Cosmetic Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are very thin slices of porcelain, which are custom made by highly trained ceramists in dental laboratories. They can be used to improve the shape, size and colour of teeth. Our dentists have completed numerous postgraduate courses focused on cosmetic dentistry and conservative ceramic restorations, so you can be sure that you’re getting the best. We will make every effort to ensure the final veneers seamlessly blend in with the rest of the teeth and feel like your own.

WHAT CAN PORCELAIN VENEERS DO?

Porcelain veneers are often used to straighten teeth, close gaps, restore worn down teeth, repair broken teeth, change the colour of teeth and mask mild discolourations’. They can be used to restore one tooth or multiple teeth as well as for more complex smile makeover cases.

ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS STRONG?

The modern ceramics used to fabricate thin dental veneers are incredibly strong and with careful planning and maintenance, dental veneers can last many years.

WHAT IS THE CLINICAL PROCEDURE?

Like most laboratory made restorations the procedure will take at least two appointments to prepare the teeth and then fit the dental veneers. To ensure the colour match is perfect and the dental veneers fit into your mouth seamlessly – careful planning is required which may mean extra appointments for more complex cases.
