🤍 COMPOSITE VENEER RENEWAL 🤍
Composite is a fantastic, less-invasive way to enhance a smile… but like all materials, it does have a lifespan. Unlike ceramic or porcelain options, composite can gradually pick up staining, lose its shine and, over the years, show small chips or wear marks, especially if the patient has a strong bite or loves food and drinks that stain.
This wonderful patient came to see me after a few years of enjoying her original bonding. Her brief was simple: “as white as can be.” 🤍
We kept her natural tooth anatomy and line angles similar, slightly widened the smile to improve balance, and refreshed all of the bonding to bring back that bright, healthy gloss. I think we absolutely nailed the brief!
Just in time for Christmas, a happy patient with a glowing new smile and a very happy dentist. ✨
🦷 Why Composite Bonding Sometimes Needs Renewed:
• Composite is softer than porcelain, so it naturally wears over time
• It can stain from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking
• Small chips can occur, especially if you clench or grind
• Polishing only goes so far once the surface texture changes
The good news? Renewal is quick, conservative and gives the smile a brand-new lease of life.
Do you have older composite bonding that’s looking tired?
It might be time for a refresh and the results can be transformational.
