Composite veneers last an average of 5 – 7 years. The lifespan of your veneer will depend on your lifestyle choices and your oral hygiene routine.

What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that improves the appearance of teeth by applying a tooth-coloured resin directly to their surface. This resin is carefully shaped and sculpted by your dentist to correct imperfections such as:
• Chips
• Cracks
• Small gaps
• Uneven continues
• Localised discolouration’s and stains
Once the specialist obtains the desired shape, the material is hardened using a special curing light, creating a strong and durable bond.
The composite resin used in bonding is made from a combination of plastic and fine glass particles, also known as a dental composite. This combination allows the material to mimic the translucency, texture, and colour of natural tooth structure.
One of the most prominent advantages of composite bonding is that it is a conservative treatment. In most cases, your dentist needs to remove little to practically no healthy enamel to obtain excellent results, making it an attractive option for patients who want noticeable results without permanent alteration to their teeth.

Composite Bonding Benefits
Composite bonding offers a wide range of benefits:
Cost-Effective Treatment
Bonding is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic dental treatments, allowing patients to achieve noticeable results without a large financial or treatment time commitment.
Quick and Convenient
In many cases, composite bonding can be completed in a single appointment. While it may vary depending on the number of teeth treated and the dexterity of the professional, it makes it ideal for busy patients wanting quick results without multiple visits.
Minimally Invasive
Due to its preservation of healthy tooth structure, bonding is considered a reversible and low-risk treatment. This is a great advantage for patients wanting excellent results but some flexibility in the future.
Natural Appearance
Composite resin can be expertly shaped, shaded, and colour matched to your teeth, creating results that look subtle, natural and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Versatile Treatment
Composite Bonding can address a wide variety of cosmetic concerns, from small chips to gaps and uneven edges, all with the same materials and techniques.
Instant Results
Unlike treatments that require laboratory work, composite bonding delivers immediate results. Most times, you can walk out of the clinic with a new smile the same day.
Simple Maintenance
Maintenance and good care are bound to good oral hygiene, addressing harmful habits and attending regular check-ups.

Composite Bonding Process
Composite bonding follows a straightforward and carefully planned process, designed to deliver predictable results.
Initial Consultation: A comprehensive evaluation marks the start of your treatment. During this appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth, the complexity of the case and your goals and motivations. This process ensures that composite bonding is the right solution for you.
Treatment Procedure: While slightly lengthy, the procedure is often quick and comfortable:
The tooth surface is cleaned and gently prepared.
A conditioning solution and specialised adhesive is applied to adhere the resin.
The composite material is colour-matched, applied in layers and carefully sculpted.
Each layer is hardened using a curing light.
Polishing and Finishing: Once the resin has fully hardened, the bonded area is polished to create a smooth, glossy finish, allowing the restoration to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and feel comfortable when you bite or speak.
Aftercare and Maintenance: After treatment, maintaining your bonded teeth is as simple as flossing and brushing twice daily, while avoiding damage to the dental work with habits like chewing pens or clenching. With the appropriate case, bonded teeth can remain functional and highly aesthetic for many years.

Aftercare and Durability
The success of composite bonding depends on both the professional and the patient. Recommendations include:
• Brushing gently twice a day.
• Using dental floss.
• Avoiding excessive coffee, tea, or red wine.
• Avoiding very hard foods.
• Getting regular professional cleanings.
With these measures, the restorations can remain aesthetic for many years.
Composites Bonding vs. Porcelain Veneers
Composite bonding and porcelain veneers are common competitors in modern cosmetic dentistry. They can provide similar results but also differ in several crucial ways. Understanding these differences can help you make an informed decision and determine which alternative adapts best to your needs.
Considering Tooth Preservation
One of the main differences between both two treatments is healthy enamel preservation. Composite bonding is one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available, requiring practically no enamel removal to achieve its results. As a result, your natural tooth structure remains intact. On the other hand, porcelain veneers involve removing a thin layer of enamel to allow space for the veneer to sit and attach to the tooth surface properly.
Durability and Longevity
While it may vary depending on multiple factors, composite bonding typically lasts between five and ten years with the appropriate care, which includes diet, hygiene, and regulating some harmful habits like teeth grinding. Porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining and wear and can last 15 to 20 years with the same care measures.
Cost Considerations
Bonding is generally more affordable than veneers, making it an excellent option for patients seeking cosmetic improvements on a budget. Veneers involve laboratory work and higher material costs, increasing their price considerably.
Repairability
If composite bonding chips or wear over time, it can usually be repaired easily without replacing the entire restoration. Veneers, on the contrary, often need to be entirely replaced if damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do composite veneers last?
Who is suitable for composite veneers?
You will need to meet the following criteria prior to having composite veneers:
Healthy teeth and gums.
X-ray to check the supporting structures in your mouth are healthy.
No missing teeth or restorations (crowns and veneers) or failing fillings.
No substantial gaps between your teeth.
No considerable structural damage to individual teeth (must have no more than a quarter of a tooth missing).
Relatively well-aligned teeth.
Can I have more than a single composite veneer?
Yes. We can perform a full smile makeover with composite veneers, improving the shape, contour and shade of multiple individual teeth. We will use digital planning technology to ascertain how to shape and contour each individual tooth to achieve a uniform and symmetrical result.
Can I choose my new tooth shade?
If you are having a single tooth treated, we recommend matching this to your natural tooth shade unless you wish to have teeth whitening treatment at a later date. In this case, you will need to have your teeth whitened prior to getting a veneer. This is because composite resin does not respond to the effects of whitening gel.
If you are having all your front top and bottom teeth treated, we will show you a variety of different tooth shades so you can select which you feel would best suit your smile. Some patients may prefer the ‘Hollywood’ look of a white and bright smile, whilst others might wish to opt for a more natural tooth shade. We will listen closely to your expectations of treatment and deliver the fantastic result you expect.
What’s the difference between composite veneers and porcelain veneers?
Porcelain is superior to resin in its capacity to imitate tooth enamel and is the more durable material of the two. We tend to recommend composite veneers as an introductory treatment to patients who haven’t had veneers before, as more natural tooth structure needs to be removed. They are also more appropriate if a tooth is moderately affected by cosmetic damage, as opposed to mildly affected.
Porcelain veneers also do not stain like composite veneers, and on average, a well-made and looked-after porcelain veneer can last 12-15 years.
What can I expect from composite veneer treatment?
The composite veneer process is quick and simple. Your dentist will clean your teeth and apply a gel to roughen its surface, which allows for a strong bond. The resin material is then painted onto the tooth or teeth in liquid form or as putty and then carefully sculpted in place. Meanwhile, a curing light is used to harden the resin. Once a natural-looking shape and dimensions have been achieved, a special light is used to give that beautiful and unmistakable shine to the tooth.
What is the price of a composite veneer?

How do I keep my composite veneers clean?
Regular professional cleaning treatment by a hygienist will help to ensure your composite veneers remain natural. A diet low in teeth-staining food and drinks will also help prevent your veneer from becoming discoloured.
Do you offer finance for dental treatment?
Yes, we offer interest-free and interest-bearing finance so that high-quality dental care is accessible to all our patients.
I’m embarrassed about coming in – can you help?
We understand that coming in to seek implant-based treatments is a huge life event. Our clinicians are compassionate people who encounter many patients who feel self-conscious about the condition of their mouths. We understand how debilitating lost teeth can be, particularly on your confidence levels and your everyday happiness. We are very happy to book you in for a practice tour or an appointment with our treatment coordinator in a non-clinical setting before your consultation.
Who performs my treatment?
Multiple members of the Westmount Dental clinical team will be involved in the planning and treating your dental care. This includes dentists, dental nurses, dental technicians and sedation dentists, who work seamlessly together to deliver predictable results.
Can you offer sedation?
We do. Sedation is invaluable for helping extremely anxious patients relax during their treatment.
