What Is The Difference Between Dental Bonding And Porcelain Veneers?

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.
