What Is Porcelain Bonding?
Many people confuse dental bonding with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin shells made from high-grade ceramic that are custom-made to adhere to the front surfaces of your teeth.
Dental bonding, on the other hand, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves preparing the surface of your tooth and applying resin on top to create the desired look.
Dental bonding isn’t a permanent solution and may require touch-ups every three to ten years depending on your individual circumstances.
Porcelain veneers or porcelain bonding teeth give the appearance of genuine teeth and are meant to restore the appearance of your teeth.
While dental bonding may not require significant enamel removal, porcelain veneers require a more invasive procedure. Once placed, porcelain veneers are not reversible and must be replaced every 10 to 20 years.
In contrast, dental bonding is completely reversible and can be removed with minimal damage to the tooth.
Benefits of Porcelain Bonding
Veneers and bonding are two popular cosmetic dental procedures that help restore the appearance of teeth.
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for those looking to enhance the appearance of their smile.
Although they require a more intensive procedure than dental bonding, their benefits are well worth the investment:
- One of the biggest benefits of porcelain veneers is that you can decide how much you want to improve your smile, even if it's just one tooth.
- Both veneers and bonding can be color-matched to blend in with your natural teeth, but porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and more translucent and natural-looking than bonding.
- Porcelain veneers are custom-fabricated to match your natural teeth, making them less likely to stand out.
- They are made from advanced dental ceramics that are incredibly strong like tank armor.
- Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic dental concerns, including discolored, crooked, crowded, gapped, rotated, and poorly shaped teeth.
- Teeth whitening may not always provide the desired results for people with naturally dull or thin enamel, enamel defects, or teeth discolored from within. Veneers can address these issues and provide long-lasting results.
- Porcelain veneers can straighten your teeth in just a month or so, earning them the nickname "instant orthodontics."
- Porcelain veneers are so natural-looking that most people won't be able to distinguish the veneer from natural teeth.

The Procedure of Porcelain Bonding
The process of applying porcelain veneers or bonding involves the following:
1. anesthesia
Before starting the porcelain veneer procedure, your dentist will typically give you a local anesthetic to ensure that you're comfortable during the process.
2. Enamel removal
Once you're numb, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneers. Don't worry, this procedure is painless and straightforward.
3. Molding the teeth
Next, your dentist will make a mold of your teeth, which is used to custom-make your porcelain veneers. The mold is sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians create veneers that perfectly match your natural teeth.
4. Placing temporary veneers
While you wait for your veneers to be ready, your dentist may place temporary veneers on your teeth. These temporary veneers are fragile and require extra care during eating and cleaning.
5. Placing the permanent veneers
When your custom-made veneers are ready, your dentist will remove the temporary ones and put a mild chemical on your teeth to make them a little rough. They will carefully glue each porcelain veneer to your teeth using composite resin cement.
Risks Porcelain Bonding
Porcelain veneer treatment, when performed correctly by dental professionals, is generally safe and effective.
However, like any other dental treatment, there are minimal risks involved along with certain side effects that you should consider before deciding on this option.
While these are not life-threatening, they can be avoided with proper care. Here are some of the potential side effects and risks of porcelain veneer treatment:
- Tooth Sensitivity: It's common to experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after getting porcelain veneers.
- Irregularities in Color: Sometimes, the color of the veneers may not match perfectly with the rest of your teeth.
- Gum Tissues’ Adjustment delay: Your gum tissues may take some time to adjust to the new veneers, which can cause some discomfort or irritation.
- Discomfort: You may experience some discomfort or soreness in your teeth and gums after the procedure.
- Higher Risk of Trauma: Porcelain veneers are more susceptible to trauma than natural teeth, which means that they may chip or crack more easily.
- Poor Fit: In rare cases, the veneers may not fit properly, which can cause discomfort, sensitivity, and even damage to the veneers or your natural teeth.
Cost of Porcelain Bonding
Porcelain veneers or bonding is an affordable option for people looking for cosmetic dental treatment. Although they cost significantly more than dental bonding, they are more durable and long-lasting. In Turkey, the cost of porcelain veneers doesn’t exceed 300 US dollars.
