patients often ask, "what is the differencebetween cosmetic bonding and porcelain veneers?" cosmetic bonding is a composite material thatwe apply directly to the teeth here in the office. it is a one visit procedure. the composite materials come in a wide varietiesof colors and shades and so that we can mix and match and blend those to match your currenttooth's color. and create a lot of smile changes, color changes,we can fill in spaces, we can correct the alignment of teeth. it's a great procedure for youngsters or teenagerswho are not old enough to go onto the porcelain
veneers at this point. they're not facially developed and it canlast for a number of years. biggest disadvantage of porcelain, i'm sorry,of cosmetic bonding is that over time it can discolor and stain a little bit. we're always are happy to polish it as oftenas a patient can come in and let us do that to prolong the life of it. it's biggest advantage is just conservative. it's less costly than veneers and it can servea wide range of problems. the veneers have more flexibility, they cancreate a longer lasting restoration.
they will never pick up any color or stain. so that's one of their big advantages. they are a much more permanent solution toit. but both can create a great change in yoursmile and we do both here in the office, sometimes even in combination cases. so we will sit and talk and decide which areawould work best for you, for your appearance, and your budget.
