More about the options in cosmetic dentistry Dubai services: Veneers and Bonding Explained

Porcelain Veneers

These are ultra-thin ceramic shells specifically made in a dental lab and then bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers mimic natural teeth, and are the perfect solution for teeth discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments. Properly placed veneers will give you a beautiful, even smile that will last for 10-15 years.

Composite Bonding

If you have small defects like a single chip or narrow gap between the teeth, the dentist will apply tooth-colored resin onto the tooth surface. The resin will then be shaped and hardened using a special curing light. This in-office procedure can be completed within a single visit.

Now let’s look at the two of them in terms of Cost, Durability and Aesthetics:

Durability

Porcelain veneers are noted for their strength and durability. If you care for them well, they will last for as long as 15 years. Veneer placement is more of a permanent fixture, because the dentist removes a thin layer of the tooth’s enamel so they can be fitted snugly over the teeth.

Dental bonding is quite popular to but they are not as durable like the veneers. They are more of a temporary placement, because you will have to come in for touch-ups or repairs over time. They could stain or chip.  If you take care of them well through oral hygiene practices and lifestyle, they may last for 5-7 years.

Cost

Veneers have a higher initial cost when compared to bonding,mostly because of their durability and aesthetic appeal. Go for it, if you can invest the amount, and prefer a dramatic, lasting change.

Bonding is often preferred by patients who are not ready to commit to expensive procedures. That makes it a cost-effective solution for minor aesthetic improvements. Since bonding is a more budget-friendly than veneers, it often is a popular first-line treatment

Aesthetics

Veneers offer perfect smiles, with no trace of imperfections. They can be customized in terms of color, shape, and size, making them perfect for patients who prefer to have their own choices and preferences with the aesthetics of their smile.

Bonding will also give you that beautiful smile since they can effectively mask minor imperfections. The only downside is that composite resin is more prone to discoloration so you might need to replace or repair it. However, the overall finish of bonded resin may not emulate the translucency and shine of porcelain veneers, and the aesthetic quality might diminish.
