A small chip can have a big effect on confidence. Before choosing ceramic for several teeth, describe the specific change you want.
Discuss both materials
Composite is tooth-coloured material that can be shaped directly. Porcelain veneers are custom shells. Composite is generally easier to repair; porcelain has different stain-resistance and cost considerations. An examination guides the choice.
Bring more than a reference photograph
Mention trauma, grinding and bite concerns. A photo can communicate your preferences, but cannot confirm suitability or guarantee the same result.
Ask about the scope
- Which teeth need treatment and why?
- Could a smaller intervention address my concern?
- How would a future chip be repaired?
- What follow-up and maintenance are expected?
Frequently asked questions
Are veneers always no-preparation?
No. Tooth tissue may need to be removed, and that change is not reversible. Ask about the plan for your own teeth.
Can composite close every gap?
No universal answer applies. Tooth shape and your bite may make another option worth discussing.
