Veneers

Introduction

A beautiful smile can make a lasting impression, boosting both confidence and charm. For those with chipped, stained, uneven, or misaligned teeth, dental veneers offer a quick and effective way to achieve a flawless smile. Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution designed to transform your teeth and give you the radiant, natural-looking smile you’ve always wanted.

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front surface of the teeth. They are crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite materials, designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Veneers can correct a wide range of dental imperfections, making them a versatile and long-lasting solution for smile enhancement.

  • Porcelain Veneers: Durable, stain-resistant, and natural in appearance.
  • Composite Veneers: More affordable and quicker to apply but may require maintenance over time.
  • Lumineers: Ultra-thin veneers that require minimal tooth preparation.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

  • Individuals with discoloured or stained teeth resistant to whitening
  • People with chipped, broken, or worn-down teeth
  • Those with gaps or uneven spacing between teeth
  • Patients seeking a symmetrical, balanced smile
  • Anyone who wants long-lasting cosmetic enhancement

Treatment Process – Step by Step

  1. Consultation: Assessment of dental health and smile goals.
  2. Preparation: A thin layer of enamel is gently removed (for porcelain veneers).
  3. Impressions: Molds of teeth are taken to create custom veneers.
  4. Temporary Veneers: Sometimes placed while permanent ones are being made.
  5. Bonding: Veneers are securely fixed to the teeth with dental cement.
  6. Polishing: Final adjustments are made for a natural, seamless look.

⏱ The process usually takes 2–3 visits.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years, while composite veneers may last 5–7 years.

A small amount of enamel is removed, but veneers are designed to protect and strengthen teeth.

Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, while composite veneers may stain slightly and require maintenance.

The process is generally comfortable, with local anaesthesia used during preparation.

Porcelain veneers are a permanent treatment, while composite veneers may be more reversible.

Not always. Patients with gum disease, severe decay, or teeth grinding may need additional treatment before veneers.
