What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are one of the two main types of veneers used in cosmetic dentistry besides porcelain veneers. These veneers are a type of dental veneer made from a mixture of acrylic resin and a filler material. They are typically less expensive than porcelain veneers and can be placed in a single office visit. However, they are not as durable as porcelain veneers and may not last as long. They can also discolor over time and may require more maintenance.
Unlike porcelain veneers that are fired or baked in the laboratory using a wax model to get the desired shape, composite veneers are hardened by Dr. Esfandiari using a special light. The light energy initiates a chemical reaction that results in the polymerization or hardening of the composite resins. In this way, composite veneers are incrementally polymerized to achieve the desired shape and esthetics.
Who Can Benefit from Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are an excellent cosmetic and restorative treatment option if you have any of the following issues:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Fractured teeth that can be restored
- Teeth with permanent stains that cannot be removed with professional whitening
- To fix excessive teeth gaps cosmetically – as an alternative to orthodontic treatment
- To treat mild tooth crowding cosmetically – as an alternative to orthodontic treatment
- For complete smile makeovers
How are Composite Veneers Prepared by Dr. Esfandiari?
Composite veneers can be prepared at the dental chairside. Dr. Esfandiari will remove a thin layer of the outer enamel to create space for bonding the veneers. However, you don’t have to worry about your teeth becoming sensitive or cavity-prone as the amount of enamel removed is very less. Next, she will make impressions of the prepared teeth and prepares the composite veneers at the dental chairside.

Composite Veneers: Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will Composite Veneers Last?
Like all dental restorations and prostheses, the service life of composite veneers depends on the quality of the material used, the dentist’s skill, and, more importantly, how well they are looked after. However, among Dr. Esfandiari’s patients, composite veneers generally last between 5 and 7 years, provided optimal oral hygiene is maintained with regular dental checkup visits.
Is Composite Veneer Good For Teeth?
Veneers are a more durable and esthetically superior alternative to bonded restorations. However, one must visit a highly experienced and qualified cosmetic dentist to get their veneers. This is because veneer designing is an exacting procedure and requires excellent cosmetic dental skills. In addition, if the veneers do not fit properly over your teeth, food impaction may occur around the veneer and the tooth leading to complications such as tooth decay and marginal staining.
Is It Worth Getting Composite Veneers?
Yes, veneers can truly transform one’s smile and facial esthetics. The best thing about composite veneers is that your cosmetic dentist, Dr. Esfandiari, can exactly match their shade with your natural teeth. As a result, composite veneers become virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth once they have been bonded. The only thing you should be careful about is to avoid strong-colored foods like garlic, curry, tobacco, and red wine, as they can stain your veneers and affect your overall facial aesthetics.
Are Veneers Or Composite Better?
Composite veneers are prepared from the same resin polymers used in bonded restorations. However, composite veneers are usually prepared in the dental laboratory under precise and controlled conditions. As a result, composite veneers possess fewer structural defects than composite restorations, making them relatively more durable and esthetically pleasing. However, composite veneers tend to be more costly than bonded restorations. But, considering their longer service life and better esthetics, their higher price is a small price.
