How they work
What Are Composite Resin Veneers?
Composite veneers work like regular veneers, but they’re made of tooth-colored resin instead of porcelain. First, your dentist layers the resin directly on the front of your teeth. Then it’s shaped and polished in the same visit. Because nothing goes to a lab, they cost less and take less time.
- Fix small chips, gaps and uneven edges
- Change the shape and size of your front teeth
- Cover stains that whitening can’t remove
- Usually little or no removal of healthy enamel

Composite vs. Porcelain Veneers
Neither is better for everyone. Composite costs less and is done in one visit. On the other hand, porcelain lasts longer and resists stains better.
| Composite veneers | Porcelain veneers (E.max) | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Tooth-colored resin | Dental porcelain |
| Visits | Usually one | Two |
| Tooth preparation | Often little or none | A thin layer of enamel |
| Stain resistance | Good, can stain over time | Very high |
| If one chips | Repaired on the spot | Usually replaced |
| Price per tooth | $200 | $548 |

Honest expectations
Composite Veneers After 3 Years
We’d rather tell you now than surprise you later. So here’s what usually happens to composite veneers over time, and how to keep them looking good.
Smooth and bright
Shaped and polished to match your face and your natural teeth.
Some loss of shine
Resin can pick up surface stains from coffee, tea or wine. A professional polish brings the shine back.
Small chips or wear
Edges can wear or chip. We repair them by adding resin, without redoing the whole veneer.
A refresh
Composite veneers are eventually redone, or replaced with porcelain if you want something longer lasting.

FAQ
Composite Veneers in Mexico: Your Questions
Not sure if composite is right for you? Send us a photo and ask.
How much do composite veneers cost in Mexico?
Composite veneers are $200 per tooth at our Tijuana clinic. For example, six front teeth are $1,200, while typical U.S. prices run $700 to $1,100 per tooth. Here’s what the most common smile designs cost.
Why are composite veneers cheaper than porcelain?
They work like a veneer, but they’re made of resin instead of porcelain. Your dentist shapes the resin directly on your teeth in one visit, so there’s no lab and no second appointment.
Can composite veneers be done in one trip?
Yes. Composite veneers are usually done in a single visit, because the resin is shaped and polished right on your teeth. How long it takes depends on how many teeth you’re treating.
What do composite veneers look like after 3 or 5 years?
With good care, many still look good after several years. Over time resin can lose some shine, pick up stains or chip at the edges. Regular polishing and small repairs keep them looking fresh, and eventually they’re redone.
Do composite veneers stain?
They can, more than porcelain. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco stain resin faster. Professional polishing at your checkups helps keep them bright.
What’s the difference between composite bonding and composite veneers?
Both use the same tooth-colored resin. Bonding fixes a small area, like a chip or a small gap, from $80 per tooth. A composite veneer covers the whole front of the tooth to change its shape and color, for $200 per tooth.
Should I whiten my teeth before getting composite veneers?
If you want a brighter shade overall, yes. Resin doesn’t whiten, so we match your veneers to your teeth after whitening.
Do composite veneers require shaving my teeth?
Often not. Composite veneers usually need little or no enamel removed, depending on the shape and position of your teeth.
Composite or porcelain veneers: which should I choose?
Composite costs less, is done in one visit and is easy to repair. Porcelain veneers last longer and resist stains better. We’ll help you choose after looking at your photos.
