Dental veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth, used to correct tooth imperfections, such as stained or chipped teeth.
Crowns are thicker and cover the entire tooth whereas veneers are thinner and designed to just cover the front of the tooth.
Veneers are not a magical solution for your teeth and gums. A veneer cannot get tooth decay, but it’s possible to get a cavity in a tooth that is covered by veneer
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored composite resin material to enhance your smile. This procedure is used to repair chips, close down gaps, or change the shape and color of your teeth.
During dental bonding, your dentist will let your tooth-colored resin be shaped and polished. Dental bonding will take just about 30-60 minutes to cure.
Taking care of your bonded teeth helps extend its life. Self-care tips include:
✓ Avoiding coffee, tea, and tobacco for the first two days after the procedure to avoid stains
✓ Avoiding hard food and candy
✓ Brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily
✓ Not biting your nails
✓ Scheduling regular dental cleanings every six months
