Dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry solutions for achieving a flawless smile. But when patients in Bangalore consider veneers, the most common question is: Should I choose porcelain (E. max) veneers vs composite veneers?

This guide compares cost, durability, aesthetics, and maintenance so you can make an informed choice at Dental Sanctuary, Indiranagar.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Thin shells applied to the front of teeth.
Improve shape, color, size, and alignment.
Two main types: Porcelain (E.max) and Composite veneers.

Made of lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max).
Known for superior aesthetics, translucency, and durability.
Resist stains and mimic natural enamel.
Lifespan: 10–15 years with proper care.
Cost in Bangalore: ₹10,000 – ₹20,000 per tooth.

Best for: Patients seeking long-lasting, natural-looking, premium results.

Composite Veneers

Made from tooth-colored resin.
Can be applied in a single visit.
More affordable but less durable.
Lifespan: 4–7 years.
Cost in Bangalore: ₹5,000 – ₹8,000 per tooth.

Best for: Patients looking for budget-friendly, quick cosmetic fixes.
