If you\u2019ve ever considered enhancing your smile, then you\u2019ve likely heard of the teeth bonding vs veneers conversation. They can both repair chips, gaps or discolouration but they\u2019re not interchangeable. <\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Teeth Bonding?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Teeth bonding is a faster, less expensive solution for minor cosmetic corrections.<\/span> A dentist cements a tooth coloured resin to your teeth, sculpts to match the shape of your smile, then hardens it with a laser and polishes. The majority of treatments take place in a single session \u2014 ideal when you\u2019re living that go-go London lifestyle. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Veneers?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells usually made from porcelain that cover the front surface of your teeth. Veneers are more permanent to get that shiny look and are the option for most who need a whole smile transformation.<\/span> Teeth are wrapped in thin, hand-cut porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. You\u2019ll generally need two or more visits, since the veneers are made in a laboratory to your teeth\u2019s specific specifications.<\/span> What is best really relies on what you wish to do, how much money you have available to spend, and how drastic a change you wish to make.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
