00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.540
Composite bonding versus porcelain veneers.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.240
What is the technical difference?

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:09.620
Composite is a tooth -colored resin that we
apply and sculpt directly onto the

00:00:09.620 --> 00:00:14.000
tooth. It can often be done very
conservatively and gives us a lot of

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:14.900
control chair side.

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:19.400
Porcelain veneers are custom -made ceramic
restorations that are bonded to

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.180
the teeth. They typically require some
preparation, but they offer excellent

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:27.520
color stability, stain resistance, and a
very durable surface.

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:32.300
composite is generally easier to repair,
while porcelain tends to be

00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:34.040
more resistant to staining and wear.

00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:38.760
Neither is actually better, it really comes
down to your tooth structure, your

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:41.460
bite, your goals, and the specific case.
