A metal composite veneer is a type of dental veneer that is made of a combination of metal and composite resin. It is typically used to restore damaged or decayed teeth, and can also be used to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. Compared to other types of veneers, metal composite veneers are typically more affordable and can be completed in a single dental visit.

To apply a metal composite veneer, the dentist will first prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneer. They will then take a mold or impression of the tooth and use it to create a custom veneer. The veneer will be bonded to the tooth using a dental adhesive and then shaped and polished to create a natural-looking result.

The lifespan of a metal composite veneer can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits and the location of the veneer. With proper care and maintenance, however, metal composite veneers can last for several years before needing to be replaced.

Metal composite veneers offer several benefits, including affordability, durability, and the ability to be completed in a single dental visit. They are also less invasive than other types of veneers, as they require less preparation of the tooth surface. Additionally, metal composite veneers are resistant to staining and can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth, resulting in a natural-looking smile.
