Esthetic Bonding, Veneers, or Crowns: Which is Best?

Esthetic Bonding, Veneers, or Crowns: Which is Best? | Dental Remedies
August 3, 2021

If you are unhappy with the way your teeth look, you have more options than ever before to correct any issues. You can get damaged teeth repaired, eliminate stained teeth (even if the stains are below the surface), and transform the look of your teeth with cosmetic dentistry. Three options that are available to help you get the smile of your dreams include esthetic bonding, veneers, and crowns. Which option is best for you? The answer to that question depends on the condition of your teeth, your goals for your smile, and your budget.

Esthetic bonding

Esthetic bonding is a process where tooth-colored composite resin is bonded to your teeth. This resin can hide discoloration and stains that do not respond to surface whitening efforts. Esthetic bonding can also be used to fill cavities and replace dark fillings, eliminate gaps, and repair dental disfigurations. In some situations, esthetic bonding can be used to fix chipped teeth as well. When compared to the other options of veneers and crowns, esthetic bonding is extremely affordable and can be completed quickly.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are another cosmetic dentistry procedure that can transform your smile. Veneers are thin tooth-shaped pieces of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Veneers can be used to cover deep stains, hide cracked teeth, fix chipped teeth, change the shape of your teeth, and fill gaps. You can work with your dentist to get a set of veneers that provide you with a smile that is exactly what you want. Porcelain veneers do take more prep-work than esthetic bonding but the transformation they can provide has the potential to be much more dramatic.

Porcelain crowns

Porcelain crowns are the next step up from veneers. Crowns are also made using porcelain but they are designed to completely encapsulate your teeth. Crowns have the potential to cover severe damage and completely change the look of your smile. The process of getting crowns is more involved and invasive. Your dentist will not recommend crowns as an option unless the condition of your teeth makes crowns necessary.

Each of the three procedures outlined above can have a big impact on the appearance of your smile. Esthetic bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns can be used to cover deep discoloration, repair damage, and change the look of your smile. The best procedure for you is the one that can provide you with your desired results at the best price and lowest level of intervention. You and your dentist will work together to determine which of the three cosmetic procedures are right for you. If you are in St. Augustine and are considering cosmetic dentistry, schedule an appointment with Dr. Singh at Dental Remedies to discuss your needs, wants, and options.
