The composite is applied directly to the front surface of the teeth and moulded to the required shape and size before being set and bonded to the teeth. The veneers are then finely shaped and polished to achieve the desired appearance. It is relatively straightforward to reshape composite veneers either by adding or removing composite, either at the initial appointment or any follow-up appointments if desired.
The procedure can be completed in a single visit and requires very little to no reduction or drilling of the tooth, making it minimally invasive and ensuring that the natural teeth are unaffected.
In terms of the material, they are both the same. However, composite veneers cover the entire surface of the tooth, whilst composite bonding normally covers part of the tooth.
Composite veneers are usually placed in one appointment, making it a noticeably quicker treatment than porcelain veneers, which have to be custom-made in a lab.
Arguably the biggest advantage that composite veneers have over porcelain is reversibility. Porcelain requires reshaping of your natural teeth in order to fit the veneer. When it comes to composites, minimal prep work is required on your natural teeth, meaning that they are not permanently altered to such an extent that the composite material cannot be removed and replaced as needed.
The only way to determine whether a composite or porcelain veneer solution is right for you is to speak with the team here at Cheadle Hulme Dental and Cosmetics and Cosmetic about your aesthetic goals and to weigh your personal considerations. If you’re looking for the most cost-effective solution, then composite veneers could be the treatment for you. However, if you have a severe aesthetic concern or you’re looking for the most durable treatment solution, then porcelain veneers may be worth considering.
Cosmetic bonding is a completely safe treatment as long as a well-qualified and competent dentist performs it. Composite veneers are unsuitable for large dental cavities, but other than that, the risks are very few. If you have any concerns, then our friendly and professional team will be happy to discuss them with you.
Cosmetic veneers are able to fill and shape teeth in a single visit and are minimally invasive. The results are natural; you can expect a tooth-coloured restoration that no one will notice isn’t a real tooth. Composite veneers generally 4-7 years, though habits such as smoking and poor oral hygiene can reduce their durability.

An amazing dental practice that I have been a customer of for around 14 years. The dental practice is lovely and super modern. The reception team are always welcoming. Our dentist Mo is very nice and caring, putting my daughter and I at ease. I look forward to visiting again and recommend this practice to all. Thank you team!

I joined Cheadle Hulme dental practice after hearing amazing reviews. I had a wisdom tooth removed today and I was nervous going in. Ben and his team were brilliant, they calmed me down, told me how the procedure would work. They were patient, and used their very high tech equipment to show me exactly what they were seeing.
I was really impressed with the full set up. Aside from the tooth removal, the receptionists were helpful, professional and very friendly.
I'll definitely be staying on as a client. Highly recommend!
