What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?

Both porcelain and composite veneers are cosmetic dental treatments that correct the shape and color of teeth to create an attractive and beautiful smile. Composite veneers are thin layers of the latest generation of composites that cover the front surface of the teeth, made by direct technique in a single session. Porcelain veneers are made using the indirect technique and consist of replacing the external surface of the tooth with a thin layer of porcelain. They are biocompatible and maintain their color and brightness over time.
