Two Paths to a Better Smile
Veneers offer superior aesthetics and durability but at a higher cost. Bonding is more affordable and can be completed in one visit but does not last as long and may stain over time. The right choice depends on your budget, timeline, and aesthetic goals.

|---|---|---|
| Longevity | 10-15 years | 3-7 years |
| Stain resistance | Excellent | Moderate |
| Natural appearance | Superior — translucent like enamel | Good — less light-reflective |
| Visits required | 2-3 | 1 |
| Cost per tooth | $2,000-$4,000 | $300-$600 |
