Cosmetic Veneers

Porcelain veneers (also referred to as ceramic veneers) are thin layers of porcelain that are fixed permanently to a tooth to improve the aesthetics of your smile.

It is done by permanently fixing these veneers to your teeth, they can improve the shape, colour and positioning of your teeth and ultimately improve the appearance of your smile.

They are colour matched to ensure they don’t look out of place with the rest of your teeth and are added with minimal difficulty.

They are used primarily for the visible front-facing teeth but can be added to rear teeth when necessary.
Is ceramic veneer an option for you?
Essentially, they are suitable for anybody who wants to improve their smile. We typically see people who have stained or darkened teeth or who have small gaps in between their teeth.
If you are looking to improve your smile then porcelain veneers could be a great option for you!

The initial consultation will involve a conversation about what kind of smile you want to achieve.

We will also examine your teeth, discuss your suitability, talk you through the process and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Once complete, your dentist will take a mould of your mouth to ensure the correct shape and colour of the dental veneer. To make the process more efficient – the dentist may take pictures of your teeth to give the dental technician a better idea of how to recreate your smile effectively.
Once the planning and preparation have been done, the process of actually fitting the veneers is quite quick.

One visit is required to prepare the teeth and take impressions and one visit is required to cement the veneers permanently.
If necessary, a temporary veneer will be created to help protect the tooth until a permanent one can be created. However, this is usually only required if the tooth is badly damaged or in a poor state.
