Why I Don’t Recommend Composite Bonding:
• Even if the teeth are not shaved, composite material is added on top of your natural teeth, so you can never return to your original shape.
• The added composite layer makes teeth thicker, which can irritate the gums and affect natural contours.
• Color changes appear within 1–2 years — bonding stains and loses its natural shine faster than ceramics.
• Bonding does not allow perfect isolation, meaning microleakage and cavities can develop underneath.
• Over time, bonding can chip or detach, especially on patients who bite hard food or grind teeth.
• The overall result often looks less natural and less glossy compared to ceramics.

✅ Why Ceramic Veneers Are the Better Option:
• Requires minimal preparation — just enough to fit the veneer without adding extra thickness.
• Veneers are placed with perfect adaptation and finish line, ensuring smooth gum margins and no irritation.
• They are strong, durable, and last 10–15 years with proper care.
• Ceramic material doesn’t change color and maintains a natural shine.
• Allows complete control of shape, size, and color, achieving a perfectly customized smile.
• Resistant to staining from coffee, wine, or smoking.
• Look more natural, brighter, and healthier than composite bonding.
