What Are the Different Types of Veneers?

Hi, Dr. Anand here from Warragul Dental Care.

If you’ve been toying with the idea of veneers, you might be wondering what your options are and which one best suits your smile.

It really comes down to the outcome you’re after. For those looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking, and durable solution, ceramic (porcelain) veneers are the way to go. They’re strong, stain-resistant, and closely mimic your natural teeth in both feel and appearance. With the right care, they can last for decades – making them a smart, long-term investment in your smile.

On the flip side, there are resin veneers. They offer a more affordable and quicker solution. However, resin veneers do come with a few trade-offs: they can lose their shine over time, stain more easily, and are a bit more prone to chipping or breaking. Think of them as a short-term fix compared to the lasting quality of ceramic veneers.
