TOOTH BONDING OR PORCELAIN VENEERS?

Tooth bonding and porcelain veneers can both be used to address teeth that are:

• Chipped or cracked
• Irregularly sized
• Unevenly spaced
• Crooked
• Discolored

These cosmetic dentistry treatments allow Barrie dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick to produce a straight, white, and flawlessly beautiful smile and may even be used together for a complete smile makeover. However, there are some distinct differences between the two that may make one better suited for your particular needs.

Tooth bonding is applied to the surface of teeth. Once placed, bonding can be sculpted to match adjacent teeth in shape and size, and polished to produce the look of natural tooth enamel. Tooth bonding is placed over a single office visit and can last for several years when cared for properly.

Porcelain veneers are one of the most effective cosmetic dentistry solutions available today. Placed over the front of teeth, veneers are shaped, sized, and colored to both fit seamlessly into, and significantly enhance the appearance of, your smile. Stronger than bonding, veneers can last for ten or more years.

There are advantages offered by each of these treatments that make them better for specific needs. During your cosmetic dentistry consultation at our Barrie office, Dr. Chapnick can help you determine which one is best for your smile.
