If you\u2019re considering cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile, you may be caught off guard by the many options available to you. Like many others, you\u2019re probably stuck between dental bonding and veneers. However, many people don\u2019t know the difference between veneers<\/a> and bonding<\/a>. To learn which factors will most likely influence your decision, consider the following post from a cosmetic dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Severity of Your Dental Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll first need to consider all the aspects about your smile that you\u2019d like to address. For example, if you have permanent stains that teeth whitening cannot resolve, gaps in between your teeth, or noticeable chips or cracks, you\u2019re likely a candidate for both treatments. With that said, veneers and bonding have their own unique benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, veneers are generally longer-lasting and less porous than bonding. This means that you\u2019ll need to replace them less often than bonding material and they are more stain-proof due to their smooth surface. However, you may only need a little bonding to address your concerns and therefore can save money. A cosmetic dentist will be able to provide additional guidance following an exam and X-rays of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that veneers are largely considered to be one of the most expensive forms of cosmetic dentistry out there. This is because the restorations are highly personalized to not only look natural, but be durable for many years. In contrast, bonding uses composite resin, a much cheaper material. If your smile goals are less complex, you may be able to get away with only needing bonding to achieve your ideal appearance. With that said, bonding will not last as long as ceramic restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps one of the biggest differences between veneers and bonding is the time it takes to receive each treatment. Since bonding makes use of easily available composite resin that can be molded onto teeth immediately, there\u2019s no need to work with a dental lab (or even design and fabricate a restoration to begin with.) This makes it a reasonable option for those who either don\u2019t want to wait to enhance their smile or simply don\u2019t have time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the customization that comes with veneers, it can take as long as two weeks to produce and place them. This also means two appointments will be needed, while bonding only takes one in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete a Cosmetic Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it\u2019s worth keeping the dentist\u2019s expertise in mind. The person you receive general checkups and cleanings from may not be the same person who performs your smile makeover. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask the dentist for previous examples of their cosmetic dentistry or their experience within the field. This is especially important if they only have experience performing one treatment over the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With proper planning, you can achieve a smile you\u2019ve always dreamed of having! Start your smile makeover today by getting in touch with a cosmetic dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
