How to choose between veneers, crowns, or bonding

Not sure which cosmetic treatment is right for your smile? Veneers, crowns, and bonding can all improve the appearance of your teeth — but they serve slightly different purposes depending on your needs.

🦷 Veneers

  • Thin porcelain or composite shells
  • Best for covering stains, gaps, or slightly crooked teeth
  • Requires some enamel removal (except no-prep options)

👑 Crowns

  • Full coverage over the entire tooth
  • Ideal for teeth with extensive damage, large fillings, or after root canals
  • Offers both cosmetic and functional protection

✨ Bonding

  • Tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the tooth
  • Great for fixing chips, small gaps, or minor discolouration
  • Most affordable option, usually completed in one visit

💡 What to Consider

  • Tooth health: Crowns may be needed if there’s structural damage
  • Budget: Bonding is the most cost-effective, veneers and crowns cost more
  • Longevity: Veneers and crowns last longer than bonding
