Composite Veneers in Korea, Seoul
Composite veneers are tooth-colored resin layers artistically sculpted on the tooth surface to improve color, shape, and symmetry—often in a single visit. They’re budget-friendly, conservative, and reversible-leaning compared with porcelain.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
- Mild discoloration, chipped edges, small gaps
- Slight asymmetry or uneven tooth lengths
- You want same-day results with a lower cost than porcelain
- Healthy gums, good oral hygiene, realistic expectations
For darker teeth, heavy wear, or bigger rotations, porcelain/ultra-thin veneers or clear aligners may be recommended.
Composite vs. Porcelain Veneers (Quick Compare)
- Prep: Composite is usually no-prep or micro-prep; porcelain may need more shaping
- Speed: Composite can be same day; porcelain typically 7–14 days (lab work)
- Aesthetics: Porcelain offers the most lifelike translucency; composite is very good but slightly less glass-like
- Durability: Porcelain 10–15+ yrs; composite 3–7 yrs (depends on care)
- Maintenance: Composite may need polish/repairs over time; porcelain is more stain-resistant
- Cost: Composite is significantly cheaper per tooth

FAQs
- Will my teeth be shaved?
Usually no—composite is additive and conservative; minor micro-prep may be used for adhesion/shape. - Do composites stain?
More than porcelain, less than natural enamel when maintained. Regular hygiene and periodic polishing keep them bright. - Can I switch to porcelain later?
Yes. Composite is a great trial smile; you can convert to porcelain in the future. - How many teeth should I treat?
Depends on your smile display—often 2–8 front teeth for symmetry. - Same-day possible?
Yes—many cases finish in one visit, depending on the number of teeth and complexity.
