Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed on the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to address a range of cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, chipping, cracking, or gaps between teeth. Veneers are made from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin, which mimic the natural look and feel of your teeth.

The Versatility of Dental Veneers
While renowned for their cosmetic prowess, veneers offer a broader spectrum of benefits. They serve as a versatile remedy, capable of addressing an array of common dental concerns. These concerns may include:
- Discolouration: Veneers effectively mask discolouration caused by factors such as stains from food, beverages, or tobacco use. This makes them a popular choice for individuals seeking a brighter, stain-resistant smile.
- Chipping and Cracking: Teeth that have suffered minor chips or cracks due to accidents or wear and tear can be seamlessly restored with veneers, re-establishing both aesthetics and functionality.
- Gaps and Alignment Issues: Veneers are also adept at correcting minor gaps between teeth and minor alignment issues. While they are not a substitute for orthodontic treatments in cases of severe misalignment, they can provide a quick and aesthetically pleasing fix for minor irregularities.

When would I need a veneer?
Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured tooth or to lighten your front teeth. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look whole again.
They can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
What are the benefits of veneers?
Veneers provide a very natural finish. If you are concerned about misshapen, chipped or discoloured teeth, veneers can offer a long- lasting cosmetic solution.
The colour of the porcelain veneer can be selected to match your existing teeth or to make them appear whiter. The porcelain finish also mimics the light-reflecting qualities of natural teeth, helping you achieve a brighter, natural -looking smile.
Porcelain veneers are also more stain resistant and durable than composite bonding, and if looked after properly, can last for many years.
Veneers offer a gentler approach to altering a tooth’s shape or colour than crowns, as only a small amount of enamel has to be removed to fit the veneer. Yet they offer similar strength and very natural looking results.
Dental veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic solution to imperfect teeth. They can match the colour of your existing teeth and look very natural.
How long do veneers typically last?
Porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or more with proper care. Composite veneers have a shorter lifespan, typically around 5-7 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can extend the longevity of your veneers.
What's the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are made from durable ceramic material, offering a natural appearance and stain resistance. Composite veneers are made from a resin material and are a more cost-effective option but may not last as long as porcelain veneers.
