Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. They are usually fitted to the front upper and lower teeth and are made from ceramic, porcelain or composite for an aesthetic look. Veneers can conceal imperfections such as discolouration, an irregular shape, damage and small gaps. Whether you have a single veneer or a whole arch, you can expect a dramatic smile transformation.

We’ll first need to see you for a consultation so we can make sure your teeth and gums are perfectly healthy. We then take impressions so we can create models of your teeth. These models are used for a ‘wax-up’ where we show you a preview of how veneers can transform the appearance of your teeth.
Once you’re happy with the look that we’ve come up with together, we will prepare your teeth if you need to have a layer of enamel removed. We’ll provide temporary veneers to keep your teeth protected.
Your veneers are crafted at the dental laboratory using the models of your teeth. When we receive your veneers, we’ll see you again for your fitting. We make sure the look is exactly what you expected before we fix the veneers using a dental adhesive.

After fitting, it is important to keep your veneer well-maintained with regular brushing and flossing. Your dentist and hygienist will show you how to keep on top of your dental hygiene and keep a close eye on the health of your teeth and gums.
Although veneers are resilient, it is important to treat them with care, so try not to bite your fingernails or chew pen tops or use your teeth to open anything. Also, it is probably best to steer clear of very hard foods that could cause damage to the veneer.
In many cases, fitting porcelain veneers requires a thin layer of your natural tooth enamel to be removed. This is an irreversible process, so veneers are designed to be permanently kept on your teeth. If your veneers are made from composite material, they are not seen as permanent, as they can be removed and your teeth returned to as they were before.
Porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years before needing to be replaced, depending on how well you look after them.
We can use local anaesthetic during the preparation and fitting of your veneers to minimise any discomfort. You shouldn’t find the treatment painful. Once they are on your teeth, your veneers will feel comfortable and over time will simply feel like part of your natural tooth.
