What are Dental Porcelain veneers?
Dental porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They may be used to change the colour, shape or size of teeth affected by chips, stains, gaps or uneven shapes. Treatment generally involves preparing the tooth surface, and the amount of enamel removed varies between cases. Enamel removal is irreversible. Your dentist will assess your teeth and explain the proposed treatment, alternatives and risks before you decide whether to proceed.
Our 1-hour consultation includes a comprehensive smile assessment to ensure your veneers are tailored to your needs and goals. Your dentist will discuss the proposed treatment, expected outcomes, potential risks, benefits and alternatives with you during your consultation.

Our Smile Journey with you
A veneer consultation begins with a discussion about your dental concerns and the changes you are considering. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums and assess whether veneer treatment may be suitable for you.
The treatment plan depends on your dental condition, bite, oral health and the changes being considered. Your dentist will explain the proposed appearance, the preparation that may be required, alternative treatments, costs and potential risks before treatment begins.
If you proceed with treatment, your dentist will explain each stage, including preparation, fitting and aftercare. You can ask questions throughout the process so that you understand the proposed treatment and can make an informed decision.
