What is the difference between veneers and bonding?
Veneers are made of porcelain and tend to last much longer than bonding, which is made of a very strong plastic. Veneers can last ten to fifteen years (or more!) while bonding may last in the three to eight year range. Veneers are fabricated in a dental lab and take multiple visits while bonding is done directly in the mouth and takes one visit. The fee for veneers is higher than bonding. Whether to use one over the other is always a case by case decision.
