Composite or porcelain veneers?
Composite: cheaper, often finished in one session and easy to repair, but more susceptible to staining and wear.
Porcelain: more expensive, hardly discolours and looks very natural; making them takes more appointments.
How long do veneers last?
Composite veneers last on average 5 to 8 years, porcelain veneers 10 to 20 years. Grinding, biting hard objects and insufficient oral hygiene shorten their lifespan.
Are veneers harmful to your teeth?
Composite veneers often require little or no removal of enamel. For porcelain veneers a thin layer of enamel is removed, which is irreversible. The treatment is usually done under local anaesthesia and is hardly painful.
Who are veneers suitable for?
For people with discoloured, slightly chipped, irregularly shaped or slightly too small teeth or small gaps. With heavy grinding, untreated gum problems or many cavities, treatment is needed first.
Can you whiten veneers?
No, veneers do not change colour with whitening. If you want your own teeth whiter first, have them whitened before you choose the colour of the veneers.
How do you care for veneers?
Brush and floss as usual, do not bite on hard things like pens or ice and wear a night guard if necessary. Regular check-ups keep the edges healthy.
