Porcelain veneers or Bonded Veneers?

I'm getting veneers next month to get solid color teeth in the front instead of decalcification. Can someone tell me if porcelain or bonded veneers would be a better option? Thanks

Porcelain veneers or Bonded Veneers?
Bonding and veneers are two different things completely. Bonding is a composite resin, plastic filling material that is bonded to the teeth. It can stain and wear out and usually needs replacing every 5 to 7 years. Porcelain veneers are like false fingernails. They cover the facing of the tooth and wrap around the sides. They don't stain and are meant to be permanent. Of course, there is a substantial difference in the cost between both options.





Attached are links that illustrate the differences.
