The : The answer to that question is difficult to answer in this forum without seeing your teeth in person. Your bite would need to be evaluated to see how much space is available.

Dr : Dr patalowski is right, you need to be examined to determine the best route. But as a comparison, bonding, on the edges of your fron teeth will not last nearly as long as veneers. So take that into consiteration when deciding between the two. Bonded white filling material works best as just that... In filllings.

...on : ...On the other hand, porcelain veneers will last you much longer, but will be far more expensive. In either case, the decision has to be an educated one, looking at your specific circumstances with your dentist.

Bonding : Bonding in this situation likely won't last long. Porcelain veneers are like the best choice, or possibly simply smoothing the edges. Without an exam, it is hard to tell what options are best.

Enamelplasty!: If your teeth are simply rough with slight chipping with no decay, you can have your dentist smooth out the rough edges. This will dramatically change the appearance and make them appear more youthful!

Depends: On how bad they are and how long you want the treatment to last and how good do you want to look. As little as enameloplasty, to may be some bonded resins to as much as veneers or crowns....Consult a local dentist.
