Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the tooth to improve the appearance. They are commonly used to correct issues such as discolouration, chips, gaps, or uneven teeth, creating a natural-looking, long-lasting smile.
The process typically involves two appointments: the first to prepare the teeth and take impressions, and the second to fit and bond the veneers.
With proper care, veneers can last up to 10 years or even longer, making them a popular choice for long-term cosmetic enhancement.

To keep your veneers in good condition, maintain a regular routine of brushing and flossing. Your dentist and hygienist will guide you on proper oral care and help monitor the health of your teeth and gums during check-ups.
Veneers can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including chipped or broken teeth, gaps between teeth, discolouration, minor misalignment, and worn or uneven teeth.
The process has two main steps. First, the tooth is gently prepared by removing a small amount of enamel, usually with local anaesthetic. A mould is then taken and sent to a lab where your custom veneers are made. Once they’re ready, your dentist will fit them using dental cement, make any final adjustments, and check that you’re happy with your new smile.
Yes, veneers are designed to look very natural. They are custom-made to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth, giving you a seamless, natural-looking smile.
While veneers are strong, they still need to be treated with care. Avoid biting your nails, chewing on pens, or using your teeth to open packaging. It’s also a good idea to stay away from very hard foods that could chip or damage the veneer.
