Seapoint Instant Veneers for a Perfect Smile in Dublin

Instant veneers are less expensive than traditional porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory, so there is an added expense in designing and making the final veneers. Instant or composite are carried out in the dentist’s chair and are completed in one quick visit.

Some patients may only need 2-4 composite veneers to transform their smile. Others may need more. Our cosmetic dentists are experts in hand-crafting composite veneers to suit the needs of every patient. To obtain a full cost for the treatment, an initial consultation is required. At this consultation, the dentist will discuss all the options available to you, and they will outline the exact costs associated with helping you achieve your desired result….a beautiful, natural smile.

Maintaining healthy, beautiful teeth is so much easier with this advanced non-invasive treatment option.

Appearance – There is a limit to what can be done by a dentist working in the mouth to a master ceramicist working in a laboratory. The best aesthetic results are still with porcelain veneers in most cases. We recommend looking at results from both porcelain and composite to decide which works best for you.

Fracture Risk – They are made of composite which has not been strengthened with heat or intense light. They are, therefore, weaker than some alternatives. If you grind your teeth, you may want to stay away or be sure you wear a nightguard every night.

Staining – Because they are not lab-made, they are always more prone to staining. If you are a smoker or have a high-staining diet, you may struggle with these.

Durability – Typically, these last well for 3-5 years, depending on the patient. They will likely need more maintenance after this period and may need partial or complete replacement.

Cleaning – They can be harder to clean around because they are hand-crafted in the mouth.

Long Appointment – It can be a few hours in the dental chair.

The number of veneers needed varies by patient and depends on your smile goals. Some patients achieve their desired results with just 2-4 veneers, while others may need more for a complete smile transformation. It is worth taking photos from the side of your smile too when considering how many are needed. Often we don’t see what others can see.

With proper care and maintenance, instant veneers typically last 3-5 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene help maintain their appearance and longevity.
