Veneers and Composite Bonding

What Are Dental Veneers?

A veneer is a thin piece of hard material that covers the front surface of a tooth to make it look better. Veneers are used for several different clinical reasons including adding some strength and integrity to a tooth and also for cosmetic purposes.

Why Do People Get Veneers?

Veneers are used for different reasons. They might be used to cover a tooth that’s discolored or damaged or malformed or not the right shape.

Veneers can stain like your real teeth, and they don’t last forever. However, veneers can make a big difference in how a tooth looks.

What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is when your dentist uses a liquid or soft resin material to cover a tooth. The resin will harden, and your tooth will either look better or function better or both.

Deciding whether to use veneers or composite bonding is a clinical decision that the dentist will make depending on your unique case.

These are just two examples of many ways that dentist can repair and improve both the appearance and function of teeth.
