Composite veneers using the injection technique–a smile shaped with precision and care

The injection technique for composite veneers represents a modern, minimally invasive method for achieving a perfect smile without tooth preparation. This approach allows the creation of veneers from high-quality composite material with maximum control over shape, color, and shine – all according to a digital smile design.

The result is natural, aesthetic, and harmonious teeth that perfectly complement your face. An ideal solution for patients who want a quick, safe, and affordable aesthetic smile transformation.

What are composite veneers using the injection technique?

Composite veneers made with the injection technique (injectable composite veneers) represent a contemporary method of correcting the shape and appearance of teeth without drilling or with only minimal intervention on the tooth surface. Instead of manually shaping the composite directly on the tooth, the material is applied through a precisely made silicone matrix.

In this way, it is possible to transfer the pre-planned shape and proportions of the teeth from the digital model directly into the patient’s mouth — quickly, precisely, and predictably.

Advantages of the injection technique

Minimally invasive – tooth structure is not ground down, preserving the natural enamel.
Aesthetic precision – every detail, from color to shape, is planned in advance.
Fast procedure – often completed in just one or two visits.
Affordable option – compared to ceramic veneers, this is a more cost-effective alternative with excellent aesthetic results.
Reversible – in most cases, the procedure can be reversed without permanent damage to the teeth.

When are composite veneers recommended?

This technique is ideal for patients who wish to:

  • improve the shape, size, or color of their teeth,
  • close gaps between teeth,
  • correct minor misalignments,
  • restore worn or damaged teeth,
  • treat fractured teeth,
  • improve conical lateral incisors,
  • address microdontia (small teeth).

A brief overview of the veneer fabrication process

During the first appointment, a detailed examination is performed, and anatomical impressions are taken. The tooth color is determined before veneer fabrication – ideally after teeth whitening to achieve the most effective result. In the laboratory, the dental technician creates a digital wax-up model showing the appearance of the future veneers. Using a mock-up, this model is accurately transferred into the patient’s mouth, allowing the patient to see how the veneers will look on their teeth. This is a temporary phase that can be adjusted according to the patient’s preferences.

Once the patient is completely satisfied, the process continues with the fabrication of a final transparent template through which high-quality composite material is applied to the teeth using an adhesive technique. The teeth are not drilled; only the adhesive bonding technique is used to attach the composite to the enamel surface.

After the veneers are completed, any excess composite is removed, and the veneers are polished to a final shine.

To maintain their longevity, it is recommended to visit the dentist once a year for a check-up and professional polishing of the veneers.

A natural look and a smile with character

Thanks to advancements in composite materials, today’s veneers offer excellent translucency and shine, ensuring a natural and aesthetic result that blends seamlessly with your smile. The injection technique combines the precision of digital planning and the artistry of aesthetic dentistry, giving your smile harmony, symmetry, and freshness.
