What are Composite Veneers ?

A composite veneer is a type of dental bonding where the composite is applied to almost the entire tooth. They are another way apart from porcelain veneers that can change your smile but using composite resin with filling material that is the colour of your teeth.

Composite veneers are a quick, cost-effective, versatile, and less evasive solution to repair and improve the appearance of teeth. The treatment is pain-free and requires no drilling,  no injection to instantly transform your smile !

They are mostly used to improve the appearance of a smile and fix smaller occurrences such as chipping of teeth, fix the alignment of few teeth, or the discolouring of teeth. The procedure is simple and can be done in one single visit so that’s why they are also referred to as “Same day Veneers” or “Instant veneers”. It can take between 45mins to a few hours depending on the number of teeth requiring veneers.

The procedure involves the tooth being reconstructed through a build-up of composite filling material instead of the cover being attached like in porcelain veneers. A tooth-coloured resin material is used to bond onto your tooth, shaped and polished allowing us to reshape and even whiten your teeth. The treatment consists of minimal or no tooth preparation and doesn’t affect the natural tooth. Composite Veneers are very flexible and versatile because they can be repaired, altered or re-done at any time and the treatment is reversible if required.

Benefits of Composite Veneers

  • These are more affordable and cheaper than porcelain veneers
  • Suitable for almost everyone and helps improve the overall look of the teeth
  • As they don’t have to cover all of the tooth surface it’s an ideal choice for closing gaps between teeth. For example, they are the best choice for diastema which is gaps on top of the front teeth.
  • Mostly requires no drilling and so the treatment is reversible
  • These are easily repaired in comparison to porcelain veneers which if broken or chipped require new ones to be made in the lab
  • Composite resin can hide many aesthetic faults like badly shaped teeth, discolouration, gaps in teeth, and other minor cosmetic issues
  • Treatment is usually completed in one visit to give you an instant smile

Composite Veneers Procedure Step by Step

Step 1. Choosing The Shade

We start by selecting resin that is an ideal match for the colour of your teeth

Step 2. Applying The Material

We will then mould, shape and place the resin in thin layers on the area to be treated

Step 3. Curing The Resin

We use an extremely bright light to cure the bonding material, before polishing to achieve a smooth finish

FAQs

Composite Veneers and composite bonding are the same in terms of the material used. The difference is that composite veneers cover the entire surface of the tooth, whilst composite bonding normally covers part of the tooth.

Normally composite veneers last for 3-5 years on average. However, if proper care is taken these could last even more. The key to longevity is keeping good oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups.

Almost any person. They can be used to;

  • Cosmetically create a brighter, whiter and beautiful sparking smile
  • To repair any chipped or broken section of a tooth
  • Cover severely discoloured teeth
  • Correct misshapen teeth
  • Close unwanted spaces between teeth or make them larger in size
  • Cover worn or chipped teeth
  • Cover crooked teeth

Composite veneers do not break easily and are quite strong. However, they can still chip for various reasons like chewing or biting hard food, clenching or grinding teeth, etc. Even if they chip or do break the good part is that they can easily be repaired in one dental visit.  This is not the case with porcelain veneers.

The shine from Uveneer lasts and continues to look like a natural tooth because the template is used as an oxygen barrier, preventing the air-inhibited layer.

A lot of people ask us if composite veneers straighten teeth? Though this might seem an easy and fast solution compared to braces treatment we do NOT recommend using composite veneers to straighten teeth. We offer a number of teeth straightening options (Invisalign. Inman Aligner, Lingual braces, 6m smile) for time-constrained people where some treatment could get you great results in on 3-6 months.

Composite veneers don’t damage your teeth. In fact, they would improve the look of your teeth as they are fitted to match your smile.

Composite veneers benefit from being easily replaced or removed. So when you visit the dental clinic for your regualr check-ups or hygiene appointments, you can discuss the maintenance requirement (if needed) which in most cases might be a simple “top-up” of composite.

Uveneers at NW1 Dental Care

At NW1 Dental Care we also use the Uvneers system which is an innovative veneer template system that is endorsed by leading cosmetic dentists around the world and was created by a dentist for the dentist. The Uveneers system was designed to make it easier and faster for dentists to create direct composite veneers with predictable shape, polish, and symmetry, in one visit only making the results great for both dentist and patient!

In this, our cosmetic dentist uses an organically modified compo-ceramic material that mimics the appearance of beautiful, healthy teeth. The material is carefully shaped over the teeth and a special template is placed over to create an even, beautiful new smile. Quick, long-lasting, and easy to repair, same-day veneers are increasingly becoming the treatment of choice for small, chipped, eroded, large unsightly filled or slightly crooked teeth.
