Composite Veneers in Oakleigh

What is composite veneer?

Composite veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment designed to improve the shape, colour, and alignment of the teeth, and usually doesn't require tooth preparation.

Using a tooth-coloured resin, composite veneers are directly applied and sculpted by your dentist in a single visit. This makes them a faster and more cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers, while still delivering aesthetic results.

Whether you want to close small gaps, repair chipped teeth, or improve tooth symmetry, composite veneers can help create a confident, balanced smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are composite veneers made from?

Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin material that’s bonded directly to your teeth and carefully shaped for a natural look.

2. How long do composite veneers last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, composite veneers can last between 4–8 years. They can be easily repaired or replaced if chipped or worn.

3. Is the procedure painful?

No — composite veneers are minimally invasive and usually require no anaesthetic. Most patients experience no discomfort during or after the treatment.

4. Can composite veneers stain?

While they are stain-resistant, over time they may slightly discolour with exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. Regular cleaning and polishing help maintain their shine.

5. What’s the difference between composite and porcelain veneers?

• Composite veneers are applied directly in one visit, cost less, and are easier to repair.

• Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a lab, last longer (10–15 years), and offer superior stain resistance and durability. Your dentist will help you choose the best option depending on your goals, budget, and desired longevity.

6. How do I take care of composite veneers?

Brush and floss daily, avoid biting hard objects, and schedule regular check-ups. Professional polishing during cleanings keeps veneers smooth and glossy.

7. Can I combine veneers with other treatments?

Yes. Many patients combine veneers with teeth whitening or orthodontic treatments for a complete smile transformation.
