Cosmetic Dentistry:
Veneers vs. Bonding
If you want to correct chips, cracks, gaps, or deep stains, we use two primary methods depending on your budget and goals.
| Service | How It Worked | Best Used For |
|---|---|---|
|
Porcelain Veneers
|
Ultra-thin, custom-made shells of dental porcelain that are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. Requires a tiny amount of enamel removal for a seamless, flush fit. | Dramatic smile makeovers, severe discoloration, permanently closing large gaps, or fixing crooked teeth without braces. Extremely stainresistant. |
|
Composite Bonding
|
A tooth-colored composite resin (the same material used for fillings) is applied directly to the tooth, sculpted by hand to the perfect shape, and hardened instantly with a special curing light. | Quickly repairing minor chips, fixing small cracks, reshaping a single mismatched tooth, or filling small gaps. Finished in just one appointment. |
