Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@tdsm.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can veneers be whitened?

No, veneers are not susceptible to whitening. If you are considering whitening your natural teeth, it’s best to do so before getting veneers to ensure a uniform color.

How long do composite veneers last?

Composite veneers generally last between 5 to 7 years. They are less durable than porcelain veneers but can be easily repaired or replaced if necessary. Keep in mind that longevity is dependent on the way they are being used so avoid opening packets or biting hard foods with your composite veneers.

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonding generally lasts between 3 to 7 years, with its durability varying based on its location, size, and maintenance. Compared to composite and porcelain veneers, composite bonding is the least durable option. The longevity of composite bonding is significantly influenced by these factors and the level of care it receives.
