Choosing depends on your goals: Bonding is great for minor fixes — small chips, small gaps, or slight discoloration. Veneers are better for more dramatic, long-lasting cosmetic changes — like changing tooth shape, covering deeper stains, or making a more uniform smile. Your dentist at richmond shine dental will evaluate your oral health, budget, and aesthetic goals to recommend the best treatment.
Dental bonding typically lasts 5–10 years, depending on how well you care for it. Porcelain veneers are more durable and can last 10–15 years or more with proper oral hygiene.
There may be minor sensitivity for a short period: For bonding, since no or very little enamel is removed, discomfort is usually minimal. For veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed to make space, so temporary sensitivity to hot or cold is possible. Any sensitivity typically subsides in a few days.
No — most whitening treatments (bleaching) do not affect the color of composite resin or porcelain used in bonding/veneers. This is why many patients choose their final shade during planning. If you plan to whiten, it's often better to do that before getting the restorations done.
To maximize longevity: Brush and floss regularly, just like natural teeth. Avoid biting very hard objects (ice, nails, etc.) to reduce risk of chipping. Visit richmond shine dental for regular check-ups and cleanings — your dentist can monitor the condition and suggest touch-ups when needed.
