Veneers are thin shells that transform the front of the teeth. They come in two main types, porcelain and composite, each with clear strengths.
Quick answer
Porcelain veneers are the premium option: extremely natural, stain-resistant and long-lasting (10 to 15 years), but cost more and are made in a lab. Composite veneers are more affordable and often done in one visit, but last less long (5 to 8 years) and stain more easily. The best choice depends on your budget, goals and timeline.
Porcelain veneers
- The most natural, lifelike appearance.
- Highly stain-resistant and durable (10 to 15 years).
- Custom-made in a lab over two visits.
Composite veneers
- More affordable, often single-visit.
- Easily repaired, but stain and wear faster.
- Last around 5 to 8 years.
