Transform your smile with thin porcelain veneers
Dental veneers are a simple way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells are placed over the front of your teeth to improve their shape, colour, and overall appearance. They can cover chips, stains, or small gaps, giving you a natural and confident smile. Veneers are strong, long-lasting, and designed to blend seamlessly with your teeth for a beautiful result.
It’s a real shame when people find themselves reluctant to smile because of crooked, chipped or discoloured teeth. Yet there’s a highly effective solution which may be simpler than you think.
A veneer is a new front surface for a tooth, custom made from porcelain. Veneers are very thin, specially shaped pieces of porcelain which are fixed onto the surface of the tooth using dental cement.
Veneers can be placed on a single tooth but are more often used in combination to completely transform a smile. They can be made to any shade, shape, contour, and surface character as required to achieve the best aesthetic result.
Veneers are an increasingly popular, versatile way to dramatically improve and correct the appearance of problems such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Protruding teeth
- Gaps
- Discolouration
If you think you’d benefit from this popular technique to improve the shape, position and colour of your teeth, please contact us for a complimentary consultation.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made, wafer-thin shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, colour, and size. Unlike dental crowns, which cap the whole tooth, veneers cover only the visible front surface making them a more conservative, minimally invasive option.
Porcelain Veneers vs Composite Veneers
Porcelain veneers are fabricated in a specialist dental laboratory from high-quality ceramic. Exceptionally stain-resistant and natural-looking, they typically last 10–15 years with proper care. They are the gold-standard choice for a complete smile transformation.
Composite veneers use tooth-coloured resin sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single appointment. A more affordable option for minor cosmetic changes, they generally last 4–7 years.
