Porcelain veneers and bonding offer similar solutions with crucial differences making one more popular than the other.
Porcelain veneers offer a more permanent solution lasting 10-25 years and are tailor-made in a dental laboratory by a highly skilled ceramist.
On the other hand, dental bonding is carried out by placing composite resin in the mouth and giving it shape. These are reversible and last anywhere between 5 and 10 years. The results are very much determined by the artistic ability of the dentist. Qualified Aesthetic Dentists are trained in the art of shape, colour, proportions etc.
Unlike Porcelain veneers, dental bonding is replaced more often and sees more instances of discolouration if cheep materials are used.
