Have a 12 year old girl who is just getting off her braces and her two eye teeth or really small and they recommended veneers. Is she too young and what happens when she is older and wants to whiten her teeth. I would rather just do bonding at this age. Any thoughts!

She is not too young for veneers but when it comes to whitening later that may cause an issue with this process. While she is not too young for veneers if you would rather do bonding since she is so young at this point you can go that route as veneers can always be applyed later if need be. The main thing is to strengthen those two eye teeth so they do not break and have to have a crown put on them or veneers before you feel she is ready for them. I would go with what you are comfortable with the bonding so it strengthens them but allows you to make a choice later if you do want to go with the veneers which can then be matched to her tooth color that could change over time right now.
