If you're thinking about getting cosmetic dentistry, did you know that about 7 out of 10 adults feel self-conscious about their teeth? Understanding the differences between dental bonding and veneers procedures can help you choose the best option for your smile.

From the cost-effectiveness of bonding to the long-lasting durability of veneers, each treatment has its own benefits that are worth exploring.

So, are you ready to find out which option is right for you at Martin Dental?

Bonding Vs. Veneers Comparison

When you're thinking about fixing your smile, it's important to understand the differences between dental bonding and veneers.

Dental bonding, also called teeth bonding, is a quick fix using a composite resin material to fix small issues. It's a cheaper option compared to veneers, which are porcelain shells that last longer and look more natural. Bonding can stain and chip easily, while veneers are stronger and look more custom-made.

Bonding is a quicker process, but veneers take about four weeks for a custom design. Both options have their advantages, but veneers from Martin Dental offer more durability and customization.

Comparison of Durability

When thinking about how long your cosmetic dental work will last, it's important to compare dental bonding and veneers. Dental bonding usually stays put for 4-8 years on front teeth, while veneers can last for many years.

Bonding might need to be redone every 3-10 years because of wear and tear, but veneers offer a more long-lasting solution. How long bonding lasts depends on how you eat and take care of your teeth. Veneers, however, resist stains and give your teeth a durable makeover.

If you want something that will last a long time, veneers are the way to go. They're a reliable choice for a smile that will stay strong for years to come.

Bonding Material Composition

Dental bonding material used in cosmetic work at Martin Dental is made of a tooth-colored composite resin. This resin is carefully matched to match your natural tooth color, giving you a seamless look.

During the procedure, the resin is applied like putty and shaped to fit your teeth perfectly, making them look and feel natural. Unlike veneers, which are custom-made porcelain shells, bonding material is applied directly to your teeth and sculpted on them.

To harden the resin and secure it to your tooth, we use an ultraviolet light during the procedure. This helps create a strong and pleasing result for your dental restoration needs.
