What are composite veneers?
Composite veneers are thin layers of tooth-colored resin material applied to the front surface of your teeth. This treatment is ideal for patients who want to:
- Cover discolouration or stains.
- Change the shape, size, or length of their teeth.
- Achieve a uniform, bright smile.
Advantages of composite veneers:
- Quick procedure with minimal preparation.
- Affordable compared to porcelain veneers.
- Can be completed in a single visit.
Considerations:
- May require maintenance over time.
- Less durable than porcelain veneers.
What is composite edge bonding?
Composite edge bonding is a more conservative procedure used to repair minor imperfections such as:
- Chipped or cracked teeth.
- Small gaps between teeth.
- Uneven edges or slight misalignments.
This treatment involves adding composite resin to specific areas of the tooth to enhance its appearance and restore its function.
Advantages of Composite Edge Bonding:
- Quick and non-invasive.
- Preserves most of the natural tooth structure.
- Cost-effective for minor corrections.
Considerations:
- Not suitable for major transformations.
- Doesn’t correct the colour of your teeth.
- Regular maintenance may be required.
