Composite Veneer

Composite veneers use a tooth-coloured resin (composite) that is applied directly to the front of the teeth and sculpted by the dentist to improve their shape, colour and surface. Unlike porcelain veneers, which are made in a laboratory, composite veneers are usually built up chairside in a single appointment, and often require little or no removal of natural enamel — which makes them a more conservative and reversible option, as well as a more affordable…

At Pro Medical Clinic Dent, composite veneers can be used to mask discolouration, repair chipped or worn edges, close small gaps and harmonise the shape of the front teeth. The clinic also offers a flow-injection technique, in which a clear template guides flowable composite onto the teeth for precise, even and reproducible results — useful when several teeth are being treated together. The composite is layered, cured and then polished to a natural finish.

Composite veneers suit adults wanting to enhance the appearance of their smile at a lower cost than porcelain, or who prefer a less invasive approach. They can chip or stain over time and may need occasional repair or repolishing, which the dentist will explain alongside the porcelain alternative so you can weigh longevity against cost. As with all cosmetic dental work, healthy teeth and gums are needed, and suitability is confirmed at consultation.
