Do Composite Veneers Look Natural?

If you have done your research, you’re likely aware that there are two types of veneers, composite and porcelain. You’re also likely asking yourself, which type of veneer is the best? At Jacobson Dental, we want to help you find not just the best option, but the best option for you.

Composite Veneers in East Bentleigh

At Jacobson Dental, we are lucky enough to have the founder and inventor of the globally recognised composite veneer system, Uveneer. Dr Sigal Jacobson designed Uneveer as an affordable, long-lasting composite veneer system that only requires a single visit – with no need for injections! 

Benefits of Composite Veneers

  • Single visit procedure

Composite veneers can be finalised in a single appointment at our East Bentleigh Dental clinic. Porcelain veneers require a minimum of two appointments as they are made offsite.

  • Minimally invasive
    No injections and minimal to no drilling of our health tooth structure required!
  • Resembles your natural tooth
    Our cosmetic dentists have access to a wide range of colours to match your natural tooth colour.
  • Preserves your natural tooth
    Composite resin provides a protective coating over the top of your natural tooth
  • No need to replace your tooth
    If your tooth structure is healthy, there is no need for your tooth to be removed and replaced. Composite resin is applied directly onto your natural tooth.
  • Easy maintenance

Composite veneers can be repaired! Unlike porcelain veneers, which require complete replacement if they get damaged. Composite veneers do not need to be removed and re-done, they can be fixed at your next veneer appointment at your dentist.

  • Cost efficient
    Composite veneers are generally more cost effective than porcelain veneers. 

What’s the difference in price?

Composite veneers and Uveneer cost between $500-$1000, but the price varies within that depending on the level of treatment required. Visit your dentist today to find out more about how much composite veneers cost in East Bentleigh.

On the other hand, porcelain veneers require more visits, lab expenses, and time. Porcelain veneers in East Bentleigh are more expensive coming in at $1500-$2000.

So, do composite veneers look natural?

Composite resin stains more similarly to your natural teeth, therefore retaining their natural appearance as your natural tooth colour changes. We suggest yearly appointments to maintain your veneers, as our experienced cosmetic dentists in East Bentleigh can help you maintain the colour and aesthetic of your smile.
