Veneers are frequently used to conceal stains that are not removed by professional tooth whitening. Dental bonding will be more effective in repairing chips or gaps. Because it can be moulded like clay to match your tooth, cosmetic bonding is more beneficial for chipped or broken teeth. Veneers are used to change the appearance of a tooth while dental bonding is usually applied to repair damage to teeth caused by sugar or bacteria. Teeth bonding involves the application of materials called composites that are designed to fill cavities or replace missing teeth. Composite resins are used because they look and feel like natural dentin (the material inside your teeth) and can be custom-colored to match your skin tone. They can also be used to fix chips or cracks in an existing tooth. The process starts with an impression of your mouth floor. This is sent to a laboratory where a replica is made from it. This model is then checked by your dentist to ensure that it fits properly before it's sent back to the office. Once you're ready to proceed, a number of layers of composite are carefully placed on your tooth to restore its original shape and color. The advantage of dental bonding over porcelain veneers is that there is no limit as to how many times you can have your teeth bonded. However, veneers can be applied multiple times if needed. Both methods are valid options for treating damaged or discolored teeth.
