Veneers vs Composite bonding: which is right for you?
Both fix chips, gaps and discolouration — porcelain veneers are the durable lab-made option, bonding the reversible same-day one.
How Veneers works
Porcelain veneers are custom shells bonded to lightly prepared front surfaces. They resist staining, mimic enamel's translucency and last 10–15 years.
How Composite bonding works
Bonding sculpts composite resin directly onto the tooth in one visit, usually with no drilling. It costs a fraction of porcelain but stains over time and lasts 5–7 years.
Which to choose
Whole-smile makeovers and stain-prone habits favour porcelain. Single chips, small gaps or a first, reversible improvement favour bonding.
Prices abroad
Accredited clinics abroad typically price both options 50–70% below Western European and UK rates, all-inclusive. Compare written quotes for both on GetClinic and discuss suitability in a free video consultation before booking either.
