Are you looking for the BEST cosmetic dental treatment in Wokingham? Maybe you simply want to fall in love with your smile again but aren’t sure whether composite or veneer treatment is right for you. If this sounds familiar, then keep reading!
Both treatments can completely refresh your smile’s appearance, but they differ in how they work, how long they last and how much they cost.
What’s The Difference Between Composite Bonding & Porcelain Veneers?
Both veneer and composite bonding treatments can improve the shape, size and overall appearance of your teeth, including concerns such as chips, uneven edges and small gaps. But how do they differ?
Porcelain Veneers in Wokingham
Porcelain veneers are very thin, custom-made ceramic shells that are carefully secured to the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, size and colour. A professional dental lab designs and creates your veneers to suit your smile goals before your dentist fits them.
Veneers are considered a minimally invasive yet permanent treatment because the dentist prepares your natural teeth by removing a very small amount of enamel, helping the veneer adhere better.
One of the biggest advantages of porcelain veneers is their durability. With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, your veneers can last 10 to 15 years! They are also highly stain-resistant, making them a favourite for those seeking a long-lasting smile makeover.
Composite Bonding at Tranquil Dental
If you’re looking for something a little less permanent yet cost-effective, composite bonding could be for you. Rather than attaching a veneer shell, your Tranquil dentist will carefully apply a tooth-coloured composite resin directly to the tooth, then shape and polish it to the desired form and size.
Unlike veneers, composite bonding requires little to no removal of the tooth structure and can be fitted by a dentist in just ONE appointment! This treatment, however, doesn’t last as long as veneers—up to 7 years, depending on how well you look after your new teeth. They are also less stain-resistant and durable than porcelain and can chip or discolour over time. The upside, however, is that they are usually easy to repair and refresh if needed!
