What's involved in the composite veneer procedure?

The composite veneer procedure follows six simple steps over one or two visits with us. We have broken down each step below to give you a better idea of what to expect:

Consultation & smile assessment

Step 1: Consultation & smile assessment

We start with a consultation to understand your smile goals and determine whether composite veneers are the right option for you (if they aren't, we will give recommendations for alternative treatments). We use our X-ray and other digital scanners to assess your smile and create the perfect treatment plan.

Should any dental work need to be done before your veneers are applied, we will do this now or invite you back for a follow-up appointment if needed. The consultation appointment is the perfect opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure.
Tooth preparation (minimally invasive)

Step 2: Tooth preparation (minimally invasive)

Before composite veneers can be attached, we need to prepare your teeth. We will lightly etch the front of your teeth, making it easier for us to adhere the composite resin to your teeth. Etching your teeth also removes some of the enamel to ensure that the veneer is added without taking up too much space in your mouth, as you don't want the teeth to look too big for your smile!

The etching might feel uncomfortable, but it will not be painful. We can offer some local anesthetic if needed, too.
Composite resin shade selection

Step 3: Composite resin shade selection

To ensure your veneers match your natural teeth perfectly, we will help you select the perfect shade. We will help you find the perfect shade and can offer advice on whitenig your smile too if you wish. Before we move forward, we will ensure that the resin shade suits your natural teeth and complexion for a natural smile.
Application of composite resin layers

Step 4: Application of composite resin layers

A thin layer of resin is added to your natural teeth. We can build up the layers to get the perfect thickness to match your other teeth. We work with thin layers to ensure your teeth don't feel too big or large for your smile.
Shaping & polishing

Step 5: Shaping & polishing

The tooth coloured resin is then shaped to create the perfect smile, filling any gaps and covering cracks. We will shape these with your dream smile in mind, considering your feedback.

A UV light is used to cure the resin before we polish it. Polishing the resin helps us to create a natural feel and appearance, ensuring the resin matches your natural teeth for the perfect smile.
Final review & bite check

Step 6: Final review & bite check

Before you leave, we will review and have you perform a bite check to ensure the veneers feel comfortable and you can use them as you would normal teeth. We will discuss aftercare procedures with you and ensure you know how to care for your new smile.

    FAQs about composite veneers

    What are composite veneers?

    Composite veneers are resin veneers applied directly to your teeth and shaped to create a new smile. Composite veneers, or composite bonding, are typically recommended for addressing chips or gaps in your teeth, providing a fuller and more even smile.

    What are the benefits of composite veneers?

    The benefits of composite veneers include their lower price, quicker treatment time, and reversible design. Unlike other veneers, you can remove composite resin without damaging your natural teeth or tooth structure. Composite veneers are considered minimally invasive, too, allowing dentists to install them in just one visit.

    What problems can composite veneers help fix?

    Composite veneers can fix several dental prob lems, including unevenly shaped teeth, fractures, chips, and discolouration. Composite veneers can also be used to address gaps between your teeth and their size to give you a more even smile.

    How much do composite veneers cost in Melbourne?

    Composite veneers start at $750 per tooth in Melbourne. The cost of composite resin veneers will vary depending on the dental work required before installation, the material used, and the amount you need. You can learn more about our pricing of composite veneers here and the payment plans available.

    How long do composite veneers last?

    Composite veneers will last for three to five years. Over time, the resin is susceptible to staining and chips, reducing the appearance and function of your teeth. At the five-year mark, we recommend replacing your composite veneers, ensuring your smile remains intact and the perfect shade.

    Can you whiten composite veneers?

    Composite veners cannot be whitened. Any standard whitening treatments will not work on composite, due to the non-porous design of the resin. However, you can whiten your smile before the resin is applied. Brightening your smile first, and having the resin match the new shade is the best way to whiten your teeth and transform your smile. Check out our teeth whitening options to see which is right for you before you begin your veneer journey.

    Do composite veneers hurt?

    Composite veneers do not hurt. The light etching of your teeth can feel uncomfortable, but most patients feel no pain. We can also offer local anesthetic during the etching process to guarantee a pain-free experience if needed.

    What's the difference between composite and porcelain veneers?

    The biggest difference between composite and porcelain veneers is the material used and their longevity. Composite veneers are made with a thin composite bonding resin that is applied directly to your teeth, while porcelain veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that are cemented over your teeth.

    Porcelain veneers will last longer than composite, providing you with at least ten years of use, while composite veneers need to be replaced every three to five years. Porcelain veneers are also considered to be more durable, but will come with a larger price tag. You can learn more about porcelain veneers here to see which option is right for you.

    Do composite veneers damage your teeth?

    Composite veneers do not damage your teeth. While we will etch them to help the composite attach, no damage is done to your tooth structure or natural teeth, and they will function fine without the composite being attached.

    While you have composite veneers, you must care for your natural teeth to avoid them rotting or developing tooth decay. This involves regular brushing, flossing, and attending dental appointments. Learn more about protecting your veneers with our composite veneers aftercare guide.

    Can composite veneers be repaired if they chip?

    Composite veneers can be repaired if they chip without removing the veneer. Using the same composite material, the veneer can be repaired in just one visit, shaping it to hide the chip before it is cured and polished.

    When a veneer chips, you will want to see your dentist immediately so they can repair it. While most minor chips can be repaired in one visit, the veneer might need to be removed and replaced for severe damage. If you think your composite veneer has chipped, book a consultation with one of our dentists to discuss your treatment options.

    Am I a good candidate for composite veneers?

    A good candidate for composite veneers has good gum health and healthy teeth. You need enough enamel for the resin to adhere to your teeth, and no signs of gum disease.

    Composite veneers are usually not recommended for misaligned bites or teeth, large gaps between your teeth, or missing teeth. At a consultation, we will discuss the best options to help you achieve your dream smile.

    Does Medicare cover composite veneers?

    Medicare will only cover composite veneers if used to repair a tooth damaged by trauma or an accident. Usually, composite veneers are considered a cosmetic treatment, and Medicare will not cover them unless the composite veneer is necessary to repair damage and restore function to your teeth. You should check with your Medicare cover before progressing with your treatment. We offer a range of flexible payment plans to help spread the cost of your treatment if Medicare will not cover your composite veneers. You can learn more about our flexible payment plans through our site, or book a consultation with us to learn more.
