The thing I wouldn`t like about veneers is they would cover the whole surface of your two front teeth. Whereas, the bonding would only fill in your little problem area and it would blend in so well that nobody would ever know it wasn't real. I know people who have bonding on the lower part of their tooth(the part that would come into direct contact with the food they bite into), and it lasts years and years. With bonding up at the gumline, it wouldn`t feel much of the force from the food you bite down into, but the veneers would and for that reason I could actually see the bonding in that area lasting longer.
