Composite Veneers

Composite veneers also known as Composite bonding, are applied directly onto a patient’s tooth in one visit, as opposed to being made in a laboratory like porcelain veneers. A Composite veneer is effective in changing the colour, shape, and size of a tooth very quickly.

When are Composite veneers used?

Composite veneers are suitable for a variety of situations, such as:

Damaged teeth – Often, composite bonding is the cheapest, quickest and easiest way to repair a damaged tooth.

Stained/Crooked teeth – If teeth whitening has been unsuccessful Composite bonding can be used to cover undesirable stains, white patches and discolouration of the tooth.

Misaligned teeth – Composite can also be used to reduce or fully correct the misalignment of crooked teeth.

Closing gaps – Composite veneers can be the ideal choice of treatment in such situations. A tooth gap closure with composite requires no tooth removal.

What are the alternatives to Composite veneers?

Different types of porcelain veneers are also available at Pearl dental clinic.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Composite & Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers last on average 7 – 10 years, and do not stain. Composites last on average around 3-5 years and may stain. Although if they do stain, the stains can be easily removed by a dentist.
If composite veneers fracture, they are repairable quickly in the mouth in one visit, reasonably cheaply and quickly. This is one of the biggest advantages of Composite veneers over porcelain veneers. Fractured porcelain veneers will need to remade in the lab and will require 2 visits over 2 weeks, which is also more costly.
Usually with Composite veneers there is no need for shaving down teeth. Porcelain veneers usually require tooth shaving which can make teeth sensitive afterwards.
Only one visit is required to complete Composite bonding treatment. Porcelain veneers usually require a number of visits.
To achieve excellent results, Composites are technically and artistically demanding. Patients should always ensure that the provider has enough experience in doing this treatment by looking at photos of their previous work.
Composite veneers cost £245 per tooth and porcelain/ceramic veneers cost £695 per tooth. The treatment cost can be spread interest free with our 0% finance plans.

What Is The Procedure For Getting Composite Veneers?

After having your consultation to assess the suitability of your teeth for composite veneers, a trial smile can be done. A trial smile is a process of making the changes to your teeth on a cast model. Based on the shape and design that you wish to have for your composite veneers and teeth, the dental technician, using wax, makes veneers on the cast model of your teeth. This is a mock build up of the composite veneers to allow you to see a preview of your composite veneers before having them done.

In the meantime, you proceed with the whitening of your teeth if you have decided to whiten your teeth before the composite veneers are done. When you are happy with your teeth whitening result, the composite veneers are directly added to your teeth, shaped, contoured and polished in a single visit.
