Veneers can be made from either composite resin or ceramic, both of which have their own advantages.
Porcelain is the most common material used for veneers. They are tooth-coloured, versatile, completely custom, and last for years depending on your level of care and maintenance. Porcelain veneers are made of ceramic materials and resist stains better than composite veneers.
Composite resin veneers are a cosmetic alternative to porcelain veneers. They are made of the same material used for tooth-coloured cavity fillings. The only difference is they are slightly cheaper than porcelain veneers.
Book an Appointment
When you visit us for a veneer consultation, your dentist will explain the treatment process and help you to choose the exact shade you would like.
Your dentist will prepare your natural teeth for the application of the veneers and they will be fixed into place at the next visit.
You will leave with a brand new, sparkling smile.
If you take good care of them, composite veneers can last around 3-7 years whereas ceramic veneers can stay on average for 10-15 years. Once veneers are applied, just treat them like natural teeth. You must maintain regular oral hygiene at home and visit us for routine hygiene to ensure that your new veneers will continue to look great.
Generally, veneers require two visits: one to shape the teeth and one to cement these natural looking veneers to the teeth. Between visits, your dentist can place attractive provisional veneers to help prevent sensitivity, allow function, and provide a nice smile. These provisional veneers are designed to be in your mouth for a limited time but should be comfortable until your new veneers are completed.
