When it comes to smile makeovers, veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments. If you're considering improving the shape, color, or alignment of your teeth, you’ve likely come across the term bonding veneers—but what exactly are they?
In this guide, we’ll explain what bonding veneers are and break down the differences between porcelain and composite veneers, so you can make an informed decision about your smile.
Bonding veneers are thin layers of tooth-colored material placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. The term "bonding" refers to how the veneer is attached (bonded) to the natural tooth using a special dental adhesive.
There are two main types of bonding veneer materials:
Composite resin
Porcelain (ceramic)
Each type has its own advantages, costs, and treatment process.
| Feature | Composite Veneers | Porcelain Veneers |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Tooth-colored resin (similar to filling) | High-quality ceramic |
| Application | Directly applied and shaped on the tooth | Custom-made in a dental lab |
| Treatment Time | Usually completed in one visit | Requires 2–3 visits |
| Durability | 4–7 years (depending on care) | 10–15+ years |
| Aesthetic Result | Natural, but less translucent | More natural, brighter, and life-like |
| Cost | More affordable | Higher cost |
| Reparability | Easy to repair if chipped | Harder to repair; may need full replacement |
