Veneers and bonding
in Bexley, OH.
Chips, small gaps, stubborn stains, and uneven edges can make you hold back your smile. Veneers and bonding both fix those problems in different ways. At Carroll Family Dental in Bexley, we help you choose the option that fits your goals and budget, and we shape every result to look like your own natural teeth.
Veneers or bonding?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells custom made to cover the front of your teeth. Bonding uses tooth colored resin that we sculpt and harden right on the tooth. Veneers last longer and resist stains better, while bonding is quicker, more affordable, and more conservative.
What each one fixes
Bonding is ideal for small chips, minor gaps, and touching up a single tooth. Veneers are better for bigger changes in shape, size, or color across several teeth. Some patients combine the two, using veneers for the most visible teeth and bonding elsewhere.
What the process looks like
Bonding is usually finished in one visit, often without removing any enamel. Veneers typically take two visits, one to prepare the teeth and plan the design and one to place the final veneers. You will be able to preview the look before anything is permanent.
Caring for your smile
No special care is needed beyond brushing, flossing, and regular checkups. Avoid biting pens, ice, or fingernails. If you grind your teeth, a night guard protects your new smile. Thinking about whitening too? Do it first, so we can match your veneers or bonding to your brighter shade.

Finding good healthcare in a new neighborhood can be challenging, but CFD made it a no-brainer for dentistry. They’re extremely professional, efficient, AND kind. A special shoutout to Dr. Kripke who’s been a great resource and really focuses on setting me up for lifelong success. Grateful to have this dental practice in my life.

Made me feel comfortable in the office - I have anxiety about going to the dentist. Talked through my oral health and X-rays with me in a way no dentist has ever done before. Would recommend!

Questions
about veneers and bonding.
Veneers are custom porcelain shells that cover the front of the teeth. Bonding is tooth colored resin applied and shaped directly on the tooth.
Porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years. Bonding usually lasts three to seven years, depending on habits like grinding and nail biting.
No. We match the color, shape, and translucency to your natural teeth so they blend in.
Veneers require removing a small amount of enamel, so they are permanent. Bonding usually does not require removing enamel.
Whitening does not change porcelain or resin, so we recommend whitening first and then matching your veneers or bonding to your new shade.
Bonding is usually done in one visit. Veneers typically take two.
