Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

A veneer is a facing glued to a surface of a tooth to improve its appearance or to repair a fractured, worn down or severely filled tooth.

Veneers can be used to cover stained teeth, fill in crevices and gaps, and enhance the appearance of crooked teeth.

The majority of people are familiar with porcelain veneers, which are surfaces made of porcelain or ceramic.

This implies that in order for the dental ceramist to create the porcelain veneers to fit correctly, your natural teeth must typically (but not always) undergo some kind of preparation.

Composite veneers are a type of facing constructed of resin that is tooth-coloured. They can be made similarly to porcelain veneers by a dental technician using impressions or moulds of your teeth.

However, unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can also be created by the dentist right in the dental chair, making them a speedier and more affordable solution to enhance your smile.

What are Composite Veneers?

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Composite veneers are custom made from a composite resin that is applied to the surface of the tooth and moulded to the desired shape and finish. They can be used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that have damage, discolouration, are irregularly shaped, improperly aligned and can also fix minor chips or cracks in the teeth.

Same day smiles

Composite veneers can be created right there in the dental chair, so you could go in with crooked or misaligned teeth and leave with a straighter, whiter smile in just one or two hours!

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

What’s involved?

The composite is applied directly to the front surface of the teeth and moulded to the required shape and size before being set and bonded to the teeth. The veneers are then finely shaped and polished to achieve the desired appearance. It is relatively straightforward to reshape composite veneers either by adding or removing composite, either at the initial appointment or any follow-up appointments if desired.

Are Composite Veneers The Same As Bonding?

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

The material used for composite veneers and bonding is the same which is the composite resin. The only difference about them is how they are applied to your tooth. Bonding normally covers a part of your tooth whilst composite veneer covers the entire surface of your tooth. Both of these are used to improve the aesthetic of your tooth.

Cosmetic applications for Composite Veneers materials

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Cosmetic tooth bonding – Dental bonding can be used to create cosmetic enhancements for teeth.

1) Dental Veneers Veneering of dental bonding over the front side of teeth that have become stained or discoloured as a way of enhancing their cosmetic appearance.

2) Closing a dental gap (diastema). Tooth bonding can be used to fill in gaps that lie between a person’s teeth. When this technique is employed, dental composite is bonded onto the sides of the two teeth that lie on either side of the gap, so to widen each tooth slightly. The net effect is that the space between the two teeth is narrowed, or even filled in completely.

3) Correcting minor cosmetic imperfections. Minor to moderate cosmetic imperfections of chipped, disfigured, or misaligned teeth can be masked or corrected by placing dental bonding.

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Between instagram transformations and celebrity before and after’s, it’s easy to see why certain treatments are at the top of everybody’s wish lists nowadays.

Procedures for Composite Veneers?

What’s involved?

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Pros and cons:

Composite veneers are able to fill and shape teeth in a single visit.
It’s a minimally invasive treatment and requires minimal prep work on your natural teeth, meaning that they are not permanently altered.
The results produced look very natural and blend in well with tooth colour.
They do require more upkeep than Porcelain Veneers, they usually need redoing around every 4-6 years but potentially a lot longer if looked after.

What’s the difference between composite veneers and composite bonding?

In terms of the material they are both the same. However, composite veneers cover the entire surface of the tooth, whilst composite bonding normally covers part of the tooth.

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Composite bonding is usually reserved for situations where small chips or repairs are required. Subtle changes to the tooth shape and length can also be made. Composite veneers on the other hand, work by covering the complete front surface of the tooth structure enabling larger changes in tooth shape and form to take place. Usually 4-6 composite veneers are done to the front teeth to give the same day smile makeover.

Either of the two are great options if you are looking for fast, minimally invasive way to get the perfect smile.

Am I suited to Composite Veneers?

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Your suitability for composite bonding will depend on many factors, such as the position and colour of your teeth, but also what you would like your final smile to look like. Generally, your teeth will need to be in good condition with enough tooth enamel to bond the composite onto.

Composite bonding is primarily for patients who wish to improve the appearance of their smile, but don’t want to go through substantial restorative procedures such as placing veneers or crowns. Your dentist will assess your gums, teeth and bite to ensure composite bonding is suitable for you. This is why the initial consultation is so important in making a proper assessment and treatment plan

What to expect from Composite Veneers

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

The actual bonding procedure is relatively quick. As a fine artist and passionate in Cosmetic dentistry procedures, Dr. Castro takes the time to carefully select a shade of composite resin that perfectly matches your natural tooth colour. This ensures that the cosmetic bonding work is seamless and undetectable to the naked eye. She then roughens the surface of the tooth with a special tool, coats the tooth in a conditioning liquid, and applies the Composite resin,putty-like resin material, allowing her to perfectly fill chips or cracks with high precision. Finally, ultraviolet or laser light is applied to harden the composite resin and complete the bonding. You will sit up from the dental chair with a whole new smile.

What are the benefits of Composite Veneers over other treatments?

Less preparation: composite bonding requires less tooth preparation before treatment, as opposed to the longer preparation needed for procedures such as crowns. This means you spend less time in the dental chair, and need to take less time out of your schedule to visit the clinic.
Fast and effective: composite bonding can often be completed within a single visit, especially in simpler cases. It restores teeth to their natural appearance instantly, and patients leave the chair with a new smile!
Cost effective: composite bonding is considerably less expensive than ceramic restorations such as veneers and crowns, and insurance may cover some of the cost of the procedure. It is also easier and cheaper to repair bonding compared to other restorations, therefore making it easier to maintain. This also saves money in the long-term and makes composite bonding a very worthwhile option at all budgets.
Easily adjustable: composite bonding is relatively easy to adjust and re-shape, depending on your preferences or clinical needs.
Appearance: The bonding material is identical to the colour of natural teeth, so this treatment enables us to give you the most natural and real smile possible.

How do I know whether veneers or bonding is the right choice for me?

Every case of cosmetic dentistry is different and dependent on the extent of improvements that the patient would like to make. If you only have a few smaller imperfections that you would like to rectify, then dental bonding may be the best choice for you. Alternatively, if you are looking for a more comprehensive transformation of your smile, then dental veneers may provide the results that you are looking for.

If you are unsure which is right for you, or would like more information on either option, we highly recommend that you make an appointment with your dentist who will be able to assess the health and quality of your smile and make the right recommendation based on your personal circumstances.

When to use Composite Veneers? When to use Porcelain Veneers?

Both ceramic and composite materials are highly aesthetic and are designed to mimic the look of natural teeth. When placed well and highly polished it can sometimes be difficult to see the difference between filling and tooth!

Composite Veneers

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Composite resin materials when placed on a tooth that is not receiving heavy load and not replacing a highly functional portion of the tooth; such as a tooth cusp, the filling can last for a long time from 3-8 years.

Composite resins are relatively straightforward to place, they take a relatively short period of time to place and can be completed in a single visit however making sure the tooth is clean and dry is essential for “bonding” the material to the tooth which does rely on the dentist’s skill. Composite resins are less brittle than ceramics but have greater wear at the edges so may not last as long as a bonded ceramic restoration. Composite resins are used when restoring teeth with minimal biting forces and can also be used as intermediate restorations when planning full mouth restorative cases.

Porcelain Veneers

Ceramics can be used on their own to create a restoration for a tooth either as an inlay, onlay, full crown or veneer or as a hybrid type crown (metal inner layer with porcelain/ceramic exterior). Ceramics have high aesthetics and can be bonded to the tooth to restore looks and function.

When placed adequately, ceramic restorations can last 15+ years, However when looking at composite vs ceramic, composite resins they are more brittle, with increased thickness there is increased brittleness and higher chance of cracks and chips, this is often mediated by carefully designing the ceramic in a laboratory and if concerned about brittleness, they can be bonded to an internal layer of metal to provide extra support for the ceramic (hybrid type crown).

One difference between ceramic and composite materials is that ceramics have better wear resistance, mechanical properties and have less stress on the surrounding tooth at the restoration-tooth margin. Ceramics are ideal for inlays, cusp coverage restoration such as crowns and onlays, and as highly aesthetic veneers. Ceramics are often used in smile makeover cases!

When to use Porcelain Veneers?

Very high aesthetics, such as veneers or anterior crowns
Heavily broken-down teeth.
Closing the gap between two teeth, designed in the lab to precisely make an ideal contact point and prevent food packing.
Restoring multiple teeth in a row to precisely design how the teeth bite together.
Full mouth rehabilitation cases combining hybrid type crowns with ceramic/porcelain veneers.

As always, the long-term prognosis of any restoration also heavily relies heavily on the environment of the mouth it is placed in. The best way to help a filling or ceramic restoration last a very long time is impeccable oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Will a Composite Veneers procedure be uncomfortable or painful?

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Not at all. Bonding is a non-invasive procedure and one of the most comfortable restorations you can receive. In order to complete the restoration or to make cosmetic improvements, all we need to do is roughen the tooth slightly and apply a conditioning liquid. Next, we will apply the resin material that matches the shade of your teeth. We will shape the material to match the tooth size as well, before hardening it in place. Since your tooth structure remains intact, you will be comfortable during the procedure. In fact, most people do not need any anaesthesia or pain medication for the bonding procedure.

Will there be pain after Composite Veneers treatment?

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Pain should be minimal after composite veneer treatment or none at all.

The preparation and bonding process requires strict control over the surrounding gum tissue. They are lightly pushed out of the way during the procedure, and some people can have mild discomfort in this area for a day or two after treatment.

Rarely, the bite can be left a little too heavy on a tooth after bonding leading to slight tenderness in that tooth. Again, this will be easily and quickly resolved with a quick bite adjustment as required.

Care of Bonded Teeth

Same Day – One Visit Smile Transformation with Composite Veneers Melbourne

Because bonding material can chip, it is important to avoid such habits as biting fingernails, chewing on pens, ice or other hard food objects, or using your bonded teeth to tear things open. If you do notice any sharp edges on a bonded tooth or if your tooth feels odd when you bite down, call your dentist.

Otherwise, bonded teeth don’t need special care. Simply follow good oral hygiene practices.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
Floss at least once a day.
Rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash once or twice a day.
See your dentist for regular professional checkups and cleanings.

Tips in order to increase the lifespan of Composite Veneers

In order to increase the lifespan of dental bonding, it would be wise to keep the following tips in mind: Decrease the intake of coffee. Highly coloured drinks and food to a minimum as they will stain your dental bonding. Be mindful of what you eat and live a healthy lifestyle.
Quit smoking as it is bad for the lungs too. There is no point in adopting a habit, which is putting your health in danger.
Do not chew too hard on things like raw carrot, pencil, ice chips. It is not wise to bite on nails. There is a possibility of chipping of teeth.
Get regular dental checkups and make sure everything is smooth and fine. If you feel something is wrong or if there are any sharp edges let the dentist deal with the issue.
It is extremely important to choose the dentist wisely for this kind of procedure as it would require skill from the dentist. If necessary, you can ask the dentist for the before and after photos of their previous patients.
Always remember that feeling good is extremely important. If you feel good from within you will smile from outside. Despite the fact, dental bonding or any other procedure can give relevant self-esteem, it would be important to have a content heart.
