Composite Veneer

A composite veneer improves the look of a front tooth by bonding tooth-coloured resin to its surface, reshaping it and refining its colour. Applied directly in a single visit, it can close small gaps, mask discolouration, repair chips and even out the edges of the front teeth. It is a flexible, less invasive way to enhance a smile, priced per tooth.

A composite veneer is a thin layer of tooth-coloured resin bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve its shape, colour and overall appearance. Unlike laboratory-made porcelain veneers, composite veneers are built up directly by the dentist in a single appointment, which makes them a more affordable and conservative option that usually requires little or no removal of natural tooth. They are well suited to refining the look of the front teeth — closing minor gaps, masking discolouration, repairing chipped edges and harmonising the shape of individual teeth. At Leśnickie Centrum Stomatologiczne the surface of the tooth is prepared and the composite applied and sculpted by hand, then cured, shaped and polished to blend with the neighbouring teeth and the natural line of your smile. Because the work is done freehand and chairside, the result can be reviewed and adjusted during the same visit. Composite is also used by the clinic for closely related aesthetic and conservative work, such as rebuilding worn incisal edges and covering sensitive exposed tooth necks. Composite veneers can pick up staining over time and may need occasional polishing or repair, but they are straightforward to maintain and to add to. The dentist will discuss whether composite veneering, whitening or other options best suit your goals, and for more extensive changes can outline porcelain alternatives. Good daily hygiene and avoiding habits that chip the edges are associated with helping the result last.
