Coltène expands COMPONEER offering with new XL veneers

Following Coltène’s introduction of COMPONEER™, the first Direct Composite Veneering system in 2011, clinicians expressed interest in a larger size COMPONEER for the North American market. Large anterior tooth sizes are more prevalent in North America than in Europe, where the COMPONEER system is produced, with an estimate of 10 to 15 percent of dental patients requiring a larger size.

COMPONEER has received significant interest and acceptance in the U.S. and European markets, and dentists are quick to recognize the practical time savings and practice building opportunities of direct placement composite veneers when compared to indirect porcelain veneers. More patients have chosen a COMPONEER Smile-to-Go™ because of the natural looking appeal and significant cost savings of up to 50 percent compared to porcelain.

New COMPONEER™ XL sizes are now available in the United States, adding a fourth maxillary size to the previously introduced small, medium and large sizes. They are supplied in refill packs of two veneers in tooth sizes, including 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 – or in a complete set of all six maxillary sizes. A new COMPONEER Contour Guide is also available to make tooth size selection easy.

Despite the larger size, COMPONEER XL Direct Composite Veneers are priced the same as existing refills and sets, and are just as adjustable, providing dentists with customizable options to better meet patient needs than porcelain veneers.
