Yes. Repairs can be done to composite treatments at an extra cost.

Yes. The technique employed during composite veneer treatment does not require involvement from third parties such as prosthesis labs that specialise in porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are done directly onto the teeth by the dentist, and the number of consultations needed is less than that of porcelain veneer treatments.

Composite veneers do not require drilling and wearing of teeth in the majority of cases, whereas porcelain veneers generally require this. Therefore, treatment with composite veneers is more conservative.

Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, making it a more expensive procedure as it involves another professional and also requires more visits to the dentist. On the other hand, composite veneers are made directly on the teeth’s surface by the dentist themselves in one visit.

In patients who have just finished orthodontic treatment and patients that have never had any restorative cosmetic treatment, composite veneers are definitely the better first-line option. In the future, they can have them removed and get porcelain veneers should they wish.

It is possible to repair composite veneers if they chip or break. Also, if after some years the veneers become stained or if the gums begin to recede, composite veneers can have new composite added, whereas porcelain veneers have to be removed and exchanged for new ones.
