Got a question about dental veneers?
Veneers are thin shells that are placed over the front of your existing teeth to improve their appearance. There are two main types of veneers — composite and porcelain. Veneers may be used to fix or correct a wide range of dental issues including:
- Cracked/chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Gappy teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Misaligned teeth
- Irregularities in the shape/size of teeth
- Discolouration
As the name suggests, porcelain veneers are made from porcelain. They are custom-made into the right shape and size to suit your smile. They can match or whiten your teeth to improve your natural smile. Porcelain veneers typically take at least two visits. During your first visit the teeth will be prepped (this may involve removing a thin layer of enamel and reshaping the tooth) and an impression will be taken. In between visits your veneers will be custom-made in a lab. At your second visit the veneers will be bonded to your teeth.
Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin that’s bonded to the outer surface of the teeth. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be applied in a single visit. The resin is added to the teeth, cured, polished and voila! Your beautiful smile is fixed.
We've written a whole article on the difference between porcelain and composite veneers where we highlight the pros and cons of each option.
With the right care, porcelain veneers should last around 10-15 years. Composite veneers are still pretty durable, typically lasting 4-8 years.
One of the fantastic benefits of porcelain veneers is that they don’t stain. Whereas, composite veneers look great, but they can stain like natural teeth over time.
The teeth do need to be prepped for porcelain veneers. A tiny layer of your tooth enamel will need to be removed from the surface of the teeth. The teeth may also need to be reshaped to ensure the veneers fit snugly over the teeth. These processes are irreversible. However, they don’t ‘ruin’ the teeth. Your teeth and gums will still be healthy.
Composite veneers on the other hand require little to no prepping. In some cases, the tooth surfacing may need roughening to assist with the bonding, but that’s all.
