Composite veneers are another way to change your smile, by reconstructing teeth through the build up of composite(tooth coloured) filling material. They offer a more cost effective, versatile, and less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers. (Treatment can also be completed in one visit.)

Composite veneers often require little (or no) reshaping of the natural teeth. As well as improving the appearance of teeth, they can also correct many common functional concerns such as chips, cracks and gaps. Composite veneers provide a natural-looking and convenient restoration. Once fully placed, composite veneers should look and feel like a natural tooth.

Composite veneers are also more flexible and versatile, as they can be repaired, altered or replaced at any time. However, they are slightly less resilient than porcelain veneers and may require more regular maintenance and repairs.

Alternatives to Composite Veneers

There are alternatives to composite veneers, depending upon the circumstances of your mouth and which issue you would like to treat. Porcelain veneers offer a longer term solution, with the highest possible aesthetics; however they are more costly.

Teeth whitening may be preferable if your main concern is the colour of your teeth. Orthodontics is often recommended where there are significant issues with the alignment and spacing of your teeth.
