Composite vs. Porcelain Veneers

• Composite veneers: completed in one visit, more affordable, easier to repair
• Porcelain veneers: custom lab-fabricated, more durable, more stain-resistant
• Composite lasts 5-10 years; porcelain lasts 10-20 years
• Composite requires no enamel removal in most cases
• Composite can be repaired chairside if chipped

The Composite Veneer Process

Composite veneers are applied in a single visit. We clean and prepare the tooth surface, apply a bonding agent, then sculpt the composite resin onto the tooth in layers. We shape and polish the material to create a natural-looking veneer. The entire process takes 30-60 minutes per tooth.

Caring for Composite Veneers

Composite veneers require the same care as natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss daily, and see your dentist regularly. Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, fingernails) and limit staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine). With proper care, composite veneers can last 5-10 years.

Cost & Financing

Composite veneers are significantly more affordable than porcelain veneers. We offer no-credit-check financing with low monthly payments. We will provide a detailed cost estimate at your consultation.
