If you are looking to improve your smile, you don’t have to go further than HR Family Dental in Highlands Ranch, Colorado! We offer both dental bonding and dental veneers to repair chips, gaps, stains, and other imperfections in your teeth.
What’s the Difference?
Dental Veneers
If you want to go all-out and give your teeth a completely new look, you can opt for veneers. They are thin shells, which can be made of different materials but are usually made of porcelain. The dentists at HR Family Dental can bond them to your teeth, covering teeth that have been chipped, stained, are uneven, or short. Because they are costlier, they are very close to natural teeth. They do not stain as easily and can reflect light the way that the rest of your teeth do, giving your entire smile a very natural look. Because they are more natural, they also require more preparation and work. You should expect to visit our HR Family Dental clinic several times.
Dental Bonding
If you want a more economical option for tooth repair, you can consider getting dental bonds. This does not take as much time as veneers, but it also is more likely to stain or scratch over time. That means dental bonding may require touch-ups in the future. Instead of putting a porcelain shell over your teeth, a tooth-colored resin will be applied directly to your teeth. The dentist will them sculpt the resin to mold to your teeth and mouth, giving you a natural look as well. When you look closely, the dental bonding may not reflect light as naturally as the veneers. This means that you may be able to tell the difference between teeth with and without bonding, but generally, the difference is not significant enough to notice.
