Bonding vs Veneers in Santa Monica, CA

Ready to whiten, repair, and refine your smile?

Direct composite veneers are the answer!

What are composite veneers?

Composite veneer treatment allows our dental team to repair damaged teeth, and improve the appearance of stained or misaligned smiles using composite resin. You may hear this treatment alternatively called dental bonding, chairside veneers, and direct composite bonding.

What can dental bonding do?

Composite veneers are exceptionally versatile! Use dental bonding to:

• Cover dark or stained enamel with white and fresh resin
• Repair cracks in the dental enamel
• Rebuild chipped away portions of your teeth
• Close gaps between your teeth
• Make misaligned teeth appear straight and seamless

Direct Composite Veneers vs. Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are crafted from, you guessed it, thin layers of porcelain. Direct composite veneers, on the other hand, are made of custom-shaded
dental resin, which is then cured so that it bonds to the tooth.

Compared to porcelain restorations, direct composite veneers are:

• Fast: Composite veneers are completed in just one day; porcelain restorations take multiple appointments to complete
• Conservative and reversible: Dental bonding is non-invasive, and does not require our team to irreversibly
  alter your real teeth; In order to place porcelain veneers, on the other hand, your dentist will need to shave away your natural tooth
• Affordable: Composite veneers are significantly more affordable than porcelain veneers
• Simple to repair: Our dental team can easily restore composite veneers if necessary; porcelain veneers cannot be repaired,
  and must be replaced if damaged
