What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain coverings, similar to false fingernails. They are made from the same strong porcelains used to make all-porcelain crowns, and are bonded to natural tooth tissue. Veneers can be used to disguise the original colour, shade or shape of your teeth, or to close gaps between the teeth. Your smile can be quickly, comfortably, and beautifully transformed!
Before a tooth can be veneered, a small amount of enamel has to be removed from the front of the tooth to provide space for the porcelain. An impression of the tooth is sent to a dental laboratory where the veneer is made to match the colour and shape of your teeth. The veneer is bonded into place using composite resin cement after roughening the tooth surface with a mild etching solution.

FAQs
Veneers offer a multitude of benefits, primarily centred around enhancing your smile’s aesthetics. They can effectively conceal a range of imperfections, such as discoloration, chips, cracks, and minor misalignments, giving you a picture-perfect smile.
The process of getting veneers typically involves a few appointments with your dentist. Initially, you’ll have a consultation to discuss your goals and determine if veneers are suitable for you. If you proceed, your teeth will be prepared, impressions taken, and temporary veneers placed. Once your custom veneers are fabricated, you’ll return for the final fitting and bonding.
In many cases, fitting porcelain veneers requires some of your natural tooth enamel to be removed. Therefore, they are an irreversible treatment, designed to be kept on your teeth permanently. Your veneers themselves can last up to 15 years before needing to be replaced, depending on how well you look after them.
Veneers can indeed be a solution for closing gaps between teeth, provided the gaps are not excessively large. Your dentist will assess your specific situation to determine if veneers are the most appropriate treatment option.

Modern dental veneers are designed to look incredibly natural. They are crafted from high-quality materials that mimic the light-reflecting properties of real teeth, ensuring a seamless and beautiful smile.
The most significant difference between composite and porcelain veneers lies in the materials they are made from. Composite veneers are crafted from a tooth-coloured resin, similar to what’s used in dental fillings. They are typically applied and sculpted directly onto your teeth in a single visit. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are made from a high-quality ceramic material that is fabricated in a dental laboratory. This material is more durable and closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.
While both types of veneers can improve the appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers are generally considered the more premium option due to their longevity, stain resistance, and natural look. Composite veneers are often a more budget-friendly choice, but they may not last as long and are more prone to staining.
