Composite Resin Veneers

A tooth-colored filling material is glued to the tooth to create a composite resin veneer. The operation is usually performed while the patient is seated. Composite resin veneers have the following advantages:

• usually less tooth enamel needs to be removed than for crowns or porcelain veneers
• may mean fewer visits to the dentist—sometimes these veneers take just one visit
• cost less than porcelain veneers
• are easy to fix if they get damaged; although composite veneers are generally not as strong or wear-resistant as porcelain veneers, composite veneers can be repaired easily and quickly
