At our Melbourne clinic, we can help you achieve your perfect smile using composite veneers in just one sitting, making them a fast and effective dental treatment.

Composite veneers vs porcelain veneers

Composite resin veneers have a few differences that set them apart from porcelain veneers, including the material made, cost, and durability. We have outlined the key differences below to see which option is right for you.

Materials Used

The biggest difference is the materials used, with composite veneers using a thin composite and porcelain veneers being made from porcelain. Composite's thin and malleable nature allows us to quickly apply it to your teeth and sculpt it to create the perfect smile, while porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth.

The material used also impacts the time it takes, with composite veneers being fitted in one session without additional dental work. Porcelain veneers take longer, and you must wear temporary veneers for a few weeks before your porcelain veneers are fitted.

Cost

Porcelain veneers are more expensive than composite veneers, putting some customers off. The average cost of porcelain veneers is nearly double that of composite veneers per tooth, making composite veneers a more affordable option.

Durability

Porcelain veneers are more durable than composite, lasting more than ten years, depending on how you care for them. Composite veneers will last for five to seven years before they need to be replaced. When choosing between porcelain and composite, its worth weighing up the cost of them and how often they need to be replaced to decide which s better suited to you and your budget.

Composite Veneers Treatment Process & How It Works

Composite veneers are installed quickly, using a thin resin that is applied to your teeth and sculpted to create your new smile. The entire treatment involves three steps, which we have detailed for you below.

Step 1: Consultation & Smile Assessment

We will meet you for a consultation to discuss your new smile and whether composite veneers are the right choice for you. During the consultation, we will take x-rays and any scans needed of your mouth that will allow us to take a good look at your teeth and create a treatment plan.

Using our digital scanner and 3D printer, we will match the colour of your veneers to your natural teeth for a perfect smile that suits your face. The scanners can help show you your new smile and allow you to make any adjustments before the veneers are applied.

Step 2: Composite Veneer Application

Once you are happy with your new smile, we can install the composite veneers. We begin with an etching on the front of your teeth surface. A small drill is used to roughen the texture of your teeth, which helps the composite veneers bond to your teeth. You might find this uncomfortable, but we can offer local anesthetic to remove any pain and keep you comfortable.

Next, we take the resin composite and apply it to your teeth. We work with a thin layer, which is sculpted into your desired shape, straightening your teeth and filling in any gaps to create your new smile. To finish, a curing light is used to harden the resin, and we polish the teeth to create a natural feel and look.

Step 3: Post-Treatment Care

Your composite veneers can be applied in one session, and it is up to you to care for them. The aftercare process is quite simple: you will attend regular dental appointments for us to assess your oral health and maintain good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing regularly.

You will need to take care of your veneers and avoid biting on hard objects to keep them intact. We recommend avoiding using your teeth to open any packaging or bottles, as this can damage the veneers.

How Much Do Composite Veneers in Melbourne Cost?

Composite veneers cost between $300 and $600 per tooth, with the cost varying depending on how complex your case is. During your consultation, we will tell you the cost of your composite veneers and discuss any potential payment plans available for you.

Am I a Candidate for Composite Veneers?

To qualify for composite veneers you will need good gum health, with no signs of disease. Your teeth will also need to be healthy, with enough enamel to help the resin bond to your teeth. As part of your tooth front will be filed away, we cannot carry out the treatment on anyone with thin layers of enamel, as this could damage your teeth.

Composite veneers aren't suitable for everyone, especially if you have misaligned bites or teeth. The veneers will unlikely fix the issue, and it would be best to address the bite issues before having your veneers fitted. The same applies if you have large gaps between your teeth or are missing teeth. Dental implants or porcelain veneers would be a better alternative in these cases.

During your consultation, we will assess your oral health to determine if composite veneers are the right choice and offer alternative treatments if we think a better option will help you achieve the perfect smile.

Composite Veneers FAQs

What is a composite veneer?

Composite veneers are thin layers of resin that cover your tooth without removing the enamel. The resin is applied directly to your tooth and sculpted to create the desired tooth shape, filling any chips or gaps and straightening crooked teeth.

How long do composite veneers last?

Composite veneers can last for five to seven years, although you might find they last for longer depending on how well you care for them. Your veneers will need regular brushing, flossing, and regular dental appointments to ensure you maintain good oral hygiene.

Is composite veneer treatment painful?

Composite veneers can be a little uncomfortable, especially when your tooth is being filed. The front of your teeth is filled with a little drill that some patients find uncomfortable. However, a local anesthetic can be offered, which helps numb the area and free you from pain while your composite veneers are fitted.

How long does it take to complete the treatment?

Composite veneers can be completed in one session! You will likely have your teeth filed and the resin attached in the same session, making it quicker than porcelain veneers. How long this takes depends on how many teeth you have covered with the veneer and how much work is required to sculpt the resin to your desired shape. During your consultation, your dentist will advise you on how long you can expect the treatment to be.
