Keep reading and learn more about how composite resin veneers are an alternative that guarantees faster, minimally invasive, and more affordable results. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a more durable, natural-looking, and slightly more expensive option, porcelain veneers may be ideal for you.
Whether you choose porcelain veneers or decide that composite resin veneers are more suitable for you, at Avana Smile Design, we can help you personalize each covering so that it fits your anatomy, face, skin tone, age, and both aesthetic and functional expectations. We’re talking about applying highly specialized techniques and carrying out a detailed evaluation of your facial features.
Composite Resin Veneers: An Accessible and Practical Option
Before determining whether resin veneers are ideal for you, our dentists at Avana Smile Design will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your oral habits, bite stability, and facial composition. This way, you’ll be able to decide not only whether this treatment is viable for you but also whether it fits your needs and lifestyle. This dental procedure stands out for:
- Being fast and minimally invasive.
- Having a more affordable cost.
- Being relatively easy to repair.
- Having a shorter lifespan.
- Requiring periodic maintenance.
- Being less durable if not properly cared for.
Also known as direct aesthetic restorations, composite resin veneers are one of the most popular options among patients who come to our clinic looking for a quick and affordable solution. They are also reversible and adaptable, making them suitable even for young patients who have not yet fully developed their dental and facial structures.
Porcelain Veneers: Natural Beauty and High Durability
The resistance of porcelain veneers also means they require minimal polishing or maintenance, making them an excellent long-term investment in your self-esteem, confidence, and oral health. They are considered the gold standard in aesthetic odontology thanks to their durability of up to 15 years, versatility, and ability to adapt to each patient’s face.
The placement process is meticulous and lengthy, and it goes through very specific phases structured according to the individual needs of the patients. Initially, a thorough evaluation is carried out, and through digital smile design techniques, the color and style of the veneers are selected. Later, minimal tooth reduction is performed to allow the veneer to adhere to the tooth, and temporary veneers are placed while the lab fabricates the permanent ones. Finally, the ceramic dental laminates are tested and bonded.
Capable of almost perfectly mimicking the enamel and shine of natural teeth while simultaneously enhancing their flawless finish and superior resistance, porcelain veneers stand out. With this method, you can also achieve sophisticated and highly realistic results, which is ideal for you if what you’re looking for is precisely that white, stable, and balanced smile for a long time.
Which Type of Veneer Is Best for You? Factors to Consider
Now that you’re familiar with some of the characteristics of veneers, it’s essential that you analyze the factors that can determine which of the two options is best for you. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics or budget — you should also consider the functional implications and what best suits your oral health.
The time required to perform the procedure is another matter to consider initially. If what you need is a quick and practical solution, whether due to an upcoming important event or a particular health issue, you may want to opt for composite resin since it is applied and sculpted directly onto the teeth in a single appointment. Porcelain veneers may take a little longer, keeping in mind that they achieve a higher level of detail and precision.
Also, analyze the financial scope of your decision. On the one hand, we have resin veneers, which can be placed in a single visit and are more affordable. On the other hand, porcelain veneers require several visits to our clinic and come at a higher cost. However, in the case of the former, maintenance must be done more frequently, and durability is reduced by several years.
