What Sets Composite Veneers and Porcelain Veneers Apart?
By Dr Sigal Jacobson
Let’s explore the key differences between these two dental treatments, both of which aim to enhance the shape and colour of teeth, resulting in an improved smile.
Composite veneers are crafted from a tooth-coloured resin material, similar to the material used for teeth fillings. During a single visit, the dentist directly applies and sculpts the composite onto the teeth. The composite resin closely mimics the natural properties of enamel, creating a more natural appearance. For this reason, dentists often use composite veneers to fix one or two teeth and match them to the surrounding teeth seamlessly. A noteworthy advantage is that this procedure usually does not involve shaving or grinding the tooth, and no injections are required, making it a safe and minimally invasive option. Furthermore, if a patient decides to switch to porcelain veneers in the future, it’s feasible to replace composite veneers accordingly. However, composite veneers are slightly more susceptible to staining and small chipping if not treated with care. To maintain their beauty and durability, regular visits to the dental clinic for polishing and upkeep, at least once a year, are recommended.
On the other hand, porcelain veneers are crafted from custom-made ceramic shells. This process requires more involvement, including scans and the expertise of lab technicians, which typically leads to 2-3 dental visits.
Although they are pricier compared to composite veneers, porcelain veneers offer superior durability and are highly resistant to stains. The application process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth to accommodate the thickness of the porcelain shells, often necessitating injections for anesthesia. It’s essential to note that if a porcelain veneer chips, it needs to be completely replaced and cannot be repaired in the chair. Furthermore, porcelain veneers are also employed in cases where a tooth needs to be elongated, particularly in instances of wear.
In summary, composite veneers offer a cost-effective and reversible option, completable in a single visit, but they may be slightly less durable and more prone to staining and chipping. In contrast, porcelain veneers provide exceptional longevity, excellent stain resistance, but require more dental visits and are relatively more expensive. The choice between the two types of veneers ultimately depends on the patient’s budget, aesthetic preferences, and the dentist’s ability and experience in delivering the desired outcome.

Our Patient's Journey
FAQ's
Generally speaking, a filling is not classed as emergency dental treatment. This is a general dentistry procedure that can be carried out at your earliest convenience – although we recommend visiting a dentist as soon as possible if you are experiencing a toothache.
If your filling is cracked, fallen out or otherwise causing you pain, call our East Bentleigh Dental clinic as they may be able to offer an emergency appointment in this instance.
