Can you add Lumineers or Veneers to a chipped tooth?

[CindyC]

One of my two front teeth is chipped. The chip has removed a portion of the bottom right corner. This is very unsightly and it makes me very self-conscious. Can I get a Veneer or a Lumineer to cover this tooth? Or must I have a crown made for the whole tooth?

[Dr Mohsen J. Esfahani]

You can have a lumineer or veneer to cover the chipped tooth but they are unlikely to blend in well to your other teeth in colour. A crown could be a little excessive unless you have lost a lot of tooth tissue already. A more simple solution could be going for composite bonding which blends with tooth colour better and does not involve any tooth tissue removal.
