What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are crafted using a specialized resin applied directly to the teeth. The dentist sculpts and polishes the final shape chairside, making it a convenient option for cosmetic improvement.
Benefits of Composite Veneers
- Affordable compared to porcelain veneers
- Same-day results for quick smile upgrades
- Minimally invasive, usually requiring no enamel removal
- Easy to repair if chipped
- Natural-looking finish
The Application Process
- Consultation and shade selection
- Tooth preparation (minimal or none)
- Layering of resin material
- Shaping and curing with a special light
- Polishing to match natural tooth shine
Maintenance and Longevity
Composite veneers typically last 4–8 years with proper care. To extend their lifespan:
- Avoid biting hard objects
- Limit staining foods
- Maintain regular dental cleanings
- Practice excellent oral hygiene
