While both dental bonding and veneers can enhance your smile, they have different features that appeal to different types of patients. Dental bonding is more affordable, retains more of the natural tooth, and several teeth can be treated in a single visit.
With a proper oral hygiene routine consisting of brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and rinsing in between meals in addition to regular checkups and professional cleanings at our office, you can expect dental bonding to last ten years.
Porcelain veneers are capable of dramatically changing an entire smile, while dental bonding can enhance the structure and aesthetics of individual teeth. Veneers are more durable, typically lasting up to 20 years. They require two visits to our office, where an impression will be made and the veneers will be placed on the front of the teeth. While dental bonding is added to the teeth, veneers are thin-wafer shells that are attached to the fronts of the teeth.
