Direct Answers

Is composite bonding cheaper than veneers?
Yes, the upfront cost is lower. However, composite bonding needs replacement every 5-7 years, while porcelain veneers last 15-20 years. Consider cost-per-year when comparing.
Can I get bonding on some teeth and veneers on others?
Yes. We often combine both treatments — using bonding for minor corrections and porcelain for teeth requiring more significant transformation. The key is achieving a cohesive, natural result.
Which looks more natural?
For single-tooth repairs, both look excellent. For full-arch transformations, porcelain veneers offer superior translucency and depth that composite cannot fully replicate.
