FAQS
How long do composite veneers last?
Composite veneers generally last 5 to 7 years with good care, though they may need touch-ups sooner than porcelain due to their softer material.
Are composite veneers as strong as porcelain?
Composite is durable but more prone to staining and chipping over time compared to porcelain. Many patients choose composite for a faster, more budget-friendly option, then consider porcelain later if desired.
Can composite veneers stain?
Yes, composite is more porous than porcelain, so it can pick up stains from coffee, tea, or wine over time. We'll advise you on care to help maintain their appearance.
Is the process painful?
Not typically. Composite veneers usually require little to no removal of tooth structure, and most patients need no numbing at all.
Composite VENEERS
How does it work?
Your dentist applies and sculpts composite resin directly onto the tooth surface, shaping it to correct imperfections, then hardens it with a curing light and polishes it to a natural, glossy finish, all typically in a single visit.
What are composite veneers?
