Understanding Veneers – Transforming Smiles with Precision and Aesthetics

Veneers are a remarkable dental solution that has revolutionized the field of cosmetic dentistry, offering individuals an opportunity to achieve beautiful, natural-looking smiles. Whether you’re looking to correct imperfections, enhance the appearance of your teeth, or rejuvenate your entire smile, veneers can be a game-changer.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from high-quality dental materials, typically porcelain or composite resin. Designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, these wafer-thin shells are carefully bonded to your natural teeth, instantly transforming their color, shape, size, and overall appearance.

One of the most appealing aspects of veneers is their versatility. They can address a wide range of dental concerns, including stained or discolored teeth that are unresponsive to traditional whitening methods, chipped or broken teeth, gaps between teeth, misalignment, and even worn-down enamel. With the ability to customize veneers to match your unique dental characteristics and desired outcomes, your dentist can create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the smile of your dreams.

What sets veneers apart is their ability to deliver exceptional aesthetic results while maintaining a natural look. The translucent properties of porcelain veneers mimic the light-reflecting qualities of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with your existing smile. This results in a remarkably lifelike appearance that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

What are Composite Veneers?

Composite Veneers are a cost effective, time saving option to change the shape, colour and/or position of an individual or multiple teeth. These cover the front of a tooth and are made from composite in the surgery whilst you wait.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, semi-translucent shells of porcelain that are permanently fixed to your teeth and are the most aesthetic way of dramatically enhancing your smile.

Advantages of Veneers

An “instant” method for dramatically improving your smile can be achieved with veneers. Usually you don’t need to have anesthetic. They’re also a very conservative treatment that preserves all the good structure in your teeth while transforming their appearance. Best of all they are the most natural looking restorations in dentistry!

Veneers are used to:
• Close gaps in your teeth
• Give you instantly white teeth
• Fix chipped or broken teeth
• Straighten crooked teeth

What Can I Expect?

During your first appointment, the teeth are prepared and a 3D scan of your teeth is taken. This is sent to our dental laboratory where your veneers are individually fabricated by an experienced dental technician.

We then craft some temporary veneers to your teeth using a special composite material. These temporary veneers will look identical to the teeth you walked in with. Our technicians are the best craftsmen in the dental profession and make cosmetic veneers that are so life-like they are indistinguishable from natural teeth. You can even choose how white your teeth will be.
