Composite veneers
Composite veneers, also known as composite bonding, represent an economical and convenient solution for transforming your smile. These direct resin restorations can reshape, realign, and recolour your teeth in a single visit, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking immediate aesthetic improvements without extensive treatment time.
At next level dentistry, Dr Lazaris utilises his artistic expertise and specialised techniques to sculpt composite resin directly onto your teeth, creating naturally beautiful results that can address minor imperfections through to complete smile transformations. This conservative approach requires minimal tooth preparation whilst delivering stunning aesthetic outcomes.
the art of direct composite sculpting
Composite veneers are full or partial coatings applied to tooth surfaces using the same high-quality composite resin material used for white fillings—a sophisticated glass and resin hybrid. Unlike porcelain veneers that require laboratory fabrication, composite veneers are directly sculpted and shaped in your mouth during a single appointment.
This technique allows Dr Lazaris to work artistically, building up your ideal smile layer by layer whilst you provide immediate feedback. The result is a beautifully crafted smile that addresses chipped, stained, or damaged teeth, closes spaces, and corrects minor alignment issues with remarkable precision and artistry.
Composite veneers are ideally suited to cases with minimal functional stress and provide an excellent entry point for smile enhancement, offering immediate gratification with natural-looking results.

Frequently asked questions
How long do composite veneers last?
With proper care, composite veneers typically last 5-7 years before requiring touch-ups or replacement. They may be more prone to staining and chipping than porcelain but are easily repaired and maintained.
Can composite veneers be repaired if damaged?
Yes, one of the major advantages of composite veneers is their repairability. Small chips or wear can often be polished out or repaired in a single visit, making them a practical long-term solution.
Do composite veneers stain?
Composite resin can be susceptible to staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. However, they can be repolished and refreshed to restore their original appearance during maintenance visits.
Are composite veneers reversible?
Yes, composite veneers require minimal tooth preparation and are considered a reversible treatment. If desired, they can be removed with minimal impact to your natural teeth.
How do I care for composite veneers?
Care for composite veneers like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. Avoid using your teeth as tools, minimise staining substances, and attend regular check-ups for professional cleaning and maintenance.
Can composite veneers be whitened?
Existing composite veneers cannot be whitened, but they can be repolished or replaced to achieve a brighter appearance. It’s best to complete any teeth whitening before composite veneer placement.
