FAQs
How long do composite veneers last?
Composite veneers typically last 5-7 years with proper care. Their lifespan depends on factors such as oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and lifestyle. Avoiding hard or sticky foods, grinding your teeth, and regular dental visits can significantly prolong their durability. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers may require periodic touch-ups to maintain their aesthetic quality, but this is a straightforward process.
Can composite veneers be repaired?
Yes, one of the advantages of composite veneers is their reparability. If a veneer chips or wears down, it can often be repaired in a single visit by adding new composite material. This makes them a highly cost-effective and convenient option for patients who want a long-term solution without needing complete replacements. Repairs blend seamlessly with the existing veneer, ensuring your smile stays flawless.
Do composite veneers look as natural as porcelain veneers?
While composite veneers may not mimic the translucency of porcelain veneers as closely, they still offer a highly natural and aesthetic appearance. Our dentists at Smile Lounge take great care in selecting the right shade and applying the composite in layers to match the texture and colour of your natural teeth. Using advanced techniques and high-quality materials, we create composite veneers that enhance your smile without looking artificial, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing teeth.
