While both dental bonding and porcelain veneers are cosmetic procedures that change the appearance of your smile, their treatment processes, abilities, and limitations all differ.
Dental bonding can be used to fix chipped, cracked, and broken teeth by adding a composite material to the natural tooth. The procedure is more affordable than veneers and can be completed in one session. Best of all, dental bonding can last ten years or more.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your natural teeth to change their color, shape, or spacing. They can cover teeth that are chipped, broken, or worn down. Veneers typically require three appointments and can last 20 years with proper care.
