Veneers

Veneers

They are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-coloured materials, usually porcelain or composite resin, designed to cover the front surface of teeth.

What are veneers?

Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials (like porcelain or composite resin) designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are made to fit over the teeth perfectly, improving the appearance of your smile by altering the colour, shape, size, or length of the teeth.

What are the benefits of veneers?

• Aesthetic improvement: Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your teeth, leading to a brighter, more uniform smile. Porcelain offers a translucent quality that closely mimics natural tooth enamel.
• Customisation: They are tailored to suit your facial features and aesthetic preferences.
• Durability: Porcelain veneers, in particular, are known for their strength and longevity.
• Stain resistance: Porcelain veneers resist stains better than natural tooth enamel.
• Minimal enamel removal: Veneers typically require less removal of tooth enamel compared to crowns.

What steps are involved in having veneers?

• Consultation and planning: We discuss your goals and design a treatment plan.
• Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to prepare for veneer placement.
• Impressions/digital scans: We take an impression or perform a digital scan of your teeth to create your custom veneers.
• Temporary veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are being made.
• Bonding: Once ready, the veneers are bonded to your teeth, and any final adjustments are made.

Veneers can be a life-changing choice, offering a long-lasting and impactful way to enhance your smile. Our team is committed to crafting veneers that not only improve your smile aesthetically but also complement your overall facial symmetry and character.
