Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers Types

Dental veneers are made from either a resin composite material or ceramic. Dentist will discuss these two types and explain the pros or cons of each beforehand.

Composite veneers are done directly inside the mouth of the patient in one session. These veneers are thinner and the dentist will have to remove a bit of tooth surface before placing the new superficial surface.

Ceramic veneers, on the other hand, have to be tailored-made to the particular patient. Ceramic veneers do not require the scrapping off of some of your tooth enamel and has better chance of resisting stains than composite veneers.

Finally, ceramic veneers have more light-reflecting qualities of the natural teeth, which are closer-looking to normal teeth than composite veneers.
