What Is the Difference Between Porcelain and Composite Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are made in a dental lab, take two visits, resist stains, and last longer. Composite veneers are shaped directly on your teeth in one visit, cost less, and remove little or no enamel, but they stain more easily and need replacing sooner. We offer both.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

Veneers suit adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to fix stains, chips, small gaps, or uneven teeth. Any decay or gum disease is treated first. If you grind your teeth, a night guard helps protect your veneers.

If discoloration is your only concern, professional teeth whitening may be enough. Significantly crooked teeth are often better treated with orthodontics first.

How Do You Get Veneers?

Composite veneers are completed in a single appointment. Porcelain veneers take two visits, with temporary veneers in between.

  1. Consultation - we review your goals and recommend porcelain or composite.
  2. Preparation - for porcelain, a thin layer of enamel is removed and an impression is sent to the lab.
  3. Temporaries - you wear temporary veneers while your porcelain veneers are made.
  4. Bonding - your veneers are checked for fit and color, then bonded in place.

How Much Do Veneers Cost in Roanoke?

Porcelain veneers typically cost about $900 to $2,500 per tooth, and composite veneers about $250 to $1,500 per tooth. Your cost depends on the material and how many teeth are treated. Veneers are usually considered cosmetic, so insurance rarely covers them, but financing is available.

How Do You Care for Veneers?

Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular cleanings. Avoid biting ice, pens, or hard candy, and do not use your teeth to open packages. These habits help your veneers last as long as possible.

Our office is an easy drive from Salem via Electric Road (VA-419), as well as from Cave Spring, Vinton, and Hollins.

Veneers FAQs

How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with good care. Composite veneers usually last about 5 to 7 years before they need repair or replacement.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Each veneer is shaped and shaded to match your smile, and porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel, so well-made veneers are hard to tell apart from natural teeth.
Are veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers involve removing a thin layer of enamel, so the treated teeth will always need a veneer or similar covering. Composite veneers remove little or no enamel and are easier to repair or reverse.
Can veneers be whitened?
No. Whitening gel does not change the color of porcelain or composite. If you also want whiter natural teeth, whiten them first so your veneers can be matched to the new shade.
Do veneers hurt?
Composite veneers usually need no numbing. For porcelain veneers, the area is numbed while the enamel is prepared, and mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is common.
Can I get just one veneer?
Yes. A single veneer can repair one chipped or discolored tooth, and it is color-matched to the neighboring teeth so it blends in.
