Porcelain Veneers or Composite Bonding?
Porcelain veneers and composite bonding are both
popular cosmetic dental treatments that aim to
improve the appearance of the teeth.

Key differences between Porcelain Veneers
and Composite Bonding
Porcelain veneers are made of a thin layer of
porcelain that is custom-made to fit over the
front surface of the tooth. It can be hand-made
or machine-made, depending on the case. The
treatment usually requires 2 visits Composite
bonding involves the application of a
tooth-coloured resin material to the tooth
surface. The material used in bonding can be
matched to the natural colour of the teeth. The
treatment usually only requires one visit. The
result is highly dependable on the dentists
skills, to make the restoration virtually
undetectable.

Key differences between Porcelain Veneers
and Composite Bonding
Porcelain is a strong material that can withstand
daily wear and tear, making veneers a
long-lasting solution. Porcelain veneers are
generally more durable than composite bonding and
can last up to 10-15 years or longer with proper
care. Composite bonding is not as durable as
other cosmetic dental treatments such as crowns
or veneers. The bonding material can chip or
stain over time, and it may need to be replaced
or repaired after a few years. Composite bonding
may not be suitable if a tooth is significantly
damaged, it is typically used for minor cosmetic
issues, such as small chips or small gaps between
teeth.

Key differences between Porcelain Veneers
and Composite Bonding
The process of getting veneers involves removing
a thin layer of enamel from the tooth surface, to
create room for the veneer, which is
irreversible. More tooth structure might need to
be removed to correct severe misalignment and
discolouration. Unlike other cosmetic dental
treatments such as crowns or veneers, composite
bonding is a non-invasive, reversible procedure
that usually does not require the removal of any
tooth structure.

required.
