What are the advantages of Composite Veneers?

Composite veneers are a type of dental veneer that can correct most dental defects and dramatically enhance your smile. This treatment is one of the many alternatives tooth bonding has to offer, a technique that is becoming increasingly popular these days.

When are the Composite Veneers a good choice?

Composite veneers are a perfect alternative for those patients looking for an affordable treatment to improve their smile appearance. These dental veneers can mask nearly all dental imperfections, including alterations in size, shape, or color, severe staining, gaps between teeth and mild teeth misalignment. Cosmetic Dentist at BowTie Dental Studio believes this treatment can benefit many patients who are after a smile makeover.

Advantages of Composite Veneers

  • Minimally invasive procedure: composite veneers are directly bonded to your natural teeth, requiring no enamel file down. This means that your tooth structure is not affected at all, becoming one of the most conservative ways of transforming your smile.
  • Fast results: the clinical procedure that this type of dental veneer involves can be carried out in only one appointment. After an initial consultation in which you and our dentist agree on the course of treatment, the next time you visit our office, you will walk out with a brand new smile!
  • Customized smile: Whether you are looking for a subtle tweak or a dramatic smile transformation, composite veneers are the right option for you. The resin used for these dental veneers is highly aesthetic and comes in different shades, so you can obtain the exact results you’re looking for.
  • Affordable solution: these dental veneers are manufactured in the dental office, so they don’t require the service of a dental lab. This makes them less expensive than other alternatives.

The difference between Composite veneers and Porcelain veneers

The main difference is the material that is used to manufacture the veneers. While porcelain veneers are made of ceramic, composite veneers are made of resin. Although they are both suitable for this treatment, they have different characteristics. 

Ceramic is stain-resistant, more durable (so porcelain veneers are expected to last longer), and has better optical properties, achieving slightly better aesthetic results. However, they require enamel file down, permanently altering teeth structure, and are made in a dental lab, which implies a longer and more expensive treatment.

If you have doubts about which dental veneers would be a better option for you, there is always a possibility to schedule a consultation with Cosmetic Dentist to find out more.
