What it is
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain bonded to the front of a tooth. It changes the shape, length and colour of the teeth that show when you smile. You see and try a mock-up of the new shape in your own mouth before anything is made.
Design and trial smile, preparation, then fitting. Usually two to four weeks start to finish.
It may suit you if
- Teeth that are worn, chipped or uneven in length
- Stains that whitening cannot lift
- Small gaps or slightly crooked teeth when you do not want aligners
- Old bonding or crowns that no longer match
How it goes
Design
Photos, a scan and a conversation about how you want to look. We show you a digital preview.
Trial smile
A temporary mock-up goes on your teeth so you can see it, talk with it and show your family.
Prepare
A thin layer of enamel is reshaped where needed, and you wear temporaries while the porcelain is made.
Fit
We check colour and fit with you before bonding, then adjust your bite.
Your questions
Will they look fake?
Not if the shape and shade are chosen for your face. That is why you see a trial smile in your own mouth before we make anything.
Do you have to shave my teeth?
Usually a little enamel is reshaped so the veneer sits flush. Sometimes very little is needed. We explain exactly what for your teeth.
How long do veneers last?
With care, many years, but no restoration lasts forever. We give you a maintenance plan and a night guard if you grind.
Talk veneers through with the dentist.
A 45 minute smile consult with the dentist. You leave with a written plan.
