Dental Veneers

We care about maximum quality and offer the latest in dental veneers to give you a smile that is like new again.

What are dental veneers

Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates are wafer-thin shells made from either porcelain or a resin composite. They are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve the appearance of tooth shape, colour, size, and alignment.

When are dental veneers used?

Dental veneers can assist in creating a straight, symmetrical, white smile and are an ideal solution for people wanting to improve the appearance of:

  •  teeth that are discoloured due to root canal treatment, stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride, or the presence of large resin fillings
  •  worn down teeth
  •  chipped or broken teeth
  •  misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
  •  teeth with unwanted gaps between them

What are the benefits of dental veneers?

Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers offer cosmetic benefits to people wanting to improve the appearance of their teeth. They

  • offer dynamic colour variation and translucency that mimics the appearance of tooth enamel to create a natural-looking smile.
  • are made of biocompatible material that gum tissue usually tolerates well.
  • require minimal tooth shaping during the preparation procedure; approximately half a millimetre of enamel from the front of the tooth is removed.
  • the fitting procedure is generally painless and often does not require anaesthetic.
  • are stain-resistant.
  • do not require a separate or special cleaning routine.
  • can last up to 15 years, depending on the type of veneer selected and how well the veneers are maintained.
  • are often less expensive than other dental solutions for improving the appearance of teeth, such as dental crowns.

Resin Veneers

Resin veneers offer a large improvement to shade , with modern resins coming very close to mimicking the appearance of tooth enamel and still creating a natural looking smile. Benefits include :

  • are made of biocompatible material that gum tissue usually tolerates well.
  • resin veneers are very conservative, usually requiring minimal or no tooth removed.
  • the whole process is completed in a single visit.
  • do not require a separate or special cleaning routine.
  • can last up to 10 years.
  • are less expensive than porcelain veneers or crowns.

Considerations

Special consideration needs to be given to those who clench and grind their teeth. The type of veneer needs to be carefully selected to ensure the best possible outcome and longevity.
