Porcelain is much different than a composite (chairside) veneer. Teeth that don’t need full coverage or where only one or two teeth are involved may not need a set of multiple veneers. Instead, a tooth-colored composite material is shaped over the small flaw. But composite dental veneers are not as durable as porcelain or ceramic and they stain easier nor do they offer the lifelike coloration seen in porcelain. If you need to have several teeth covered, the advantages of porcelain veneers are far superior to composite.
