Dental Veneers

Smile makeover with dental veneers

A veneer is a wafer-thin, custom-made tooth-coloured cover which is bonded to the front of the tooth. They offer an excellent improvement in teeth colour, shape, or size.

Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from a resin composite. Porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining and offer better cosmetic results as they have light-reflecting properties similar to natural teeth. You will discuss the best choice of veneer material with your dentist.

Dental veneers are a form of art which enables a makeover of your smile by changing tooth colour, shape, or position whilst creating a natural-looking appearance at the same time.

Are dental veneers safe for my teeth?

Veneers offer a smile makeover in a minimally invasive process. Usually, very little tooth surface is taken away and, in many cases, none at all.

How long with a dental veneer last?

It is difficult to give an exact life span for veneers. They can chip or crack just as your natural teeth. Proper care should be taken as with your own teeth. They are not designed for nail-biting or opening bags or bottles!

Do dental veneers require special care?

Generally, dental veneers do not require different care than what you give to your own teeth. Following good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing and regularly attending your dental appointments are sufficient measures.
