Bonding: Including veneers may correct the situation but it may be more complex, including possible elements of your bite. Get a thorough exam and discuss treatment options with your dentist.

Sensitivity on the: Top edge of your lower teeth is a rare place to be sensitive. You certainly are observing wear of enamel, but the sensitivity could be related to other factors/issues. Improper bite load, gum recession w exposed roots, root erosion/damage, certain acidic foods & even certain toothpastes could be contributing. Have your dentist explain all of this and go from there... Good luck.
