Picking veneers can revolutionize your smile. Northlane Dental provides composite veneers and porcelain veneers, so patients can pick a treatment that fits their look goals wallet, and future needs.

What Are Dental Veneers?​

Dental veneers are slim covers put on the front of teeth to boost their look. They often fix stains, chips uneven edges, gaps, and small alignment issues making a more balanced and good-looking smile.

Composite Veneers Explained​

Dentists apply composite veneers right on the teeth using top-notch tooth-colored resin. People often choose this option because it's handy and budget-friendly.

Composite veneers need little or no tooth prep and dentists can finish them in one visit. They work well for small cosmetic changes and show results right away. They might not last as long as porcelain veneers, but dentists can fix and update them over time.

Porcelain Veneers Explained​

Porcelain veneers are custom-made fixes meant to give long-lasting and very attractive results.

This choice needs more planning and often takes several visits. Porcelain veneers are known to be strong resist stains, and look a lot like natural tooth enamel. They suit patients who want a bigger or longer-lasting change to their smile.

How Do They Differ?​

The main distinction between composite and porcelain veneers involves durability, treatment duration, and lifespan. Composite veneers yield faster outcomes at a reduced price and suit small cosmetic fixes best. Porcelain veneers, though pricier boast better durability and keep their look for many years.

Both treatments can produce great results when customized and applied by capable dentists.
