Composite Veneers Sydney
Are you struggling with stained, chipped, or discoloured teeth? At Macquarie Dental, we use advanced resin veneers to enhance your smile naturally. If your teeth are aesthetically or functionally damaged, then composite veneers are the ideal solution.
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.
