Enhance Your Smile with Composite Resin Veneers at Archer Dental
At Archer Dental, we believe that everyone deserves a confident smile. Composite resin veneers, also known as direct composite veneers, offer a versatile and cost-effective solution for transforming your teeth. Whether you want to fix minor imperfections or achieve a complete smile makeover, our experienced team is here to help you every step of the way.
What Are Composite Resin Veneers?
Composite resin veneers are thin layers of tooth-colored composite material that are applied and shaped directly on the tooth. Unlike traditional veneers, this direct approach means the composite is not glued on but sculpted directly onto the tooth surface. These veneers are ideal for addressing issues such as:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Misaligned or uneven teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn-down teeth
The Benefits of Composite Resin Veneers
Choosing composite resin veneers at Archer Dental comes with several advantages:
- Minimal Enamel Removal: Unlike other veneer procedures, composite veneers require minimal removal of your natural enamel, preserving the integrity of your teeth.
- Quick Application: The procedure can typically be completed in just one visit, allowing you to enjoy your new smile sooner.
- Cost-Effective: Composite veneers are generally more affordable than porcelain options, making them accessible for a wider range of patients.
- Versatile and Repairable: These veneers can address a wide range of dental issues and are easily repairable if damaged.

How Do Composite Resin Veneers Work?
At Archer Dental, we utilize advanced technology to ensure the best results for our patients. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the composite resin veneer procedure:
- Consultation and Digital Imaging: Your journey begins with a consultation, where our dental professionals will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. We use the I-Tero 3D scanner to create a digital impression of your teeth. This allows us to design the veneers on a computer, giving you a preview of your new smile.
- Approval and Matrix Ordering: Once you can see how your smile will look after on our computer and approve the design, we order a customized 3M matrix based on your digital scan. This matrix ensures precise application and shaping of the composite material.
- Application and Shaping: In your next appointment, we apply the composite material directly to your teeth using the 3M matrix as a guide. The composite is sculpted to achieve the desired shape and appearance. A special curing light hardens the material, ensuring durability.
- Finishing Touches: After the resin is set, we polish the veneers to give them a natural, smooth finish. Final adjustments are made to ensure a perfect fit and optimal comfort.
How Long Do Composite Resin Veneers Last?
Composite resin veneers are durable and can last anywhere from 5 to 7 years with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, can help extend the lifespan of your veneers. Avoid habits that can damage the veneers, such as biting on hard objects or consuming excessively staining foods and drinks.
How Much Do Composite Resin Veneers Cost?
At Archer Dental, composite resin veneers are priced at $350 per tooth. This cost-effective option allows you to achieve a beautiful smile without a significant financial burden. For those interested in porcelain veneers, they are priced at $1200 per tooth, and can go as low as $800 per tooth if six or more veneers are done at the same time. These prices apply if you are paying out of pocket, without insurance.
The Composite Resin Veneer Procedure
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Archer Dental. During this visit, our dental professionals will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if composite resin veneers are the right choice for you.
- Preparation: If you decide to proceed, we will prepare your teeth by lightly etching the surface to ensure a strong bond for the veneers.
- Application: The composite resin material is carefully applied to your teeth in thin layers. Our skilled dentists will sculpt the material to achieve the desired shape and appearance. Once the resin is shaped, a special curing light is used to harden the material.
- Finishing Touches: After the resin is hardened, we will polish the veneers to give them a natural, glossy finish. Final adjustments will be made to ensure a perfect fit and optimal comfort.
Composite Resin Veneers vs. Porcelain Veneers (for the Composite Resin Veneers Page)Choosing between composite resin veneers and porcelain veneers depends on various factors such as durability, appearance, and cost. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide:
Durability and Longevity
- Composite Resin Veneers: These veneers generally last 5-7 years and are more susceptible to staining and chipping compared to porcelain. However, they can be easily repaired if damaged.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are known for their superior durability, lasting 10-15 years with proper care. They are highly resistant to staining and offer long-lasting performance.
Aesthetic Appeal
- Composite Resin Veneers: While offering a natural look, composite resin veneers may not achieve the same level of translucency and realism as porcelain. They are ideal for minor cosmetic improvements and cost-effective solutions.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers provide a highly natural and lifelike appearance, closely resembling the translucency and texture of natural teeth. They are the preferred choice for those seeking a perfect, seamless smile.
Procedure Time
- Composite Resin Veneers: The application of composite veneers can be completed in a single visit, providing a quick and efficient solution for immediate smile enhancement.
- Porcelain Veneers: The process for porcelain veneers usually involves two visits. The first appointment includes tooth preparation and impressions, while the second appointment involves fitting and bonding the custom-made veneers.
Cost
- Composite Resin Veneers: More affordable than porcelain, composite resin veneers are a budget-friendly option. They are a great choice for those looking to improve their smile without a significant financial investment.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are typically more expensive due to the materials and lab work involved. Despite the higher cost, their durability and superior aesthetic qualities make them a worthwhile investment.
