Composite Veneers can serve as an alternative to porcelain veneers to restore your beautiful smile. Instead of a cover over your existing tooth or attachment to your implant, the original damaged structure is reconstructed using material that resembles your natural tooth. Each layer is reshaped by your dentist until the desired result is achieved.
Composite veneers are cost-effective and minimally invasive. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be repaired, altered, or improved at any time.
How can composite veneers help you?
Our high-quality composite veneers in Melbourne are an ideal solution for a range of cosmetic dental issues.
Discoloured teeth
Teeth whitening isn’t the only option for a brighter smile. If your teeth are severely discoloured, composite resin veneers are an effective, immediate, and lasting solution.
Chipped teeth
Composite veneers can correct minor aesthetic issues, including small parts of your teeth that have been chipped.
Misaligned teeth
Composite resin veneers can act as an alternative to orthodontics for crooked or gapped teeth, depending on the case. They can correct the alignment or close gaps between your teeth in a less invasive way than traditional braces.
Uneven teeth
Composite veneers can achieve a better-looking smile by lengthening uneven teeth.
Uveneers
The Uveneer System was proudly invented in 2014 by our Principal Dentist, Dr Sigal Jacobson. The Uveneer is a unique, composite template system that assists dentists to create beautiful long-lasting composite veneers with predictable shape and symmetry. It’s an affordable, simpler, and minimally invasive procedure.
The Uveneer invention came from Dr Sigal’s own needs as a dentist – “I was frustrated from the time it took me to build composite veneers and the results that were not always predictable and solely relied on my artistic skill. I looked for an efficient way, a template system that will create the ideal shape and size of my veneers and in this way to make it affordable and accessible to all patients”.
The Uveneer system is now used by tens of thousands of dental clinics around the world.

Composite Veneers FAQs
How long do composite veneers last?
Made from durable materials, composite veneers are deigned to last for over 10 years when well-cared-for. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups is essential for maximising the life span of your composite veneers.
However, composite will show some surface changes with time and requires yearly maintenance. Composite veneers can be easily repaired in a single visit and will not need a replacement like porcelain veneers do.
Should I choose composite veneers or porcelain veneers?
There are a few differences to consider when choosing between composite or porcelain veneer treatment. Composite veneers are more affordable due to less chair time and no lab fees. Conveniently, they can be placed in a single visit and repaired if needed (with no need for a full replacement like porcelain veneers).
What is involved in getting a dental veneer?
Composite veneers can be easily performed in a single appointment. The Uveneer template makes the procedure simpler and minimally invasive with no drilling of the healthy tooth structure.
Composite resin veneers are the same material used for tooth fillings. Resin is pliable so your dentist can reshape the existing tooth layer by layer to repair the existing structure.
Oral surgery to follow.
Can I brush and floss my teeth after veneers, and do I still have to come for professional hygiene appointments?
Your composite veneers must be well maintained with your regular dental hygiene routine. You must continue to brush and floss twice daily and visit us for your regular professional hygiene appointments. Regular appointments are also necessary considering composite can show some surface changes over time.
What happens if one of my veneers comes off?
With advanced technology, it is unlikely that a composite veneer will fall off. However if one does, please visit our trusted team.
Do composite veneers stain easily?
Composite veneers don’t stain as easily as your natural tooth enamel, however they can discolour over time. Discolouration can be caused by various factors including neglecting your dental hygiene or highly pigmented drinks like tea, coffee, or red wine.
Can you drink coffee with composite veneers?
You can drink coffee with composite veneers, however, be mindful that it can cause discolouration if you don’t maintain your oral hygiene or if you drink too much coffee.
How long do composite veneers stay white?
This will depend on how well you clean your teeth each day. Composite veneers require the same effort of care as your natural teeth to keep them as white and healthy as possible, for as long as possible.
