How is a composite veneer different from bonding?+
Both use tooth-coloured resin applied directly. A composite veneer covers the visible front surface of a tooth, while bonding often treats a smaller area such as a chip or edge.
Will composite veneers stain?+
Resin can pick up stain and lose polish over time. Rinsing after dark drinks and regular polishing help, though some change may still occur.
Can a chipped composite veneer be repaired?+
Localised additions or reshaping are often more straightforward with resin than with porcelain. Whether a repair suits a particular chip is decided when it is examined.
Is enamel removed for composite veneers?+
Preparation varies with tooth position and design. Some cases need little, others more, so ask for the expected reduction for your teeth before agreeing.
Could I switch to porcelain later?+
A later change of material is sometimes feasible, depending on the tooth. Any prepared tooth will continue to need a restoration, so it is worth discussing long-term plans at the outset.
Where would my composite veneers be placed?+
