Dental Bonding vs Porcelain Veneers

Dental Bonding vs Porcelain Veneers

It is true that the shape and color of our teeth greatly affect our self-esteem. You do not want anyone looking away from you after your first smile at them because the color or the shape of your teeth is not the best, or at least acceptable. As much as the appearance of our teeth might have been influenced by other factors outside of ourselves, everyone wants them nice enough to take away people’s breath when they smile. Tijuana Dentists have come up with some solutions that can help fix a variety of issues that may affect our teeth.

Porcelain veneers in Tijuana, also known as dental porcelain, are thin pieces of porcelain which are custom-made shells of tooth-colored material used to recreate the natural look of teeth and are meant to cover the teeth on the front to improve their appearance. They provide resilience and strength that can be compared to the natural tooth enamel. Veneers are bonded to the teeth to change length and shape, size and color.

Dental bonding in Tijuana, on the other hand, uses a material of the same color as the teeth called composite resin. It is a painless process used to make repairs, mostly minor, on the teeth by a dentist or a prosthodontics. It is put on the teeth and shaped then hardened with light.



Bonding is used in building up teeth, restoring broken teeth to size as well as be shaped to appear like a missing part of a chipped tooth. It can also be painted over a discolored tooth to give it a color matching the rest.

Veneers on the other hand are used to fix discoloration on teeth, uneven and misaligned shape, worn down teeth as well those chipped and broken. It is also used to close gaps between spaced teeth. Dentists agree that veneers are better than bonding because it lasts longer and does not stain which is common with bonding.
