Composite veneers can typically be applied in just one dental visit, making them a quick solution for improving your smile. The process involves preparing the tooth surface, sculpting the composite material directly onto your teeth, and curing it with a special light to harden the resin.

The entire procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the number of veneers.

Composite veneers typically last between 5 to 7 years, but this largely depends on how well you take care of them.

To ensure that your veneers last as long as possible, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits such as brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding hard foods, minimising food and drinks that can stain, and wearing protective gear when engaging in sports or other activities that could potentially damage your teeth.

Composite veneers differ from porcelain veneers in several ways.

Composite veneers are sculpted on your teeth in a single visit, making them a quick and cost-effective solution.

Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are custom-made in a lab and then bonded to your teeth. Porcelain veneers generally offer a longer lifespan, stronger and more stain-resistant.

Caring for composite veneers involves:

• Regular brushing and flossing: Use a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.

• Avoidi stain-inducing substances: To prevent staining, try to minimise exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to prevent staining.

• Regular dental check-ups: Schedule visits every six months for professional cleaning and polishing and to check the condition of your veneers.

Composite veneers typically range from $250 to $1,500 per tooth. The variation in fees depends on several factors, including the number of veneers you need, the complexity of your case and the dentist's level of experience. Composite veneers are generally more affordable than porcelain veneers, which cost between $1500 and $2,500 per tooth, so composite veneers offer a significant cosmetic improvement at a lower price.
