Dental Bonding Vs. Porcelain
Veneers
A dental consultation with a knowledgeable, experienced and caring cosmetic dentist is your
first step. Dr. William
Vu and Dr. Andrew
Madej will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option, the
steps of the procedures and costs so that you are well informed and are able to
make an educated decision as to what is best for you. You will also have an
opportunity to ask questions at your consultation. We
take pride in spending time to explain treatment so that you are well
educated.
With dental
bonding, a tooth-colored resin
is carefully applied to your tooth and then a special light is used to bond the
material to the enamel. Unlike porcelain veneers, which correct a large portion
of your teeth, dental bonding is mostly used for minor repairs, such as fixing a
chipped tooth or closing spaces between teeth.
Porcelain
veneers are created from dental materials which are tough, stain-resistant
and lustrous. In only a few days, we
can create your gorgeous new smile, which can last many years to come with no
chips, breakage or staining. After the porcelain veneers are placed, it is
important to come regularly for your hygiene cleaning to prevent cavities and to
have a dentist check them to ensure that proper maintenance is done.
