Your dentist applies resin to the tooth, shapes it and polishes the surface. A composite veneer generally covers more of the visible tooth surface than a small area of bonding used for a specific chip.
Some cases can be completed in one treatment appointment after assessment and planning. The time required depends on how many teeth are involved and what other care is needed.
Parramatta Dentistry | Cosmetique Dental offers free composite veneer consultations for new and existing patients. Call (02) 8090 1109 to discuss your options at our Hunter Street practice.
Composite may be worth discussing if you want to change a particular tooth edge, shape or small gap. Your dentist will check the underlying teeth, gums and bite before recommending treatment.
Ask about porcelain veneers, limited bonding, whitening or clear aligners where relevant. The aim is to understand which option addresses your concern and what each involves, including the option of leaving healthy teeth unchanged.
The fee depends on the number of teeth and work required. Ask for a written quote that includes any other care and likely maintenance. Humm is an external payment-plan provider, subject to eligibility, approval, fees and terms.
Discuss your questions and assess whether composite veneers, another treatment or no cosmetic treatment is appropriate. Scans, photographs and X-rays may be included where clinically necessary. There is no obligation to proceed.
Discuss the proposed tooth shape and colour, preparation and fees before deciding whether to proceed.
Your dentist prepares the surface for bonding. Some teeth need adjustment; do not assume treatment is always preparation-free or reversible.
Resin is applied and shaped on the tooth, then hardened with a dental curing light. The approach depends on the planned restoration.
Your dentist polishes the surface, checks your bite and explains cleaning and follow-up. Let the practice know about persistent discomfort or a changed bite.
Composite veneers are not automatically reversible or suitable without preparation. Some teeth need adjustment, and enamel removed during treatment cannot be replaced.
Possible issues include sensitivity, staining, roughness, chipping or resin coming away from the tooth. The final shape or shade may differ from what you expected. Ongoing dental care remains necessary, and repairs can involve additional fees.
