These veneers can conceal:
Crooked or uneven teeth
Stains and discolouration
Chips, cracks, or worn edges
Minor alignment concerns
Unlike crowns, composite veneers are more conservative, preserving your natural tooth structure. They’re ideal for healthy teeth needing aesthetic refinements, particularly in young patients or those seeking a cost-effective solution.
-
After thorough cleaning, the teeth are prepared. A bonding agent is applied, followed by layers of composite resin sculpted directly onto your tooth and cured with a special light. Anaesthesia is rarely required and most patients return to normal activities immediately. The polishing process takes at least 30 minutes for a glossy mirror like finish.
-
Composite veneers typically last 4 to 7 years and can be repaired or replaced as needed. With good oral hygiene and habits, their lifespan may be extended. Avoid chewing hard objects like pens or ice to prevent chipping.

FAQs
-
No, getting composite veneers is generally pain-free. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually doesn’t require any drilling or anaesthetic. Some patients might experience mild sensitivity during or shortly after treatment, but this typically settles quickly. Your dentist will ensure your comfort throughout the process.
-
No, composite veneers cannot be whitened like natural teeth because the resin material does not respond to whitening treatments. If your veneers become stained or discoloured over time, your dentist can polish or replace them to restore their appearance. To maintain your veneers, it’s best to avoid staining foods and drinks and practice good oral hygiene.
-
Composite resin veneers typically last between 5 to 7 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and regular dental care. Over time, they may show signs of wear, staining, or minor damage. With proper maintenance and routine check-ups at Brisbane Smile Boutique, your veneers can stay looking great and be repaired or replaced as needed to keep your smile fresh.
-
To keep your composite resin veneers looking their best, it’s important to:
Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing regularly
Avoid biting hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent chipping
Limit consumption of staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine
Attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleans for polishing and monitoring
Consider wearing a night guard if you grind or clench your teeth to protect your veneers
Following these steps will help extend the life of your veneers and keep your smile bright.
