Want to transform the appearance of your smile? If so, dental veneers may be the ideal solution for you

Are you concerned about…?

The benefits of veneers:

Customised to you

Custom-designed veneers can mask the appearance of aesthetic concerns whilst potentially crafting the beautiful proportions of your ideal smile. Each porcelain slip is custom designed and made to suit the unique proportions of your smile.

Natural appearance

Colour-matched to the exact shade and translucency of your natural tooth enamel, these incredibly strong and incredibly slim veneers are bonded to the visible surfaces of your teeth to create natural-looking beautiful results.

Strong and enduring

With good care these stain resistant veneers should last for more than a decade. The make-up of the porcelain used to make the veneers allow for strong resistance to staining and chipping, meaning that you can retain the shape and colour of your veneers for many years.

Before getting dental veneers

Before getting dental veneers your dentist will identify if you are a suitable candidate for veneers. During your initial consultation we will assess your dental condition and discuss with you the options that exist to treat your particular cosmetic dental concerns.
Once we have identified that veneers would be a suitable option for you we will tailor a treatment plan to address your particular dental concerns. This may also involve an x-ray as well as taking impressions of your teeth to custom make your veneer. Once the measurements have been taken we can begin to create your veneer.

What not to eat with temporary veneers

If you have temporary veneers fitted on your teeth, you will need to be extra-cautious about the foods you choose to eat.
