Modern cosmetic dentistry gives patients the opportunity to comprehensively improve the appearance of their smile. Whether it's minor discoloration, chipped teeth or more serious damage - solutions such as bonding, veneers or crowns allow you to regain a beautiful and natural smile.
What are the differences between bonding, veneers and crowns?
Bonding is a procedure that involves applying a special composite to the surface of the tooth that matches the rest of the dentition in color and shape. It is quick, non-invasive and ideal for minor aesthetic corrections.
Veneers are thin porcelain caps that are glued to the front surface of teeth. They perfectly mask discoloration, unevenness, and improve the shape and symmetry of the smile.
Prosthetic crowns are a more advanced solution used for severely damaged teeth, after root canal treatment or on implants. They cover the entire tooth, providing both durability and a natural look.
When to choose bonding?
Bonding will work well for patients with minor enamel damage, small cavities, gaps between teeth (diastema) or light discoloration. It is a solution for patients who are looking for a quick, non-invasive aesthetic improvement without having to grind their teeth.
When is it a good idea to opt for veneers?
Veneers are ideal for patients who want to dramatically improve the appearance of their smile. They work well for discoloration that is impossible to whiten, for irregularly shaped teeth or unevenness. They require minimal tooth grinding, but provide the effect of a natural, symmetrical smile for years to come.
When is a crown a necessity?
A crown is the best solution for teeth that are severely damaged, after root canal treatment, with large fillings or with a brittle structure. It covers the entire tooth, strengthens it and allows it to regain functionality and aesthetics. It is also used on implants as part of prosthetic restoration.
Comparison of solutions: bonding, veneers, crowns
| Method | Durability | Invasiveness | Cost | Indications |
| Bonding | 2-5 years | very low | low | minor defects, discoloration |
| Veneers | 10-15 years | low | medium/high | smile makeover |
| Crowns | 10-20 years | medium/high | higher | damaged teeth, root canal treatment |
The choice of an appropriate aesthetic solution should always be preceded by a professional dental consultation. Each case is different, and the condition of the teeth, the patient's expectations and financial possibilities are crucial.
