Composite Veneers May Be The Right Solution for Your Smile

If you want to regain confidence in your smile by addressing issues with your damaged, stained, damaged or crooked teeth, composite veneers may be the right solution for you.

Instead of a porcelain ceramic material, composite resin veneers are made from a tooth-colored mixture of glass and plastic molded onto a tooth’s surface. It is the same material used for tooth bonding.

Composite veneers are different from porcelain veneers in several ways. While they are less expensive and more durable generally, they usually last a fraction of the time of porcelain veneers.

Benefits of Composite Veneers

Composite veneers offer many strengths and benefits, providing a convenient path to smile enhancement:

• A fast way to achieve a bright smile
• Easier to care for than porcelain veneers
• Require less preparation than porcelain veneers
• Usually applied in only one visit

Differentiating Composite Veneers from Other Veneer Types

While many clients choose composite veneers for their customizability, convenience, and affordability, they have some drawbacks when compared to other veneer varieties:

• Composite resin veneers only last 4-8 years before you will need them reapplied, versus approximately 10 years for porcelain veneers
• Composite resin veneers have a higher risk of staining or discoloration over time than porcelain veneers, so maintaining proper oral hygiene is vital
• Composite veneers are more prone to chipping than porcelain veneers

We will assess the suitable options for your smile during your visit. Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation.

The Extra Importance of Oral Hygiene with Composite Veneers

Just as it remains crucial to care for your teeth, you must take proper care of your composite veneers. Though composite veneers are a faster route to a bright smile, they can be more prone to chipping or wear. You need to attend carefully to proper oral hygiene to avoid discoloration.

You must commit to responsible oral hygiene when choosing this convenient veneer option. We can advise you regarding proper care for your teeth and veneers before and after you confirm this is your preferred choice for your smile.
