What’s the difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth, giving them a natural and beautiful look. They are highly resistant to stains and offer long-lasting results.
Composite veneers, on the other hand, are crafted from tooth-coloured resin material. They can be directly applied to your teeth and shaped to improve their shape, size and colour.
How do I know which type of veneer is best for me?

Choosing between porcelain veneers and composite veneers, also referred to as composite bonding, will largely depend on your desired results, the condition of your existing teeth and your budget.
What to expect from your veneers
Dental veneers are renowned for their ability to whiten teeth. Porcelain veneers offer remarkable stain resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, bright white appearance. Their ability to mimic the natural look of your teeth makes them a popular choice over composite veneers in certain cases.
Contrary to what some people believe, porcelain veneers do not weaken your existing teeth. When professionally fitted by a dentist, porcelain veneers can be just as strong and durable as natural teeth.
Composite veneers offer several advantages too. One benefit is that they are less invasive than porcelain veneers during the application process and can be applied more quickly. Patients looking for composite veneers in London can usually get them fitted within a single appointment.
Another advantage is that if composite veneers become chipped or damaged, a cosmetic dentist can repair them without needing to replace the entire veneer. Porcelain veneers may be less likely to chip, but if they do, they cannot be repaired and would require complete veneer replacement.
How much do veneers cost in London?
Take a look at our comprehensive price list for our top-quality veneers in London. We understand that cosmetic dentistry treatments can be expensive, which is why we offer financing options to help you manage and spread out the costs.
When weighing the cost of composite resin veneers against porcelain dental veneers, it’s important to note that porcelain veneers can be notably more expensive. However, if you consider the longevity aspect, porcelain veneers may actually prove to be a better financial choice in the long term.
This is because they tend to last longer and require fewer replacements compared to their composite counterparts. So when comparing composite vs porcelain veneers, it’s crucial to factor in how frequently you might need to replace your dental veneers.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can typically last around 15 years on average. This durability makes them a popular choice over composite veneers, which may only last between 3 to 5 years without ongoing dental treatment. Some of Dr Oliver’s patients have had their veneers for over 25 years.
