Composite Veneers
What are composite veneers?
Dental veneers are a thin layer of dental material called dental resin or composite that adheres to the teeth to change their size, shape and color. When veneers are used on all teeth, the entire smile can be modified, creating a beautiful transformation.
How long do composite veneers last for?
Composite veneers can last 5 to 7 years on average with proper care.
For the duration of composite veneers, it is very important to have good dental cleaning habits and avoid biting on very hard things that could chip the veneers.
It is also important to have two maintenance appointments each year to clean and repair your veneers.
But remember, composite veneers can be repaired or replaced very easily.
Is composite veneer good for teeth?
.......Absolutely........
Composite is the most widely used dental material in people's mouths worldwide, and it is very likely that you reading this have dental composite in your mouth.
No medical problems associated with the use of dental composite have been reported after more than 50 years of its use in dentistry.
And most importantly, composite veneers can be made in most cases without dental drilling, this fact makes composite veneers a more conservative procedure compared to porcelain (which require milling in 90% of cases). cases) since the resin is sculpted directly on the surface of the tooth.
Composite Veneers are the new way.
Difference between porcelain and composite veneers
When we compare composite veneers with porcelain veneers, we must take into account 3 aspects: the quality of the material, the price for the patient and the manufacturing process.
The porcelain material is more durable and resistant so it is less sensitive to fractures and stains, while the resin is more sensitive to stains and breaks, this means that when using composite veneers you should avoid biting on very hard things ( like pieces of ice) and be more careful with cleaning your teeth.
Another big difference between porcelain and composite veneers is their price. The creation of porcelain veneers requires the work of several people and a dental laboratory, so they are more expensive. The patient pays $10,000 on average for a set of 20 porcelain veneers and $2,000 on average for a set of 20 composite veneers.
And the other difference is the manufacturing process. Porcelain veneers take on average 3 to 5 days to make and require drilling into the teeth with the use of anesthesia. Normally, composite veneers can be performed in a single appointment of four to five hours, their price is much lower than porcelain veneers and it is more conservative since it does not require dental drilling or anesthesia.
