Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells made in a laboratory. They are more durable (10–15 years), offer a more natural appearance, and are more stain-resistant, but they require tooth reduction and are more expensive.
Composite bonding is applied directly to the tooth, requires minimal or no tooth reduction, is more affordable, and repairable; however, it has a shorter lifespan (5–7 years) and may discolor over time.

The choice depends on budget, the condition of the teeth, and expectations for longevity. Veneers are better for long-lasting and highly natural aesthetics.
If minimal tooth reduction and lower cost are priorities, composite bonding is a better option. Consultation with a dentist is essential.

The cost of porcelain veneers is generally higher than composite bonding and varies depending on the brand, number of teeth, and clinic.
An exact price requires examination, but composite is more economical, while veneers are considered a long-term investment.

No, dental scaling is not harmful and is necessary, as plaque and tartar can cause gum disease and tooth decay.

The choice depends on the tooth condition to achieve the most natural result.

Veneers can be removed, but due to initial tooth reduction, the tooth will require restoration or a new crown.
Veneers are considered a permanent treatment, so careful consultation is essential.

Yes, if teeth are misaligned or jaw discrepancies exist, orthodontic treatment is recommended first for a more durable and natural aesthetic result.
Without alignment, veneers or composite may create an unnatural appearance.

Sensitivity to hot and cold is often a sign of tooth decay, gum recession, or cracked teeth and requires examination.
