What is composite bonding, and what are veneers?
Cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more confident by fixing the small imperfections in your smile that bother you. When it comes to improving the appearance of your smile, you have several alternatives to pick from. Veneers and dental bonding are two common procedures.
Composite bonding involves a coloured resin being applied to the tooth's surface to improve the appearance, whilst veneers involve a thin ceramic shell that is shaped to fit over the front of a tooth and cemented into place.
What are the differences?
Composite bonding is a more cost-effective alternative to dental veneers. Bonding is a less expensive aesthetic solution with comparable effectiveness and durability. Composite bonding does not have the same longevity as porcelain veneers, but it is easy to have old bonding removed and replaced.
Composite bonding offers a faster treatment time than dental veneers. Unlike veneers, which require more than one dental appointment, the bonding treatment often takes just one session to finish. For veneers, the dentist takes a scan of your teeth and the veneers are then manufactured in the lab. When you return for your subsequent appointment, the veneers will be glued and the fit fine-tuned.
In summary, veneers are a more long-term cosmetic solution, but the initial fitting is more invasive and takes longer, whilst composite bonding is quicker and easier, but will not last as
long.
