Can I Have Porcelain Veneers On Teeth As It Is Depleted Of Enamel?

I am a 23 year old female. I had healthy teeth, and got my front two teeth bonded to cover white spots at the bottom of my teeth. I had another dentist polish a scratch away but accidentally polished the bond off my right tooth and had another dentist in the same office re bond my right tooth. She did a sloppy job and i went to another dentist to attempt to smooth it out with a drill. My right tooth is depleted of enamel. I have light sensitivity. I wonder can still have porcelain veneers?

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
As per the history posted here I would advise you to visit prosthodontist(dentist who deals with crowns and veneers exclusively),so that he/she can analyze the thickness of remaining enamel or dentin and suggest you the treatment accordingly.
A diagnostic x ray is also required to see the condition of supporting structures of teeth and the periapical pathology(near the roots).
Therefore please see the above said dentist in this regard.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
