Cosmetic fixes for chipped, stained or uneven teeth.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin that is shaped and hardened on the tooth to repair chips, close small gaps or change the shape or colour. Veneers are thin shells, usually porcelain or composite, bonded to the front of the tooth to improve its appearance.
Bonding is usually completed in a single visit and is often the more affordable option, while veneers are more durable and resist staining better but need a little more preparation of the tooth.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist helps you decide which option is right for your teeth and your goals, and explains what to expect.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Duration | Bonding: 30–60 minutes per tooth; veneers: usually 2–3 visits |
| Preparation | A check-up and cleaning first; bring photos of a smile you like; tell the dentist about teeth grinding, allergies and medicines |
| What Happens | The tooth surface is prepared, and for bonding the resin is applied, shaped and hardened; for veneers an impression is taken, temporary veneers may be placed, and the final veneers are bonded at a later visit |
| Who It's For | People with chipped, stained, gapped, misshapen or slightly uneven teeth, and healthy gums |
These treatments are recommended to improve the appearance of teeth when whitening alone is not enough.

Bonding builds up the tooth with resin, usually in one visit. Veneers are thin shells fitted over the front of the tooth and generally last longer and resist stains better.
Bonding often needs little or no anaesthesia. Veneers may need a small amount of tooth preparation, and the area is numbed if required.
With good care, both can last for years. Avoid biting hard objects such as pens or ice, and keep up with check-ups.
