COSMETIC DENTISTRY
WHY VENEERS?
Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can improve colour, shape, size and small gaps, giving you an even, natural-looking smile.
THE PROCESS
Veneers are designed with care, and the process usually takes two or three visits.
We discuss your goals and plan the shape and shade of your new smile.
A very thin layer of enamel is usually removed so the veneers fit comfortably.
Scans or impressions are taken, and temporary veneers may be placed while yours are made.
The veneers are bonded to your teeth, and we check the fit, bite and appearance.
THE BENEFITS
Changes colour, shape and length in a few visits.
Thin, translucent shells that look like real teeth.
Porcelain resists staining from tea, coffee and food.
Usually needs less tooth removal than crowns.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
GOOD TO KNOW
Find answers to common questions about veneers.
Veneers are usually made from porcelain or from tooth-coloured composite resin. We help you choose what suits your teeth and budget.
A thin layer of enamel is usually removed, so the change is considered permanent. Your dentist keeps this to a minimum.
Most patients are comfortable. Local anaesthesia can be used if needed.
Porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or more with good care. Composite veneers may need repair or replacement sooner.
Porcelain resists staining very well. Composite can stain slightly over time, especially with tea, coffee or tobacco.
Brush and floss normally, avoid biting hard objects, and attend regular check-ups. A night guard may be advised if you grind your teeth.
