Ive had composite veneers on my front top teeth for atleast 5 years, just this year started to discolour & stain bad. I got them replaced with new composite veneers all 6x for less than $1K w dental insurance. And it took 2 hours and i was out of the dentist. I am also a smoker so 5 years is pretty good. As for maintaining them - use a soft brush and sensodyne as toothpaste because its non abrasive. Dont use whitening toothpaste. And floss with water not with strings. Dont eat hard foods and dont use them to bite off food. They will last longer.
I’m having this done now after Invisalign. I’m considering composite on the bottom front teeth which don’t show very much and porcelain on the top front strictly for cost savings. Still working that out so I appreciate this information.
I'm having composites on Thursday, 6 front top teeth. I'm pretty excited. I think it's a good first step for me, and I will try to take care of them well. With how cheap they are for me, I know I'll be able to afford to have the odd problem fixed over time, or indeed, have them all redone completely if necessary. If I suddenly find myself in a more financially secure situation, I can then go on and think about porcelain. For now, composite is all I can have, so wish me luck on Thursday :D
Oh, question... are there any types of toothpaste you WOULD recommend to prolong the appearance? I've had gum disease and I've been using Corsodyl toothpaste, but I'd rather move to one that helps keep the composites white with minimal abrasion?
Thank you, Dr. Gurs. A very good and clear explanation for the difference between composite vs porcelain veneers. My future suggestion topic if I may is that can people in their 80's still have implants done on them? Thanks
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Coen Giovanni Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you for this very helpful and easy to understand video which has helped me to understand the process a lot more than my dentist! He's all about 🤑
Which one would you recommend for some gum recession over a perfectly good tooth in order to protect the area from more recession? The composite or porcelain? Direct or indirect? Thank you 🙏🏻
I watched my dentist to fix my insides are next to the front I choose just to you know when you over brush and it was basically a little shorter than the front porch so that was made for me and the dentist didn’t do anything about it at the time he just did not hear me or agreed not to hear me and then when he did the truth he did a half assed job absolutely not satisfied. Composite used.. She did she does have a habit of not listening to what I want and the problem is he is my first cousin that shouldn’t be an issue but I’ve got a discount but that shouldn’t make it any better or worse you got a listen man sorry been a little casual there
Your prices are so expensive £450 for 1 composite. Its a shame you only do work for the rich. It would be a blessing for normal ppl to be able to receive your services.
I'm having composites on Thursday at £90 / tooth, just a light covering of front top teeth. We live in a small South Yorkshire mining community, and the dentist is great, but they have to charge according to what their customers can afford, so in that respect, we are quite lucky. I imagine (having worked in the field of medical products for many years) that there is a wide variety of composite products out there, and I imagine there are some price differentials - I'm under no illusion that I'm getting the cheapest of the cheap, and I'm ok with that :D
Im confused at the end where you say porcelain veneers are usually done by experts who know what they’re doing and you have a high attention to detail, and in the same breath you move on to say that anyone can do porcelain veneers and can screw them up. Can you please clarify what you mean?

Thanks, this video has helped me a lot. Im considering composites but can you please explain the difference between direct and indirect?
Composite are direct, as they are done in one sitting, indirect are made at a lab, then cemented in( porcelain veneers)
can I use a flowable comp. in cementing a porcelain veneer?
nice explanation by the way dr
Was that video example veneer or crowns?
1:13
Porcelain veneers.

This is a big problem, is dentists have a habit of assuming that we know the answer without fully understanding the problem... We need to listen more!

No

@@catsandcrafts171 £90 is reasonable to do the work but when dentist charge £450 per tooth on composite, ppl would be disappointed.
Can totally remove composite veneer on the teeth after maybe 3-5yrs later?
As long as the teeth under the veneers are not damaged, then in theory you can. Hopefully you wouldnt need to
Sir I have done my composite filling 3 months before bt Iam not comfortable with that can I remove it now and have my original teeth
Did u ever got a answer to this question. I would really like to know. If you can remove it and wear your natural teeth.
