Compare options
Which is better: composite bonding or ceramic veneers?
Composite bonding is usually the more conservative and repairable option, while ceramic veneers are more stain resistant and may offer greater durability where shape or colour needs a larger change. The right choice depends on enamel, bite, tooth position and the result that can be achieved without over-treatment.
