If so, Teeth Veneers are a good treatment option to consider because they look like natural teeth and don’t require a major procedure. Teeth Veneers can improve the colour and function of teeth, as well as act as a layer of protection.
A veneer is a very thin, tooth-coloured piece of porcelain (like a false fingernail) that is bonded on top of your own tooth. Based on your needs, we can adjust the shape of your veneers to make your teeth overall look longer and or closer together. You can have just one veneer or a whole set, known as a smile makeover.
For a single stained tooth, we can also match the precise shade of porcelain to give it a lighter appearance and fit in with the surrounding teeth. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps when braces are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
We are specialists in cosmetic dentistry and have provided dozens of satisfied patients with great results.
Veneers can last anywhere between 7 to 20 years, depending on the health of your natural teeth and surrounding gums. For example, receding gums may reveal the root surfaces. If a veneer comes off or chips, it can be rebonded or replaced.
No, porcelain veneers do not stain. However, some foods and drinks may cause discolouring over a period of time:
We recommend avoiding any foods or drinks which are harmful to your teeth and gums.
Generally, the treatment for teeth veneers does not cause pain. However, to prepare your teeth before adding the veneers there may be some preparation required. We provide local anaesthesia in such circumstances, and we also offer IV Sedation for nervous patients.
