tooth? These are two dentist’s different opinions.

Q. In the states, the dentist wants to do four root canals and then crowns on the lower 4 front teetch, as they are badly worn from a major overbite. The Costa Rica dentest says why ruin good teeth as the roots are very strong. I understand that porcelin does not do well on dentyn and needs to be on enamil which I don’t have any. He states that a hard composite veneer is better suited on teech with not enamil.,
A. My recommendation is to get the arch form correct with orthodontics ( teeth in line) followed by minimal veneers – root treatment sounds severe
