What patients should understand
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to alter or repair certain visible areas. Porcelain veneers generally involve a laboratory or custom ceramic restoration. The amount of alteration to natural teeth, stain resistance, repairability and expected maintenance can differ.
Questions to take to a qualified clinician
Ask how long the proposed work may last in your situation, which habits could damage it, whether it can be repaired, and how the cost compares with other options.
