At Dove Dental, we understand that your smile is important to you. That’s why we offer composite resin veneers, which are a cosmetic dental treatment used to address the appearance of your teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth.
They can be made from composite resin or porcelain, and they are an excellent option for people who want to address the appearance of their smile. Composite veneers are made from composite resin, which is a durable material that can be shaped and coloured to match your natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers are made from porcelain, which is a strong and durable material that is resistant to staining. At Dove Dental, we offer both composite and porcelain veneers, and our experienced team will work with you to help you choose the best option for your cosmetic treatment plan. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Who Is A Suitable Candidate For Composite Veneers And Bonding?
Teeth bonding is often recommended for patients who have small chips or cracks in their teeth, or who have gaps between their teeth. The bonding material is applied to the teeth and then hardened with a special light. This treatment can usually be done in one office visit.
Resin veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are bonded to the front of teeth. They are an option for patients who have discoloured teeth, misshapen teeth, or teeth that are too small or too large. Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin and are less expensive than porcelain veneers.
However, they may not last as long and may require more maintenance than porcelain veneers. In general, patients who want to address the appearance of their teeth with cosmetic dentistry should consult with a dentist to find out which treatment is right for them.

What Is Composite Teeth Bonding?
Composite teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment in which a tooth-coloured resin is used to attach artificial tooth material to the surface of the teeth. The resin is made of a plastic and glass mixture, and it contains minerals that help to resist staining and wear. Bonding can be used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, change the colour of teeth, or improve the shape of teeth.
The treatment is usually performed in one visit to the dentist, and it does not require any special preparation. However, it is important to keep in mind that bonding is not as durable as other tooth restoration options such as veneers or crowns. As a result, it may need to be replaced more often. Nevertheless, composite bonding can be an excellent option for people who want to address the appearance of their smile without undergoing extensive dental work.
Composite veneers are often used to correct minor cosmetic imperfections, such as tooth discolouration or small chips. They can also be used to close gaps between the teeth. Composite veneers are not as strong as porcelain veneers, but they are less expensive and easier to repair. Composite teeth bonding is a process in which a putty-like resin is applied to the teeth and then allowed to harden. The hardened resin veneers are then polished to create a natural-looking finish.

Risks & Recovery
Composite veneers are a conservative option for improving tooth shape and colour, but they also carry some risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Minor gum irritation or temporary sensitivity after placement
- Chipping or wear of the composite material over time
- Staining or discolouration, especially from coffee, tea or smoking
- Composite may need more frequent repairs or replacements compared to porcelain
Recovery considerations:
- Patients usually resume normal activities immediately
- Any initial sensitivity typically resolves within a few days
- Regular maintenance and polishing can help preserve the appearance of the veneers
