Veneers vs
Composite Bonding
Both treatments transform your smile — but they suit different situations, budgets and expectations. Here is an honest comparison from the team at Tower Dental Blackpool.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding: from £333/tooth. One visit. Reversible. Lasts 5-7 years. Ideal for minor improvements — chips, small gaps, slight discolouration. Can stain over time.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers: from £471/tooth. Two visits. Permanent (requires tooth preparation). Lasts 15-20 years. Ideal for comprehensive transformations — colour, shape, alignment. Stain-resistant.
Our Recommendation
Start with bonding if your changes are minor and you want to keep costs low. Choose veneers if you want maximum impact and longevity. Many patients start with bonding and upgrade to veneers later. Your £40 Smile Consultation covers both options.

Porcelain and Composite Veneers for Vs Bonding Patients
Dental veneers are one of the most effective ways to transform your smile. Whether you want to correct discolouration, chips, gaps, worn edges or misshapen teeth, veneers provide a natural, long-lasting result. At Tower Dental, we offer both porcelain and composite veneers for patients from Vs Bonding and across the Fylde Coast.
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted laboratory shells bonded to the front of your teeth — exceptionally strong, stain-resistant, and lasting 10 to 15 years. They require 0.3 to 0.5mm of enamel removal and two appointments. Composite veneers (bonding) are sculpted directly in a single appointment with minimal or no enamel removal — lasting 5 to 7 years at a lower cost. Vs Bonding is a community within easy reach of our Devonshire Road practice, approximately 15 minutes from our Devonshire Road practice.
Veneer Costs
Porcelain veneers cost from £471 per tooth. Composite bonding from £333 per tooth. Most patients choose 4 to 8 teeth for a balanced, symmetrical result. We offer 0% interest-free finance. Book a consultation and our cosmetic dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend whether porcelain or composite is the better option.
