Composite Veneers
A faster way to like
your smile again.
Composite veneers reshape chipped, gapped, uneven, or stained teeth using a tooth-colored resin, sculpted and bonded directly onto your teeth. The real difference from porcelain: composite needs little to no removal of healthy tooth structure, and it's
usually finished in a single visit.
The common misconception: that composite is just a cheaper porcelain. It's a different material with different trade-offs — not a downgrade, a different choice.
What's it like?
1
The consultation. We look at your teeth and talk through what you want changed, and whether composite is the right fit for it.
2
The shaping. Resin is applied and sculpted directly onto your teeth, chairside.
3
The bonding. Each layer is cured and bonded as we go
4
The polish. Teeth are shaped and polished to match the rest of your smile.
5
Leaving the same day- usually finished in one visit.
When it isn't the right answer
Composite is less invasive and less expensive, but porcelain holds its color longer and typically lasts longer before it needs touching up. If you have more significant damage, or you want something that holds up with less upkeep over many years, porcelain may be the better long-term choice. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your teeth.and edit me. It's easy.
