Porcelain Veneers

Representing the forefront of cosmetic dental treatments, Veneers are thin, tooth coloured shells, which are expertly and innovatively designed, crafted and then bonded to cover the front of the teeth. Veneers can be used to correct cracked, mild crowding, gapped, discoloured, small or chipped teeth. Moreover, as their colour can be tailored to suit your natural teeth and what you want veneers can also make your smile brighter and whiter.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are implemented throughout three visits. Firstly, the teeth are prepared through shaving a small layer (0.33mm) to create room for the veneers and an impression is taken so a cast can be developed. Temporary ‘mock-up’ veneers are then created to the proposed size and shape of the final veneers so you can ‘trial’ them.

At the second visit, a few days later, the temporary veneers are reviewed for appearance, phonetics and function. Adjustments are made if necessary; and then an impression is taken of the temporaries for the laboratory to copy in the fabrication of the final veneers.

Finally, the veneers are permanently bonded to the prepared teeth so you walk out with bright, new, revitalised smile that exceeds even your expectations In many cases, another impression will be taken to construct a night splint to protect the veneers from night –time grinding habits (bruxism).

Veneers are a more conservative alternative to full crowns as only a small amount of enamel has to be removed in preparation (opposed to the whole tooth). With effective oral hygiene and regular maintenance appointments veneers can last 10-15 years.
