Porcelain vs Composite Veneers
Dental veneers may be considered for selected concerns after an assessment of the teeth, bite and oral health. They cover selected tooth surfaces to change their appearance; preparation, risks and alternatives should be discussed before treatment.
The two popular options for veneers are porcelain and composite veneers. Each veneer type has its unique characteristics, benefits, and considerations.
Porcelain vs Composite Veneers
-
Porcelain veneers are meticulously made from quality-grade ceramic, offer a close resemblance to natural teeth.
They are known for their ability to mimic the translucence of natural teeth, providing a seamless blend with your existing smile.
The process involves removing a small amount of enamel to make room for porcelain veneers, followed by custom fabrication in a dental laboratory. This type of veneer requires two or more dental visits before the final cementation.
Porcelain veneers are exceptionally durable, often lasting for more years if handled with care. They are also highly resistant to extrinsic stains from coffee and tobacco.
-
Composite veneers, on the other hand, are crafted from a tooth-coloured resin directly applied and shaped on your teeth. This process eliminates the need for enamel removal, making it a minimally invasive option compared to porcelain veneers.
Composite veneers may change the appearance of selected teeth. Suitability, preparation, timing and longevity vary. Composite veneers may chip, stain or wear and may require polishing, repair or replacement.
They have a high risk of being stained, and more susceptible to fractures. Minor adjustments can be made to the veneers after a few weeks.
