Dental veneers

Veneers are a fast, effective and long-lasting treatment to enhance your smile.

What are veneers?

Dental veneers are micro-thin porcelain shells that are bonded over the front surface of visible teeth. Veneers are custom-made to the shape of your teeth and matched for colour to give you a natural-looking smile.

What are the advantages of veneers?

Veneers are an instant and versatile treatment to transform your smile:

• cover discolouration or staining
• correct small gaps between teeth
• improve the shape of irregular teeth
• cover minor chips or cracking

What is the treatment for veneers?

Dental veneer treatment generally does not require anaesthesia. Your dentist will first regularise the surface of your teeth. Dental impressions will then be taken from which the veneer will be custom-made.

On your second visit when your veneers are ready, your dentist will check their form and visual appearance.  The veneers will then be bonded into place. Your dentist may polish the veneers to achieve an optimal appearance.

How long do veneers last?

Dental veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic treatment – up to 10 years or more with regular care. Your dentist will advise you on how to look after your veneers after your treatment.
