Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are made in a laboratory and bonded to the front surface of the tooth. They can provide a natural appearance and good colour stability.
- Preparation may involve the irreversible removal of some enamel.
- Impressions or scans, laboratory work and a try-in may require more than one appointment.
- The result depends on available enamel, the bite, gum health and maintenance.
Composite veneers
Composite is shaped directly on the tooth and hardened in the clinic. In some cases, it preserves more enamel and can be completed in fewer appointments.
- It can often be repaired or repolished more easily.
- It may wear or change colour over time and require maintenance.
- Suitability and longevity depend on the extent of treatment, the bite and personal habits.
The decision starts with oral health
Before selecting a material, the clinic assesses decay, gums, enamel, the bite and the aesthetic goal. Veneers do not replace treatment needed to establish a healthy mouth.
- A mock-up can help assess shape and proportions before the final decision.
- Whitening, orthodontics, bonding or crowns may be more suitable alternatives.
- Benefits, limitations and any irreversible preparation are discussed as part of informed consent.
