Composite Veneers
Overview
Composite veneers use tooth-coloured filling material sculpted and bonded to the front of teeth. They can often be placed in fewer visits than porcelain and repaired more easily, but may stain or chip sooner than ceramics in some patients. We compare composite versus porcelain for your bite, habits, and aesthetic goals.
Benefits
- Often more conservative than full crowns
- Repairable if a corner chips
- Can trial shape before committing to porcelain
Treatment Process
Shade and shape are planned, teeth may be lightly prepared, composite is layered and hardened with light, then polished. Review appointments fine-tune bite and gloss.
FAQs
Composite vs porcelain veneers?
Composite can be faster and more repairable; porcelain often lasts longer and resists stain better. We recommend based on your case.
