Composite veneers in London, also known as direct or instant veneers, are made out of composite material and used to improve the appearance of damaged or discoloured teeth or teeth with unattractive gaps or improper alignment.
Composite veneers require no drilling and no injection for instantly transformation of your smile!
In dentistry, placement of a thin layer of any material over a tooth is referred to as dental veneer or laminates. In essence, composite veneers are a layer of resin material that is directly applied to the teeth. Composite veneers are sometimes called instant veneers, because they can be done in one visit; leaving you with a beautiful smile in a matter of a few hours.
Composite veneers are made from the resin based material and applied as a thin layer directly to the tooth.
Composite veneers work by helping to create a more visually aesthetic tooth. They can either be built up in layers by hand by the dentist using a combination of colours and techniques in order to produce a life-like appearance or they can be prefabricated and then bonded to the tooth. They are bonded in the same way as a porcelain veneer is.
For example, if your tooth is chipped, we can quickly fix it, without the need for any extensive procedures. Thus, one of the advantages of a composite veneer is that it does not need to fully cover all of a tooth. Such a technique is not possible with porcelain veneers.
Almost any person can be a candidate for composite veneers. This type of veneers can solve many dental concerns and improves the appearance of the teeth. Imagine getting rid of those chipped, yellow teeth, teeth with dark spots in one simple appointment – this is what instant composite veneers can do for you.

These veneers are made from white filling material, this resin based material and is applied as a thin layer directly to the tooth.
To bond your composite veneers, your dentist will clean the surface of your tooth and etch it slightly to ensure that the veneer bonds securely. They will then dry your tooth to remove excess moisture, and will then apply the bonding agent (dental cement and resin). Once your tooth is ready, your dentist will apply the composite material in layers. Skilfully sculpting your tooth into shape, the dentist will remove any additional dental composite, before the final smoothing and polishing of your tooth.

Composite veneers are strong and do not break easily. Composite veneers can chip for a variety of reasons, most commonly biting and chewing on hard food or grinding and clenching teeth. But even if they do break, they are usually easily repaired in one visit. This is not the case with porcelain veneers.
Composite veneers last about 3-5 years. However, good oral hygiene and maintenance can make your composite veneers last longer. Our dentists have seen cases when composite veneers lasted over 10 years.
Composite veneers are considered to be a reversible treatment option because there is no drilling involved.
Composite veneers are not covered by the insurance. However, we are happy to work with you and offer flexible payment options.
Composite veneers cannot be whitened. But this is true with any form of dental restorations including porcelain veneers. We suggest that the patient whitens their teeth first and then has the composite veneers placed. Then the colour of the veneers can then be matched to the whitened teeth.
Composite veneers mean that a tooth/teeth will be covered with a small layer of the resin, which will make your smile more visually balanced and aesthetic.
Composite veneers help to improve small visual imbalances in the teeth.
Composite veneers last about 3-5 years in comparison with porcelain veneers which are expected to last about 7-10 years. However, there can be a large variation in longevity of both types. Our dentists have seen some composite veneers to last for more than 10 years, where in other cases porcelain veneers have not lasted for more than few years. In our experience, keeping good oral hygiene and maintenance, composite veneers can last much longer.
We often get asked - can composite veneers straighten teeth? We understand, so many of us wish we had a fast solution to correct crooked teeth instead of brace treatment. However, we do NOT recommend using composite veneers to straighten teeth. Instead we offer multiple teeth straightening solutions for time-constrained people. Please check out invisible braces solutions (Lingual braces, Invisalign). Some treatments can help achieve fantastic results in only 3-6 months.
Composite veneers do not damage your teeth.
We have combined the inside knowledge and experience of American, Brazilian, European and British dentistry to bring you the most advanced, evidence-based techniques to design a smile you will love and be empowered to maintain.
