Composite Veneers – Compared to porcelain, composite veneers are applied in one day and last up to 12 years, if properly maintained. Composite veneers can either be applied directly or indirectly, depending on how much material is needed. If you have minor misalignment then the composite veneers are applied in layers and sculpted directly in your mouth. With indirect application, the dentist first takes an impression of your teeth, sends the cast to the lab where dental technician create custom-made composite veneers which are then applied. The advantage of these composite veneers is that you can take them off and replace whenever you like. Thus you need to be extra careful with their maintenance, since they tend to stain fast.

Porcelain Veneers – If you are looking for a long lasting solution, then definitely go with the porcelain veneers as they do not require a lot of maintenance and usually last at least 15-20 years. This is why they cost more than the composite veneers. No need to worry if you are passionate tea or coffee drinker, porcelain veneers are stain resistant. If you want to get that natural looking smile, then this is the choice you need to make. Porcelain veneers are the best teeth restoration procedure available in the cosmetic dentistry. During this procedure a thin fingernail thickness layer is removed from your tooth enamel and bonded with a thin sculptured porcelain veneer.
