With the new generation of composites, it’s possible to build beautiful veneers and restorations that blend invisibly with the natural teeth. Composites allow for the maximum artistic expression on the part of the dentist and are a perfect way to develop excellent color matching and smile design. A well-designed composite veneer can rival its porcelain counterpart in esthetics and longevity. Patients often prefer composites because tooth reduction can be minimized for a composite restoration. Composites are fast; patients love the same day service, and when used in the right place composites can be quite durable.

There are many factors used to provide the proper restoration of teeth with dental composites. They include the following:

Smile Design
Tooth Color
Tooth Shape
Position of Teeth
Esthetics
Composite Selection
Tooth Preparation
Bonding Techniques
Composite Placement Techniques
Composite Sculpture
Composite Polishing
