Dental Bonding?

I have always been self conscious because my second teeth in on both sides (on the top) are shorter than the rest of my teeth. Other than that, the rest of my teeth are very straight and white. I always wanted my two shorter teeth fixed with veneers and have talked to dentists about this option before. I just found out I need to leave the state very soon to film a movie and I don’t want to leave with my teeth in this condition. Now I need a quick fix and I do not have enough money saved up for veneers yet since I wasn't expecting this. Would dental bonding be a good solution? It seems to be a relatively easy procedure. Just two of my teeth in the front need to be lengthened slightly. Does anyone know how much it usually costs per tooth? Also, is it possible to replace the bonding with veneers later on? I live in WI if this helps with price quotes. Any information and experience with dental bonding is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dental Bonding?
It is normal for the tooth located between the front tooth and the canine to be a bit shorter. However, if you really need to or just want to change them, dental bonding can be a valid treatment option. I do not know the fees for WI, but in 2005, the national average fee was between $182 - $379 per tooth. It is possible to replace the bonding with veneers later on. One disadvantage that you have with bonding versus veneer is that the bonding material tends to stain faster. Results will vary, but people generally notice the bonding to stain within 5-10 years.
