So you\u2019re thinking about getting veneers<\/strong><\/a>? There are two main types of dental veneers<\/strong> that you can get, both types have their advantages and disadvantages, but they also suit the criteria of different people. First, let\u2019s just cover what veneers are, veneers are a cap that covers the front part of the tooth changing the appearance, shade and shape of the tooth.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s move on to the different types of veneers and cover why they may be suitable for you.
\nThe first type of veneer<\/strong> is resin veneers, also known as composite veneers. These are made with the same resin material used for white fillings. Resin veneers<\/strong> are great for those who want veneers but with limited damage to the teeth, as resin veneers do require less preparation for the teeth. Sometimes resin veneers are referred to as \u2018temporary veneers<\/strong>\u2019 and this is because their longevity is much less than porcelain veneers,<\/strong> lasting around 5 years.<\/p>\n

What are the pros when it comes to resin veneers?<\/h5>\n

They require less preparation than porcelain veneers<\/a><\/strong>
\nThey are typically more affordable
\nResin veneers are perfect for people who want small adjustments<\/p>\n

What are the cons when it comes to resin veneers?<\/h5>\n

They do require frequent maintenance as they are prone to staining
\nThey do need replacing after around 5 years
\nThey do still require some preparation of the teeth
\nThey are more likely to chip than porcelain veneers<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve guessed what the second type of veneer<\/a><\/strong> is by now\u2026 That\u2019s right it\u2019s porcelain veneers<\/a><\/strong>. Porcelain veneers<\/strong> are typically chosen when someone has compromised teeth or they want a more permanent solution. Whilst porcelain veneers<\/strong> cost almost double the price of resin veneers<\/strong>, they have fantastic longevity and give the best finish. It\u2019s worth saying here that you can have any number of veneers<\/strong>, whether you opt for porcelain or resin, as your dentist will shade match your veneers<\/strong> to your existing teeth.<\/p>\n

What are the pros when it comes to porcelain veneers?<\/h5>\n

They can last for around 15 years
\nThey require little maintenance and due to their non-porous structure they do not stain
\nPorcelain<\/strong> is the strongest material that can be used and therefore is less likely to chip or break<\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, porcelain is the highest quality material available and so the results often look stunningly natural.<\/p>\n

What are the cons when it comes to porcelain veneers?<\/h5>\n

They are more expensive than resin veneers
\nThey do require more extensive preparation of the teeth
\nThey are considered more \u2018permanent\u2019 and therefore once fitted they\u2019re more challenging to alter.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s our opinion? There is a lot to consider when it comes to choosing which type of veneers you opt for. Your dentist will be able to assist you with this decision, based on your age, needs and dental condition. When considering veneers, price does come into play massively for some people. You must consider that on top of the initial cost of veneers<\/strong> you will need to commit to maintenance, especially if you opt for resin veneers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
