Dental bonding vs. veneers—which one should I get?
Choosing between dental bonding and veneers depends on your specific dental concerns, budget, and desired outcome. Dental bonding is less expensive, quicker, and requires less enamel removal than veneers. It’s ideal for minor cosmetic changes, temporary correction of cosmetic defects, and for younger patients who may need to wait for more permanent restorations. Veneers, on the other hand, offer a more durable solution with materials that resist stains better and provide a superior aesthetic that can last for decades with proper care.

What is gum contouring?
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, is a cosmetic procedure that can reshape or resculpt your gum line. This procedure is often used to improve the appearance of “gummy” smiles where excessive gum tissue covers more of the tooth than is aesthetically pleasing. It can also correct uneven gum lines that make the teeth appear asymmetrical or misshapen. Gum contouring is typically performed with lasers and can significantly enhance the harmony and balance of your smile.

How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding typically lasts anywhere from 3 to 10 years before needing to be repaired or replaced, depending on the amount of bonding done and your oral hygiene practices. The longevity of bonding materials also depends on your habits, such as biting your nails, chewing on hard objects, or grinding your teeth, which can significantly shorten the life of the bonding. Regular check-ups and proper dental care will help extend the life of your dental bonding.
