Dental veneers, made from porcelain or composite resin, are customised thin shells that improve the front surface of teeth, addressing issues like discolouration, misalignment, or chipping. They require minimal tooth enamel removal during application for a precise fit. Veneers provide a durable, stain-resistant solution with a natural appearance. Whether seeking a brighter, more even smile or correcting specific imperfections, dental veneers offer a transformative option, helping individuals achieve confidence and an appealing dental appearance.
What Are The Two Kinds of Dental Veneers?
What Are The Two Kinds of Dental Veneers?
- Porcelain Veneers: These durable, lifelike teeth are meticulously crafted to replicate natural teeth by expert technicians in a dental laboratory. Typically, they are installed over two or three appointments and involve minimal preparation of your existing teeth, such as removing a small amount of enamel to securely bond the veneers to your teeth.
- Composite veneers: Applied in a single visit, layers of resin are directly applied to the tooth to conceal damaged enamel. The resin is skillfully sculpted to match the natural shape and size of teeth. Composite veneers are ideal for addressing stained or slightly damaged teeth, including chips or cracks.
Designing Your Beautiful Veneers
Designing Your Beautiful Veneers
We carefully plan and engage in extensive discussions to fully understand our patients’ expectations. We collaborate closely with our dental technicians who craft the veneers according to the approved smile design.
Our patients have the opportunity to preview and approve the appearance of the veneers before any irreversible treatment begins. We use wax-ups on tooth models, which are then transferred into the mouth with a temporary mock-up material. This process enables us, and importantly the patient, to assess the ideal size, shape, and positioning needed. It also allows us to evaluate the bite and ensure the final veneers require minimal adjustments.

FAQs
1. Who can get dental veneers?
Veneers offer a superb choice for individuals with discoloured, misaligned, or chipped teeth. Suitable candidates maintain excellent oral health and possess adequate enamel for optimal veneer placement. A dental consultation is crucial to evaluate your eligibility, considering your unique dental situation and cosmetic objectives. Veneers offer versatility in achieving a confident, natural smile appearance.
2. Are dental veneers different from dental crowns?
Veneers and crowns are distinct dental procedures. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to enhance their appearance, while crowns encase the entire tooth, providing both structural support and cosmetic improvement. These treatments address different dental needs: veneers concentrate on enhancing aesthetics, whereas crowns offer both functional and aesthetic benefits for teeth that are damaged or weakened.
3. How long do dental veneers last?
The lifespan of dental veneers typically ranges from 5 to 15 years, influenced by the veneer material and your oral care practices. Consistent oral hygiene habits such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits can prolong their durability. It’s crucial to avoid habits like biting hard objects, teeth grinding, and consuming foods and drinks that stain teeth. With diligent care, veneers can sometimes endure beyond 15 years.
4. How much do dental veneers cost?
Please consult our Fees page for detailed pricing information. The cost of dental veneers varies depending on the type chosen, with porcelain veneers typically being more expensive than composite resin veneers. For an accurate estimate tailored to your specific requirements, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our dentist.
