How are porcelain veneers and resin veneers different for Miami area patients?

Patients who are looking for a more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers may consider the benefits that resin veneers provide. In just one day, a patient can improve the appearance of their smiles with veneers made of composite resin, versus those fabricated with porcelain. Both are used to disguise imperfections of a tooth, including the shape, size, color, or overall appearance. Drs. Pasquier, of Miami Modern Dental, discusses with patients the benefits that each can provide, and helps patients understand the difference between porcelain veneers and resin veneers.

Composite resin veneers are typically more affordable than traditional porcelain veneers. They can be applied to the teeth in just one visit. Porcelain veneers require several visits, which may include the removal of tooth enamel. Resin veneers are bonded to the surface of the tooth and sculpted to the desired appearance, just as dental composite bonding is used to cover and reshape a natural tooth.

Patients who receive resin veneers on of their teeth will be able to enjoy them for well over five years with healthy dental habits, and treatment is less expensive than porcelain veneers. They are great for patients who are not ready for porcelain veneers yet want to make a positive transformation to their smile. The treatment is readily available for adults with otherwise healthy smiles. They may be the solution to a dull, tired smile that has not responded well to teeth bleaching or other cosmetic options.

Veneers provide a desirable way to make fast, efficient changes to the smile. They cover teeth that may be misaligned, crooked, chipped, cracked, or otherwise less than desirable. One resin veneer can improve a single tooth, while a series of veneers can complete a smile makeover.
