Veneers and Bonding
If you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your teeth with natural-looking results, veneers and bonding may be options for you to consider. These cosmetic treatments can improve the shape, colour, and overall balance of your smile.
In simple terms, veneers cover the entire front surface of a tooth, while bonding is applied to a smaller area to correct specific imperfections. At Yorkview Dental, our dental team provides these treatments with precision and care, to achieve results that blend naturally with your existing teeth.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a straightforward, comfortable procedure. Using tooth-coloured composite resin, your dentist can:
Repair minor chips or cracks
Close small spaces between teeth
Reshape worn or uneven edges
Cover deep or internal stains that whitening can’t fully remove
The resin is applied, shaped, and hardened with a special curing light before being polished to match your natural enamel.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed on the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. They’re designed to enhance the brightness and symmetry of your smile while maintaining a natural look and feel. Veneers may be recommended for:
Stained or discoloured teeth resistant to whitening
Chipped, worn, or uneven teeth
Minor alignment or spacing concerns
Composite Resin Veneers can usually be completed in one visit, they require minimal to no enamel removal, and they are cost effective and repairable. They are considered slightly less durable than porcelain.
Which Option Is Right for Me?
Your Yorkview Dental dentist will take the time to review your oral health, discuss your goals, and help you choose the cosmetic option that best fits your needs. Both veneers and bonding can offer long-lasting, aesthetic improvements when paired with good oral hygiene and routine dental visits.
