Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the most effective ways to repair and enhance a tired-looking set of front top and bottom teeth. Our veneers are made with attention to detail, care, and craftsmanship.
Introducing… Veneers
- Treatment: porcelain shells placed over the top of aesthetically imperfect teeth.
- Treatment time: 2-3 appointments 2-3 weeks apart.
- Duration of results: 10+ years.
- Benefits: smile makeover (discolouration reversed + small gaps closed + symmetrical-looking teeth + width-to-tooth ratio restored).
What are Veneers?
Veneers are crafted from durable and tooth-like pieces of porcelain. The porcelain is shaped and shaded according to precise specifications unique to your teeth, mouth, and face shape.
A veneer is placed over an individual tooth using a strong dental cement. They can be used to treat individual teeth, but we can also carry out a smile makeover to treat multiple teeth using veneers.
Why get Veneers?
Porcelain is considered to be a prime material in the world of dentistry. Porcelain veneers look and feel like real teeth and capture the unique traits of tooth enamel like very few other materials.
Veneers can:
- Give you a younger-looking set of teeth.
- Cover up discolouration.
- Cover up chipped and cracked teeth.
- Reshape individual teeth.
- Be used to close minor gaps that compromise your smile symmetry and alignment.
Veneers Process
- Consultation
Your initial consultation is a chance for you to learn about veneers and how it works. We will show you previous case studies of patients who have undergone treatment with us and welcome any questions you have.
- Evaluation
One of our experienced cosmetic dentists will take digital photos of your smile, as well as X-rays and dental impressions. This diagnostic information is passed on to our talented dental technician, who creates your veneer from beautiful tooth-like porcelain.
- Preparing your teeth
A small amount of tooth enamel is removed before your veneers can be fitted. This is to ensure that your veneer is the same thickness as neighbouring teeth.
- Fitting your veneers
Once your veneers are ready, your dentist will conduct a trial fit. They will only fit your veneers once you are fully happy – any small changes can be made at this stage. Once you are happy with your porcelain veneers, they are fitted over each tooth using a strong dental cement, allowing for normal biting, chewing and speaking faculties.
