What Are Composite Veneers?

Composite veneers are thin shells that have a smooth surface and consist of tooth-coloured resin. These shells are placed over the front of the teeth and are utilised to change the set’s colour, shape, and size. To attach the composite veneers properly, dental bonding is needed to secure them into place. Dental bonding is a simple process that is non-invasive and hassle-free. With the addition of composite veneers, you’ll be able to completely transform the visual appearance of your teeth and achieve your dental goals.

Composite veneers are used for the following dental issues:

Chipped or fractured teeth with sharp edges.
Teeth with gaps between them.
Teeth with misshapen, irregularly shaped crowns.
Front teeth that are worn down or broken from grinding or clenching habit.
Largely discoloured areas in front teeth caused by root canal treatments in the past.

If you suffer from any of the above complications, opt for the composite veneers treatment from Macquarie Dental today.

Process

At Macquarie Dental, we offer our patients the choice between direct and indirect composite veneers. While both provide the same benefits and are formed from the same resin material, they slightly differ in how they are applied to the teeth. Therefore, the composite bonding process will depend on what type of composite veneer you choose.

Both procedures start the same way and include:

Our dentists will thoroughly clean your teeth and ready your mouth for application
A layer of enamel will be removed for your teeth to make space for the adhesive

Once these two steps have been completed, the following steps will depend on whether you have chosen direct or indirect composite veneers.

For direct resin veneers:

Adhesive glue will be applied to your teeth
Thin layers of resin will be applied to your teeth
The layers of resin will be hardened with a curing light

For indirect resin veneers:

An impression of your teeth will be taken so that your dental veneers can be made inside of a lab
Once the resin veneers are ready, a bonding agent will be applied to the teeth to help the material stick
A curing light will be used to harden the shells

If you’re struggling to understand the difference between the two types of composite veneers, get in touch with our experts today, and we’ll help determine the best solution for your teeth.

Composite Veneers Benefits

Composite veneers are ideally utilised for transforming the visual appearance and functionality of the teeth. However, they also provide various other benefits, including:

Treats darkened teeth
Restores damaged teeth surfaces
Creates long-term stability for fractured teeth
Covers gaps between teeth
Replaces old or decaying teeth
Long-lasting and completely durable

Composite veneers are a more affordable alternative to other more expensive options, such as porcelain crowns and implants. While composite veneers may not be as durable and porcelain alternatives, the choice comes down to you and your set of teeth. For more information on the benefits of resin veneers, contact us today.

Composite Veneers And Durability

On average, a set of composite veneers will last between 5-7 years. This is substantially shorter than porcelain veneers, which are known to last for 10-15 years. However, composite veneers are the more affordable alternative, and you can always extend their life with good care and maintenance. This includes practising an oral hygiene routine that includes brushing twice a day, flossing, and regularly visiting your dentist for general check-ups. By sticking to a tight routine, your composite veneers may be able to last longer than 5-7 years before needing a replacement set.

FAQ’s

How much do composite veneers cost in Sydney?

The average cost of composite veneers ranges between $250-$1,500 per tooth. At Macquarie Dental, we have no fixed prices when it comes to our dental treatments, as the price you pay will depend on various factors. This includes your oral history and the complexity of the case. For more on payment, get in touch with us today.

How to apply resin veneers?

Applying resin veneers is typically simple. The dentist will start with removing decay or cavities from your teeth. Next, they’ll make impressions of your teeth and create models used to fashion tooth-shaped moulds for receiving the resin material. After the material has set into place, these moulds must be removed very carefully not to damage them. A veneer won’t work if there’s any breakage whatsoever on either side of it. Finally, the new veneer can be secured by sliding it onto or over your natural tooth.

How long do composite veneers last?

Composite veneers are known to last between 5-7 years on average. However, with the proper care and maintenance, you can extend the life of your composite veneers and ensure more time passes before you require a replacement set. Keep practising a good oral hygiene routine and you’ll be able to prolong the life of your composite veneers.

How to whiten composite veneers?

You will not be able to use traditional teeth whitening treatments on bonded material. Therefore, whitening composite veneers must be completed using different methods. This includes using a polishing toothpaste, getting your teeth professionally cleaned, and keeping a good oral hygiene routine that doesn’t allow your teeth to stain over time. For more information on whitening your composite veneers, speak to us today.

Are composite veneers permanent?

Composite Veneers are a semi-permanent solution to tooth misalignment. They can provide an alternative solution for patients who don’t want any invasive procedure such as dentures, oral surgery, or implants. Composite veneers will last 5-7 years before a replacement set is needed, and in some cases, may last even longer.

Do composite veneers ruin your teeth?

A composite veneer is a perfectly safe and harmless procedure if you’re a good candidate for dental veneers. There are no health risks or side effects that come with the process of getting your teeth veneered with composites. Our dentists at Macquarie Dental complete each treatment in a completely safe and comforting manner.
