What Are Composite Veneers?
There are two main types of veneers used in cosmetic dentistry: composite and porcelain. Composite veneers are made from a mixture of acrylic resin and filler material and are usually less expensive than porcelain veneers. They can be placed in a single office visit, but they may not be as durable as porcelain veneers and may not last as long. They can also become discolored over time and may require more maintenance.
Unlike porcelain veneers, which are formed in the laboratory using a wax model and fired or baked to get the desired shape, composite veneers are hardened by Dr. Esfandiari using a special light. The light energy causes a chemical reaction that results in the polymerization or hardening of the composite resins. This process allows composite veneers to be incrementally polymerized to achieve the desired shape and aesthetics.
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?
The lifespan of composite veneers, like all dental restorations and prosthetics, depends on the quality of the material used, the skill of the dentist, and, most importantly, how well they are cared for. Among Dr. Esfandiari’s patients, composite veneers generally last for 5 to 7 years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Is Composite Veneer Good For Teeth?
Veneers are a more durable and aesthetically superior option compared to bonded restorations. However, it is important to see a highly qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist for veneers because the design process is precise and requires exceptional cosmetic dental skills. If the veneers do not fit properly on your teeth, food may become trapped around the veneer and tooth, leading to issues such as tooth decay and marginal staining.
Is It Worth Getting Composite Veneers?
Veneers can definitely transform a smile and overall facial aesthetics. One advantage of composite veneers is that Dr. Esfandiari can match their shade precisely to your natural teeth, making them almost indistinguishable once bonded. The only thing to be mindful of is avoiding strong-colored foods like garlic, curry, tobacco, and red wine, as they can stain the veneers and impact overall facial aesthetics.
Are Veneers Or Composite Better?
It is difficult to say definitively which type of veneer is better because the best choice for a particular patient depends on their individual needs and circumstances. Both porcelain and composite veneers have their own unique advantages and drawbacks.
Porcelain veneers are more durable and stain-resistant than composite veneers, and they can last for many years with proper care. They are also more resistant to wear and have a more natural-looking appearance. However, porcelain veneers require the removal of a thin layer of enamel from the tooth, and they are more expensive than composite veneers.
Composite veneers are made of a mixture of acrylic resin and filler material and can be placed in a single office visit. They are also less expensive than porcelain veneers. However, they are not as durable and may not last as long, and they may require more maintenance. They can also become discolored over time.
It is important to consult with a skilled and experienced cosmetic dentist such as Dr. Esfandiari, to determine which type of veneer is best for you based on your specific needs and preferences.
