This technique requires exceptional artistry and a thorough understanding of tooth anatomy. Dr. Sands has mastered the direct resin technique to deliver results that rival traditional porcelain veneers at a more accessible price point.

Direct resin veneers are ideal for patients who want to correct minor chips, gaps, or discoloration without the time or cost of porcelain. They can also serve as a preview of a future porcelain veneer treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do composite veneers last?

Composite veneers typically last 5–7 years with proper care. They may require occasional polishing or minor touch-ups over time.

Can composite veneers be whitened?

Composite resin does not respond to whitening treatments. If you're considering whitening, it's best to do so before placing composite veneers so the shade can be matched to your brightened teeth.
