Composite Veneers Sydney

What are Composite Resin Veneers?

Layers of putty-like composite ceramic materials are applied to the surface of your teeth to recreate their natural colour and where necessary, to reshape them. An intense light is applied intermittently during the process to set and harden the composite resin. It’s then polished to create natural-looking teeth.

Composite Veneers Cost

Composite veneers in Sydney can cost up to $860 per tooth, which is comparatively reasonable than porcelain veneers cost. The price can vary depending on where you live, the type of veneers material, and how many veneers you require. At Designer Smiles, we provide the best quality, which usually last approximately 5-7 years.

Which is Better Composite Veneers or Dental Bonding?

Composite veneers and composite bonding procedures are almost the same techniques where the material used for both is common, i.e., composite resin.

Composite Bonding Vs Composite Veneers

The only difference between them is how the dentist applies to your teeth. Tooth bonding covers a specific part of your teeth, whereas composite veneers cover the complete surface of your tooth.

The cost of tooth bonding can cost you around $300 to $600 per tooth which is much more affordable compare to porcelain veneers.

What Your Composite Resin Veneers Involve?

Our composite resin veneers specialist believes that preserving your tooth enamel is the key to success. If too much of your tooth is destroyed when having veneers, it will not only affect your future oral health but your smile restoration won’t last as long as it should.

There is nothing permanent in dentistry and all restorations need replacement over time, but composite veneers by our specialist can be resurfaced numerous times because the underlying enamel is not affected.

Benefits of composite Veneers treatments are:

• An affordable dental procedure involving no laboratory fees
• It requires no cutting of a sound tooth structure
• There’s no need for injections and hence is painless
• Results are achieved in one visit
• It doesn’t matter how old you are, you can expect to get immediate dramatic results

Composite Veneers Procedure

While the composite veneers procedure is simple when completed by a professional dentist, the process will depend on the type of composite veneers being applied. There are two different types of composite veneers – direct and indirect. While both are made from the same material, they differ in terms of procedure.

Both composite resin veneers procedures start the same and include:

1. Cleaning your teeth thoroughly and getting them ready for application
2. Removing a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to help the material stick properly

Once these two steps have been completed, the remainder of the composite resin veneers procedure will depend on whether you are getting direct or indirect treatment.

For a direct composite veneers procedure:

3. An adhesive glue will be applied to your teeth to help the resin stick to your teeth
4. Thin layers of resin are added to your teeth
5. The dentist will harden the layers of resin with a curing light

For an indirect composite veneers procedure:

3. A mould will be taken of your teeth. This is because indirect veneers are created outside of your mouth and inside a dental lab.
4. Once the veneers are ready, an adhesive or bonding agent will be applied to your teeth to help the resin stick
5. A curing light will be used to harden the shells of resin onto the teeth

Understanding which type of composite veneer is suitable for your teeth can be complicated. However, our team of dentists can help you find the best procedure for you. For more information, contact us today.
