Composite Veneers
Composite Veneers: Technical Guide for Dental Professionals
What Are Composite Veneers?
Composite veneers are thin layers of tooth-colored materials. We make them to fit over teeth. They fix how teeth look. They are a big help for your patients who want nice teeth fast.
Composite veneers use Nano-hybrid dual-layer resin. This is not like the old materials. It is strong and looks real. Our lab makes them just for your clinic.
Why Choose Our Composite Veneers
Our veneers are better than others:
- Made with top materials that look like real teeth
- Fit very well – gaps less than 30μm (very small!)
- Ready fast – you get them in 7 days
- Work with all your digital tools
- Cost less than other kinds of veneers
We make these for dental clinics, dental hospitals, and other dental labs who want to give good care.
How Composite Veneers Compare to Other Options
| Type | How Long They Last | How Much Work Needed | Cost | Look |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Our Composite Veneers | 5-7 years | Less drilling | $$ | Very good |
| Ceramic Veneers | 10-15 years | More drilling | $$$$ | Best |
| Emax Veneers | 10-20 years | More drilling | $$$$ | Best |
| Direct Composite (in office) | 3-5 years | Medium | $$ | Good |
| Clip-on Veneers | 1-2 years | No drilling | $ | Poor |
Materials We Use
We use special resin that is:
- Strong – can take biting force up to 180MPa
- Nice color – matches real teeth perfectly
- Stays nice – does not change color over time
- Safe – passes all medical tests
The Nano-hybrid dual-layer gradient resin has two parts:
- Bottom layer (like tooth inside) – gives strength
- Top layer (like tooth outside) – gives shine and look

We recommend these systems:
Any total-etch adhesive
Paired with light-cure resin cement
Surface treatment: micro-etching + silane
Can you match difficult cases?
Yes! Send us photos with shade tabs. We can match even complex colors and effects.
