How does bonding compare to porcelain veneers or crowns?
Bonding (or composite) is ideal for smaller dental defects and decays. However, when larger restorations are needed, bondings are short-lived. They may change color, lose luster quickly, and break more easily. In these cases, porcelain veneers and/or crowns are a better choice. Patients who choose bonding over porcelain veneers or a crown for financial reasons, often end up having these bondings replaced by porcelain veneers or crowns within a short period of time.
