What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are custom covers made from top-quality resin. Your dentist bonds them to the front of your teeth then shapes, sculpts, and polishes them to match your natural look. Unlike porcelain veneers, which are made in a lab and need several appointments, you can usually get composite veneers in one day, based on how many teeth you’re treating.
The dentist matches the resin color to your teeth making it blend in with your natural enamel. This allows for subtle improvements or bigger changes all while keeping a natural look.
Problems Composite Veneers Can Fix
Composite veneers are popular because they’re so flexible. They can help with many cosmetic issues such as:
- Tough stains that won’t go away with whitening
- Little chips, cracks, or worn edges
- crooked teeth or uneven shapes
- Spaces between teeth
- Teeth that look too small or oddly shaped
- Small overlaps or other cosmetic issues
Composite veneers give many patients a total smile makeover fixing multiple issues in one go.
How Northlane Dental Does It
At Northlane Dental, we want you to feel at ease, know what’s happening, and love your new smile. Here’s what happens when you get composite veneers:
- Talk About Your Smile Goals We start by having a thorough chat about the changes you want. Our dentists will look at your teeth, face, bite, and color likes to make a good plan.
- Pick the Color and Shape Getting the right color is key for a natural look. We’ll help you choose a shade that fits your smile — you might want a bright Hollywood look or something more subtle and natural.
- Prep Your Teeth (Little or No Work) Most of the time composite veneers need little or no enamel removed. We might just rough up the tooth surface a bit to help the resin stick well.
- Put on the Composite Resin Dental experts apply the composite material in layers on the tooth. They shape each layer with care crafting the perfect tooth shape.
- Sculpting and Final Polishing After reaching the right form, dentists harden the veneer with a special light and polish it to match natural enamel’s shine. This process results in a smooth even, and attractive finish.
When you leave the appointment, you’ll have a brighter smile — right away!
