Healthy Smiles Premier Dental
Veneers are a trusted solution for creating a beautiful, balanced smile, and at Healthy Smiles Premier Dental, we offer both composite and porcelain veneers to suit your individual goals. Understanding the key differences between these options can help you make the best choice for your long-term results.
Material and Appearance
Porcelain veneers are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, offering a natural translucency that mimics real teeth. These are custom-made in a dental lab for each patient and offer superior resistance to staining.
Composite veneers, made from tooth-colored resin, are applied directly onto the teeth during a single visit. While they still improve the look of your smile, they tend to be less lustrous and more prone to staining over time.
Durability and Longevity
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or more, while composite veneers last 4 to 8 years. Porcelain is more durable and chip-resistant, but composite veneers are easier and more cost-effective to repair.
Cost and Procedure Time
Composite veneers are more affordable and can often be placed in one appointment. Porcelain veneers require more preparation and at least two visits, but the results are often more refined and long-lasting.
