While composite bonding and porcelain veneers solve some of the same problems, some distinct differences exist.
#1 Porcelain Veneers are a Permanent Solution
Porcelain veneers require Dr. Holliday to remove a small amount of tooth enamel so the veneer fits flush with your tooth. This requirement makes them a permanent solution.
Composite bonding adds material to your tooth and doesn't require the removal of any tooth structure, so it is considered a reversible procedure.
#2 Porcelain Veneers Take a Few Weeks to Complete
Since porcelain veneers are handcrafted in a dental lab, it takes two to three weeks to complete your new smile. We can typically complete a new smile with composite bonding in one appointment at our West Seattle dental office.
#3 Composite Bonding Tends to Be Less Expensive
Composite veneers are one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures and deliver beautiful enhancements for your smile.
