What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-coloured shells designed to cover the outer surface of a tooth, concealing imperfections, improving its shape, and enhancing its overall appearance.
There are a few types of veneers, with porcelain and composite being the most popular options. Composite veneers are made from composite resin, which is a synthetic, natural-looking material that’s also used for dental fillings and teeth bonding.
One of the main advantages of composite veneers compared to porcelain veneers is that they can be sculpted directly onto the tooth, meaning that your natural teeth won’t be permanently altered, and your transformation can be completed in just one visit.
Do I need composite veneers?
Are you self-conscious about your smile and avoiding social situations because of it? You’re not the only one! Our bonding veneers, a type of cosmetic dentistry, can help address a range of concerns and give you the confidence to share your smile with the world.
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Discoloured teeth
- Decayed teeth
- Misaligned teeth
Why Choose Composite Veneers
Good short-term solution In an ideal world, budget wouldn’t matter, but if you’re looking to gain a whole new smile and you are in need of a short-term solution without the financial investment of porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be an excellent interim choice. Despite having a smaller price tag, composite veneers offer a sound, natural finish and can address a variety of minor cosmetic dental concerns. While composite veneers don’t last as long as porcelain veneers, they are a good interim solution for someone who can’t necessarily afford porcelain veneers but still would like a cosmetic improvement to their smile.
Minimal Shaping
You’ve probably heard that veneers require some alteration of your natural teeth– and it’s true, in order to properly attach porcelain veneers, your dentist will have to do some shaping of your teeth. Since our cosmetic dentist has over a decade of experience in cosmetic dentistry and dental veneers, you can rest assured that with experience comes minimal shaping of the teeth.
Quick Application
Because composite veneers are moulded directly onto your teeth, your cosmetic dentist can complete the entire process in one or two appointments. This means that you can walk out of the clinic with a brand new smile in just a few hours, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking for an instant transformation.
Aesthetic Improvement
With composite veneers, we can easily correct, repair, or enhance the appearance of one or more of your teeth. Composite veneers can address all sorts of minor cosmetic issues, including crooked and misaligned teeth, chips, stains, and minor gaps, all while protecting your natural teeth from further damage. At Dental and Skin Clinic we don’t recommend getting more than four teeth veneered in composite due to the relatively weak nature of composite material.
Composite Veneers Process
At Dental + Skin Clinic, we focus on creating a gorgeous, natural-looking smile that enhances your facial aesthetics while prioritising your oral health. Here’s what you can expect from our Melbourne composite veneers process:
Initial Consultation
The composite veneer process begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Trak. At this appointment, we’ll discuss your oral health concerns and aesthetic goals to make sure composite veneers are the right choice for you. If you need another procedure, such as a dental crown or dental implants, this will be done before applying your composite resin veneers.
Selecting the Shape and Shade
Together, we’ll select the perfect shape and shade for your composite veneers. Whether you’re having just a couple veneers placed or a full set for a complete smile makeover, our goal is to achieve a smile that complements your facial features and enhances your natural beauty.
Application and Bonding
Once you’re happy with the selected shape and shade, Dr. Trak will meticulously sculpt the composite material directly onto your teeth, using a combination of artistry and precision to create a smile transformation you’ll love. The entire process can take anywhere from under an hour to a few hours depending on the extent of the treatment and the number of veneers you want applied.
Composite Veneers Aftercare and Maintenance
Once your veneers are in place, we’ll send you home with a personalised aftercare plan to get the most out of your new smile. Composite veneers require similar care to your natural teeth, which means that regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are still essential to maintain the health and longevity of your veneers. Although composite veneers are relatively durable, it’s important to avoid habits that would damage them, such as nail-biting and chewing on hard objects. Composite veneers are more prone to chipping and darkening in colour over time and therefore regular maintenance is essential.
