CUYAHOGA FALLS, OHIO--Following Coltène’s introduction in 2011 of COMPONEER, a direct composite veneering system, 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% of dental patients requiring a larger size.

COMPONEER has received interest and acceptance in the U.S. and European markets, and dentists have recognized the practical time savings and practice-building opportunities of direct placement composite veneers when compared to indirect porcelain veneers.

New COMPONEER XL sizes are vailable in the U.S., 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 6 maxillary sizes. A new COMPONEER Contour Guide is also available to help 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 adjustable to provide dentists with customizable options to help better meet patient needs than porcelain veneers.
