Composite veneers, also known as tooth bonding, offer a quick and effective way to correct minor defects and enhance your smile. Using composite resin, the same material used in white fillings, our skilled dentists can mould and shape your teeth to achieve the desired aesthetics. This resin is then hardened with a special curing light.
Composite veneers can often be completed in a single appointment.
They are a more affordable option compared to porcelain veneers.
Composite veneers can correct minor defects such as chips, gaps, and discoloration, providing a natural-looking improvement to your smile.
Our dentist will choose the shade that best matches your natural teeth.
The composite resin is applied, moulded, and shaped directly on your teeth.
The resin is hardened using a special curing light.
The veneers are polished to achieve a smooth and natural appearance.
Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to our lab, where a wax-up model is created to demonstrate the final look.
Using the wax-up as a guide, the dentist applies and shapes the composite resin on your teeth.
An additional appointment is needed to finalise and polish the veneers, usually 1-2 weeks later.
Composite veneers require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. They are more susceptible to chipping and staining compared to porcelain veneers. Here are some tips to prolong the life of your composite veneers:
