Many patients choose either dental bonding or porcelain\nveneers to disguise flaws in their teeth. Both treatments can produce stunning\nresults, but you may wonder which is better. In this blog post, we discuss the\npros and cons of each. Then, you will be in a better position to choose the\ntreatment that is the best fit for your circumstances and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental bonding, which is sometimes called direct bonding,\ninvolves applying a special tooth-colored resin to the teeth. A dentist shapes\nthe resin in a way that allows it to hide imperfections in the teeth, such as\nstains, chips, or cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some advantages of dental bonding include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The procedure is fast, taking less than an hour\nin most cases<\/li><li>Minimal tooth preparation is necessary<\/li><li>Bonding is a relatively affordable cosmetic\ntreatment<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary disadvantage of dental bonding is that the resin\nis not as durable nor as stain-resistant as porcelain. Therefore, the\nprocedure\u2019s results may last for only a few years before it is necessary to replace\nthe bonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are custom-designed pieces of porcelain\nthat your dentist can attach to the fronts of your teeth with the goal of hiding\ntheir flaws. It is the cosmetic dentistry treatment of choice for many\ncelebrities. Veneers can be designed and placed in as few as two dental\nappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some outstanding benefits of porcelain veneers include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Porcelain is nonporous, a fact that makes it highly\nstain-resistant<\/li><li>Porcelain is extremely durable and can stand up\nto all the rigors of everyday eating and drinking<\/li><li>The veneers may last for well over a decade\nbefore replacement becomes necessary<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, porcelain veneers do have a few downsides. One is\nthat they require the underlying tooth structure to be modified, which makes\nveneers a permanent commitment. Another is that they tend to present a higher\nupfront cost than other cosmetic dentistry treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making Your Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cosmetic dentist would be happy to help you decide\nbetween dental bonding and porcelain veneers. They will discuss the pros and\ncons of each choice with you and help you settle on one that best fits your\ngoals. In general, dental bonding is the ideal choice if you want to improve\nthe appearance of just one or two teeth, whereas porcelain veneers are better\nsuited to people who want to totally transform their look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to bid farewell to the flaws in your teeth?\nEither dental bonding or porcelain veneers may be able to help you gain a more\nbeautiful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Scott Beckerman is an experienced general and cosmetic\ndentist who has been with the Willow Run Dental Association team for more than\n20 years.
