Which One to Choose?
When there is choice between porcelain veneers and dental bonding, both are very similar in treatment. They are used to improve the appearance of your teeth and the choice ultimately depends on your specific wants and needs. It is best recommended to consult with your professional dental provider about what option is best for you. Veneers are often viewed as more of a long-term and permanent commitment, whereas dental bonding are more of a cosmetic enhancement. But, like any choice comes with pros and cons and what may or may not be beneficial towards you and your smile.
