Porcelain veneers vs composite resin: why we work with porcelain

Quick answer: porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining, keep their shine and tend to last longer than composite resin. Composite is usually cheaper and quicker, but needs more maintenance. Odontoclinic Vila Mariana works with porcelain veneers.

Composite resin

• Applied directly on the tooth.
• Lower initial cost.
• Can stain and lose shine over time.
• Needs more frequent repairs.

Porcelain

• Made in the lab.
• Stable color and natural shine.
• Greater durability.
• Higher initial investment.

Which is right for me?

The choice depends on your teeth, bite and goals. Habits such as grinding (bruxism) also influence the plan.
