Comparison between Composite and Ceramic Veneer

• Ceramic veneers are very durable. Although Ceramic veneers are very thin, usually between 0.5-0.7 millimeters and inherently brittle, once bonded to healthy tooth structure it becomes very strong. Ceramic veneers can last for many years, usually 10-15 years, if you take good care of them using good oral hygiene and avoiding using them to crack or chew hard objects like ice.


• Ceramic veneers create a very life-like and natural tooth appearance. The translucent properties of the Ceramic allows the veneers to mimic the light handling characteristics of enamel giving it a sense of depth which is not possible with other cosmetic bonding materials such as composite resin.


• Ceramic veneers resist staining. Unlike other cosmetic dental bonding materials, Ceramic is a smooth, impervious ceramic and therefore will not pick up permanent stain from cigarette smoking or from dark or richly colored liquids or spices.


• Ceramic veneers are conservative. Only a small amount of tooth structure is removed, if any during the procedure.

Dental Crowns may also be used to correct the same problems that Dental Veneers correct (chips, cracks, gaps, misalignments and discolorations in the front teeth), however with crowns it is a much Less Conservative procedure
