Composite fillings may already be familiar to you from filling cavities or treating a broken tooth. A veneer is a layer of composite or porcelain applied to the teeth to improve your smile aesthetically in a medically responsible manner.
Composite veneers, also known as white fillings, are veneers that can be applied in a single treatment. Composite is an easy-to-work-with and strong material that can be shaped and colored as desired. With composite veneers, you can fill gaps between your teeth, make discolored teeth sparkling white, and restore broken or crooked teeth.
Placing Composite Veneers
Composite veneers, or white fillings, are nothing new for you or your teeth. As mentioned, and as the name implies, composite is also used for fillings. To ensure the veneer adheres better to your teeth, your teeth will first be treated with acid. This roughens the surface of your teeth. Then, the composite can be applied layer by layer in any shape and color you desire. At Surgerytimedental, we ensure that you achieve a better aesthetic look for your smile in a medically responsible way, using options like composite veneers.
What is the difference between composite veneers and porcelain veneers?
The difference between composite and porcelain veneers lies in the sensitivity of the material. Porcelain veneers are less prone to staining compared to composite.
Composite veneers can also be placed in a single session, making them more affordable. Additionally, less tissue needs to be removed.
On the other hand, porcelain veneers maintain their aesthetic appearance longer since they do not discolor. However, porcelain veneers are more expensive as they require 2 to 3 sessions for placement.
