I’ve got a chip in the bottom of one of my front teeth. It’s not very big, but it sure makes me uncomfortable to smile.  Would getting a porcelain veneer work in my case? Are there other options?

Sammie,

Yes, you could get a veneer on that tooth. Porcelain veneers work just fine, even with chipped teeth. A simpler option may be to get tooth bonding done. That will fix your chip with a composite resin and won’t affect the rest of your tooth. Either one will work for you.
