What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite Veneers are small and thin shells that are placed on the surface of your teeth. They work to improve the appearance of your smile.
There are two main types of dental veneers, porcelain and composite. Both types of veneers work towards the same goal, they are small shells that are attached to your teeth, and their goal is to mask imperfections such as irregularly shaped teeth, stains and chips, etc. The main difference is what they are made of.
Composite veneers are made of composite resin, whereas the other is made of thin shells of porcelain. In regards to materials, the only significant difference is the strength and life span. Composite resin veneers are strong and have an estimated lifespan of between 7 to 10 years, and so may need to be replaced. On the other hand, porcelain is unmatched in strength and has a much longer life span, ranging from 15 to 20 years. These differences are also mirrored in cost, where composite veneers are significantly less expensive than porcelain veneers.
Another difference between the two is that with porcelain veneers, our dentists are required to remove more of your tooth’s enamel when attaching the veneers; this means that this process is irreversible and is something you will have to stick with forever. This is not the case with composite veneers, as your teeth will not be permanently altered after treatment.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Composite Veneers
Consultation
The first step is getting you booked in for a consultation. During the initial visit, you will be received by our exceptional team and have a private consultation with the dentist. Our specialised dentists have years of experience with cosmetic dentistry and veneers. At this appointment, you can ask any questions you have, share any concerns and highlight what is important to you and what you want the outcome to entail. We will listen and create a customised treatment plan, and with the use of advanced technology, you can help design your smile on screen.
Tooth Preparation
Your next step will be having your teeth prepared. Depending on which veneers you have chosen, this step can be long or short. With porcelain dental veneers, our dentist will need to remove a certain amount of your tooth’s enamel to get it to the optimal shape and size for your veneers. With composite resin, there is minimal preparation and shaping.
Impression Taking
Once your teeth are ready, impressions will be taken so that customised veneers can be created. For porcelain veneers, you may be waiting slightly longer for your veneers, and so before you get your actual ones, you will need to wear temporary veneers for a week or two. Enhance Smiles uses high-quality materials and technology to make sure you get the best results.
Veneer Placement
At this stage, our dentist will ensure each veneer is as discussed in shape, size and colour. Then they will roughen the surface of your teeth to create the perfect surface for bonding. Next, they will carefully attach each veneer to the corresponding teeth using the most advanced techniques; a bonding agent may be used to further strengthen the bond.
Once the procedure is complete and our dentist is happy with your bite and alignment, they will give you some advice and tips on how best to care for your dental veneers. It is important to attend regular check-ups and cleaning to keep your teeth and veneers in top condition.

While veneers are excellent for enhancing the front surface of teeth, dental crowns may be more suitable if a tooth is significantly damaged, weakened, or has had extensive dental work. Crowns cover the entire tooth, offering both cosmetic enhancement and structural support, and are often used alongside veneers for a complete smile makeover.
Many people question the natural look of veneers and complain about the high costs, but we here at Enhance Smiles can tell you with pictures for proof that the veneer smile is very lifelike and closely resembles your natural smile, only straighter and brighter.
