Veneers vs. Composite Bonding: Which Cosmetic Treatment Is Right for You?

Posted .

A consultation at Costa Dentistry in Great Falls or Ashburn, VA is the best way to determine if veneers or composite bonding is the better way to reach your smile goals. Veneers are often seen as more invasive, and they create a permanent look that is bonded to your teeth. Bioclear composite bonding uses clear forms and heated composite to create a seamless, polished result that blends with your natural teeth. The dentists at Costa Dentistry can help walk you through the Smile Design process to help you choose the best cosmetic dental procedures for you. 

Costa Dentistry’s Guide to Choosing Veneers or Composite Bonding 

Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are made of porcelain to match the shade of your teeth. Veneers are bonded to your teeth permanently, and require removing enamel. Veneers are known for creating a highly uniform look and require time for lab-fabrication. However, they typically last for 10-15 years with proper care, but if they are damaged, may require a full replacement. 

Composite bonding, or Bioclear, is a less-invasive, modern alternative to veneers that uses a strong, clear, composite material to reshape your teeth, fill in gaps, or correct uneven edges without removing the enamel on your teeth. Because composite bonding is added to the teeth and enamel is not removed, it’s not considered permanent. Bioclear can be repaired more easily than veneers, in most cases.
