Both can close gaps, fix chips and even out edges. The difference is in how much they change and how long they last.

Composite bonding

Resin sculpted straight onto your teeth. No drilling, fully reversible, and done in two visits. Lasts five to seven years with good care.

Porcelain veneers

Thin shells made in our lab. More durable and more stain-resistant, but a little enamel is usually removed.

Our rule

  1. Small change: bonding.

  2. Bigger change or heavy wear: veneers.

  3. Not sure: a free 3D preview of both.
