It is quite a task to get the right colour and shape in one go, but good dental veneers look just as natural as your teeth. Reversibility is an advantage of having veneers: it is almost always possible to restore your original dental situation. Dental veneers are made of two different materials: porcelain and composite.
Porcelain or composite resin veneers? This choice depends on your personal situation and wishes. We will gladly advise you.

COMPOSTIE
A composite resin veneer consists of the same materials as a white filling. Using a composite resin veneer is a minimally invasive manner of rebuilding or correcting your teeth. We apply the composite directly to your tooth structure and sculpt it to correct your tooth. It is a chair-side technique, not requiring multiple appointments.
A major advantage of a composite resin veneer is that it is easy to repair. If the veneer breaks or discolours, we can apply a new layer of composite resin. If necessary, we can repeat the entire treatment.

PORCELAIN
Porcelain veneers are thin shells custom-made to fit on a tooth. To prepare the tooth, we remove a small layer of enamel from the front and sides of the tooth. Then we take an impression of the prepared tooth. The technician at our dental laboratory custom-makes the porcelain veneer to fit the shape, colour and size of your tooth. At the next visit, we clean the tooth and the veneer is bonded to the tooth.

A porcelain veneer cannot be repaired as easily as a composite veneer, if not at all.
