How the composite veneers treatment works

Composite veneers help making your tooth appear more aesthetically pleasing. These can either be built up in layers by hand or can be prefabricated and then bonded to the tooth. When these are built up by hand, the task is accomplished by a dentist who relies on a combination of techniques and colours to create a life like appearance. When bonding is concerned, it is relevant to mention that these are bonded the same way as porcelain veneers.

Staining or discolouration

As a matter of fact composite veneers are a great way to improve the colour of the teeth and make those appear whiter.

Yellowish teeth because of genetic reason cannot be whitened through whitening treatments. A prominent dentist in the UK says composite veneers prove to be a realistic option to tackle these cases.

Gaps between the teeth

Many people have spacing issues or gaps in their teeth. The problem of gapped teeth is more prominent for the teeth that are at the front of the mouth. Thus every time they smile, they reveal a gummy smile.
