At Epping High Dental, we pride ourselves on delivering personalised treatment in a warm and welcoming environment. Our dentist Lalor can offer a comprehensive range of treatments to suit all of your dental requirements. One of these treatments, veneers, can protect your teeth and enhance your smile’s appearance.
What are veneers?
Porcelain veneers and composite bonding are two popular cosmetic dental procedures that can improve the appearance of your smile. Both procedures involve applying a thin layer of material to the front of your teeth, but they differ in a few key ways. Porcelain veneers are made of a thin, durable material that is bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues including chips, cracks, stains, and uneven teeth. Porcelain veneers are very durable and can last for many years with proper care.
Composite bonding, on the other hand, is a more conservative procedure. It involves using a tooth-coloured composite resin to fill in small gaps, chips, and cracks in your teeth. Composite bonding can also be used to change the shape or colour of your teeth. Composite bonding is a less invasive procedure than porcelain veneers, and it is less time-consuming. However, composite bonding is not as durable as porcelain veneers and may need to be replaced more often.
Both porcelain veneers and composite bonding can be used to improve the appearance of your smile. The best option for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a long-lasting, durable solution, porcelain veneers may be the best choice. If you are looking for a more conservative, affordable option, composite bonding may be a better choice. Our dentist Lalor will be able to discuss the treatment options with you and will answer all of your questions, so you can make an informed decision, during an initial consultation.
Benefits of veneers
Porcelain veneers are very durable and can last for many years with proper care. They can improve the appearance of your teeth and repair any damage that you may have incurred to your natural teeth, such as cracks or chips. The result is that you should have a more beautiful, natural-looking smile.
With composite bonding, you may prefer this treatment option as it is a less invasive procedure, which can also save you money. They are great for doing minor repairs such as small chips, cracks and gaps. They can also be used to change the shape or colour of your teeth, to give the appearance of your smile a more aesthetically pleasing result.
