What is the difference between bonding and porcelain veneers?

Composite bonding is best used to replace lost sections of anterior (front) teeth. They provide a natural appearance but need periodic replacement. Porcelain veneers are used as an esthetic correction for fractures, color, stains, or shape. Porcelain veneers are often used on multiple teeth. Full porcelain crowns must be considered as an alternative to porcelain veneers or bonding where the remaining tooth structure cannot support a more conservative restoration.
