Veneers

At our friendly and professional dental studio, we offer you a stunning variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments.

One of the most popular types of cosmetic dentistry we provide is dental veneers for a long-lasting and beautiful smile transformation. When you opt to have dental veneers, it is essential that your needs are assessed and reviewed continually throughout the consultation and fitting process. Our dental professionals will be happy to provide you with as much information about the treatments as possible.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are attractive tooth covers, usually made from porcelain or composite material. They are shaped with laser precision and used to fill in a gap or replace the enamel of damaged or discoloured teeth. They may also be used if you wish to improve your smile even when your teeth are in good condition.

The speed in which veneers are fitted depends on the material the veneers are made from. If you opt for composite veneers, they can be moulded and fitted whilst you are visiting us. If you opt for porcelain veneers, they will need to be designed and created at our laboratory before being fitted at a future appointment.

Porcelain veneers are a hard-wearing and aesthetically pleasing option for patients looking to improve the appearance of their teeth. They are also a great way to restore teeth which may be chipped, damaged or discoloured.

How are veneers fitted?

When you come in for a consultation, we will discuss your requirements and desired results and answer any questions you may have. The dentist may take various teeth and gum measurements and x-rays, and document how your teeth look before the treatment. The photos will allow you to see your ‘before and after’ difference between your old smile and your new one.

Taking precise measurements and noting details enables us to ensure your porcelain veneers are designed to your exact specifications. Once your veneers have been created at our laboratory and returned to our dental studio, we will prepare your teeth for accurate and secure fitting.

Preparation of the teeth will involve removal of the enamel and cleaning before the veneers can be fitted and bonded. Finally, you’ll have a beautiful and confident smile.

Composite/ Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers last between 5-10 years if they are cared for properly, which means they are long-lasting in comparison to composite veneers. With continued advice, support and maintenance from our dedicated cosmetic dental team, we can help your veneers remain durable and look good for as long as possible.
