Although porcelain and composite veneers serve the same basic purpose—to cover imperfections of the teeth and provide a beautiful smile—they have a few key differences that set them apart. Composite veneers are made of a resin composite, which is a hard, durable material that can be made to match the natural appearance of teeth. Porcelain veneers, as their name suggests, are made of porcelain, a material commonly used in dentistry for its strong, resilient properties and tooth-like appearance. Porcelain veneers are typically more expensive than composite veneers as they last longer and look more natural.   To improve your smile in only a few short visits, come to NuSmile Dental & Orthodontics for dental veneers!
