There are two teeth bonding procedures: composite bonding and porcelain veneers. However, they have a few differences.
Composite veneers are quicker as they can be done chairside in a single visit. Your dentist will match the resin to the shade of your surrounding teeth to resemble your natural teeth. The resin is added to your teeth, cured and then polished.
Porcelain veneers take up to two visits as the dentist will remove a thin layer of your teeth. He will then take an impression of your teeth and will send the mould out to the lab to be fabricated. During this time, you will need to wear temporary veneers until your porcelain veneers are ready to be bonded to your teeth in the next visit.
Composite veneers typically last 4-8 years. while porcelain veneers should last 10-15 years with proper care.
Prevents further bone loss and gum recession, by stimualting growth and development of the jawbone. Once the implant is placed, it functions as a natural tooth root, allowing the jawbone to grow well
Once your treatment has been completed, final photographs of your teeth may be taken of your bonded teeth and reviewed with those taken before treatment.
You will be provided instructions on how to look after the composites and tips on your oral hygiene. Composite bonding if done well and properly maintained, can potentially last many years or even a lifetime.
In some circumstances (especially if multiple teeth require composite bonding), a rubber raincoat may first be placed over the relevant teeth before commencing the procedure. This is to prevent contamination and improve the success of your treatment.

What are Veneers? Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured layers that are applied to the surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
