They are thin layers of composite resin that adhere to the anterior surface of the teeth, modifying their shape, color and size. This material, composed of a mixture of resins and filler particles, offers highly aesthetic results, thus providing a customized solution to correct dental imperfections and improve the aesthetics of the smile.
Composite veneers are classified as follows:
Direct: They are modeled and applied directly on the tooth in a single visit to the dentist. They are ideal for minor corrections and adapt to the individual needs of each patient.
Indirect: They are fabricated in a dental laboratory from an impression of the teeth. They offer greater precision and durability and are ideal for more complex cases that require detailed planning.

Composite veneers are a versatile solution for a wide range of dental aesthetic problems. Their main function is to restore the beauty of the smile, correcting various alterations that affect the shape, color and position of the teeth.
Loss of dental structure: When teeth have suffered wear due to caries, erosion or fractures.
Dental trauma: In case of fractured or chipped teeth, veneers offer an aesthetic and functional solution.
Diastema: Veneers are ideal for closing spaces between teeth.
Tooth discolorations: Veneers are very effective to correct intrinsic (internal) or extrinsic (external) stains caused by the consumption of colored food and beverages, tobacco or previous dental treatments.
Morphological alterations: If teeth are too small or irregularly shaped, veneers can modify their contour and size to achieve a more symmetrical smile.
Occlusal deficiencies: Veneers can correct unevenness and improve chewing function.
Before deciding on a type of veneer, it is important to have a thorough understanding of its advantages and disadvantages. Below we explain in detail the pros and cons of each type of veneer:
Composite veneers:
-Composite veneers offer a quick and affordable aesthetic alternative. Because they are made directly in the mouth, the process is faster and usually requires only one visit to the dentist.
-They allow for easy adjustments and repairs.
-Compared to other types of veneers, the cost of composite veneers is usually lower.
-With the right materials, very satisfactory aesthetic results are obtained.
– Tooth preparation is minimal, preserving most of the tooth enamel.
Considerations to take into account:
-Although they are resistant, composite veneers may be more susceptible to wear and present a shorter lifespan than porcelain veneers.
-They require periodic visits to the dentist to prolong their life and avoid staining or cracking.
-Consumption of colored foods and beverages, as well as smoking, can cause gradual discoloration of veneers.

Porcelain veneers offer a durable, high-quality aesthetic solution. Manufactured in a dental laboratory, these thin ceramic veneers adhere to the surface of the teeth.
-Superior aesthetics: Porcelain perfectly mimics the natural appearance of teeth.
-Durability: Thanks to their high resistance to fracture and wear, porcelain veneers offer a long-term solution.
-Stain resistance: Their smooth, non-porous surface prevents pigment build-up, maintaining their original color over time.
-Enamel preservation: Advances in dental adhesives allow treatment with minimal tooth preparation, preserving the natural enamel.
-Tooth reinforcement: Porcelain veneers can reinforce teeth weakened by trauma or extensive decay.
-They can be adapted to any shade and shape of tooth, achieving a natural and harmonious smile.
-By improving the appearance of your teeth, veneers contribute to a more balanced and attractive facial aesthetic.
-They can correct a wide variety of aesthetic problems, from stains and fractures to misaligned or gapped teeth.
-They help restore proper occlusion, improving chewing function and distributing forces in a balanced way.
-Achieving a beautiful, healthy smile also has a positive impact on self-esteem and confidence.

The cost of composite veneers varies depending on the number of teeth to be treated. It is important to note that, due to the high price of porcelain veneers, many patients prefer composite veneers, as they provide satisfactory aesthetic results and have a durability of between 5 and 10 years, all at a more affordable price.
To obtain an accurate estimate for your treatment, we invite you to visit us. After making a diagnosis and defining the most suitable treatment plan for you, we will provide you with a personalized quotation including the detailed cost of the veneers.
The dentist’s first step will be to perform a thorough analysis of your teeth, looking at their shape, size and the amount of healthy tooth tissue available. Aspects such as your facial proportions, gender and age will also be taken into account to determine which tooth shape and size will be the most flattering to improve your appearance.
It is essential that your teeth and gums are completely healthy, in other words, free of decay, gum disease and tartar deposits, before treatment begins.
When applying the veneers, the dentist will reduce the surface of the teeth to be treated to make room for the composite material. Then, the dentist will isolate the area with a rubber band to prevent the entry of contaminants and proceed to carefully place the composite of the selected color, layer by layer, until the desired shape is achieved.
We encourage you to make an appointment with us if you have a problem with your teeth and believe that composite veneers may be the ideal solution to improve both the appearance and health of your smile. Our highly trained and committed team of specialists is dedicated to providing you with quality treatment tailored to your needs, so don’t wait any longer and contact us.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
