Custom Dental Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to change their colour, shape or size. They may be considered for concerns such as chips, gaps, worn edges and discolouration. Your dentist will examine your teeth, discuss whether veneers are suitable for your circumstances, and explain the treatment process, alternatives, costs, potential risks and ongoing care requirements.

Natural-Looking Results

Porcelain veneers can change the colour, shape and proportions of teeth. The appearance achieved depends on the condition of your teeth, the treatment plan and the materials used. Your dentist will discuss the proposed appearance, the limitations of treatment and the possibility that the final result may differ from the initial plan. Results vary between individuals.

Tailored to Your Unique Smile

Veneer treatment planning takes into account the condition of your teeth, your bite and your individual dental needs. Where appropriate, digital planning tools may be used to help discuss the proposed treatment. Your dentist will explain the available options and whether veneers are suitable for your circumstances.

Built for Strength and Longevity

Porcelain veneers can chip, crack, stain or detach and may require repair or replacement. Their lifespan varies between individuals and depends on factors such as bite forces, teeth grinding and oral hygiene. Veneers do not prevent tooth decay or gum disease. Your dentist will discuss the limitations of the material, maintenance requirements and ongoing dental care before treatment.
