There are various types of dental veneers<\/strong> and variations, but there are two main ones, depending on the material they are made from (if you’re new to them, start with what dental veneers are<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composite veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These veneers are made directly on the tooth, by bonding resin that is then shaped to the form of the tooth. The resin used is similar to the one used for fillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are the cheapest veneers available and also the quickest and easiest to fit, although their quality is lower than that of porcelain veneers, as they are weaker and more prone to chipping and losing their colour over time, so regular check-ups are needed to keep them in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These dental veneers<\/a> are made in advance in a laboratory and then fitted to the patient’s teeth, so they involve more work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why they cost more than composite veneers, but bear in mind that they deliver better results in terms of quality and appearance, as they last longer, need less frequent maintenance and look more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having compared composite and porcelain veneers, it’s worth pointing out that how long they last doesn’t make one better than the other, as each type has its own specific features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, depending on each patient’s needs and circumstances, one type of veneer may be more suitable than the other, regardless of their quality. The best thing to do is let your dentist advise you and suggest the best option, because they are best placed to decide which one is most appropriate and suits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other types of dental veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Componeer veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This type of dental veneer is not widely used in Spain, although more and more clinics are offering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are prefabricated composite veneers, very thin and available in different types, from which the dentist chooses the most suitable one for the tooth being treated. Like standard composite veneers, they can also be filed down after hardening so that they are fully tailored to the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumineers veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These dental veneers are the most in demand and, therefore, the ones celebrities use most, because they are extremely thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are very thin porcelain veneers that don’t need to be shaped once they are placed on the tooth, so fitting them is much simpler than with traditional porcelain veneers. However, they require a much more precise and specialised manufacturing process, so their price is fairly high.
