Differences between composite

bonding and veneers

By: Smile Today Dental

Composite bonding

Non-invasive treatment with no drilling or permanent damage to teeth. Easy to repair.

Requires only one visit to the dentist; results are immediate.

Relatively cheaper.

With good care, will last for 5 – 7 years.

Hardier and stain-resistant than composite resin.

Veneers

Teeth need to be drilled for a perfect fit, so the process is irreversible.

Requires at least two visits as they should be designed in a laboratory.

Relatively expensive.

Will last for at least 15 years.

More resistant than composite bondings.
