Dental Veneers
Enhance the appearance of teeth with chips, gaps, discolouration, or misalignment
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are tailor-made shells crafted from either porcelain or composite resin. They are designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth and are attached to enhance the tooths appearance.
Advantages of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers offer several benefits, including:
- Aesthetic Enhancement: They can improve the appearance of teeth with discolouration, chips, gaps, or misalignment.
- Durability: Ceramic veneers are notably durable and stain-resistant, providing a long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: The veneer process is less invasive than some other cosmetic dental treatments. However, risks include tooth sensitivity, potential damage to the tooth, and the need for replacement over time.
- Customization: Each veneer is uniquely crafted to match your natural teeth’ colour, shape, and size.
Ceramic Veneers
Ceramic veneers are a popular option for improving the appearance of your smile. They are well known for their strength and natural-looking appearance. It is essential to be satisfied with their look before placement, as ceramic veneers are irreversible and cannot be whitened once applied. Risks include tooth sensitivity, potential damage to the underlying tooth, and the need for replacement over time.
While ceramic veneers are highly stain-resistant and strong, they can chip or break if not cared for properly. Risks include potential damage to the veneer or underlying tooth, increased tooth sensitivity, and the possibility of needing replacement in the future.
These veneers are meticulously crafted by skilled dental technicians at our selected dental laboratories.
We recommend ceramic veneers for significant corrections or when a long-term solution is desired.
Composite Veneers
During your visit, your dentist will create composite veneers by permanently applying a tooth-coloured material to your teeth. Composite veneers are suggested when the required correction is less extensive and a medium-term solution is adequate.
We provide two main types of composite veneers:
- Direct Composite Veneers: Typically used for one or two teeth, your dentist applies tooth-coloured dental material directly to your teeth and sculpts it to achieve the desired result. Often referred to as dental bonding, this approach is an affordable solution for issues like chips, gaps, staining, slight crookedness, and misshaped teeth.
- Injection Moulded Composite Bonding: Generally used for two or more teeth, this technique utilizes a customized mould to shape your teeth with a tooth-coloured composite. The mould is placed over the teeth, and the composite is injected into them. Most cases are completed in a single appointment, allowing you to leave with a beautiful new smile makeover.
