FREE Veneers Consultations
If you find that your teeth are slightly crooked, stained, uneven or different shapes, Porcelain Veneers are the answer.
Veneers are hand made by our technicians and layered by porcelain for a flawless smile. Organise a free consultation and we will discuss all of the options with you.
What Are
Veneers?
A dental veneer is a thin shell of tooth-coloured porcelain that is cemented over the facial surfaces of your teeth to correct dental issues including worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, tooth discolouration, and chips or cracks.
Although veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they help makeover smiles with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth, they also have protective qualities and may eliminate the need for more extensive treatments. Other benefits include durability, an improved smile appearance, and the need for little-to-no removal of tooth structure compared to dental crowns.
Choosing Teeth Whitening
Who Are Veneers For?
Cosmetic veneers enhance teeth appearance, made from porcelain or resin, custom-fitted for a natural look. They can address many cosmetic dental issues.
Wear And Tear
As we age, our teeth naturally begin to wear down. Aged teeth are more likely to have chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance of healthy, youthful teeth.
Certain people are born with abnormal spacing between their teeth that widens with age.
Uneven Teeth
Uneven teeth can result from the grinding of teeth, and/or though general wear and tear. This can lead to bite issues in addition to cosmetic smile issues.
Discolouration
Stubborn tooth discoloration may not be fully correctable through teeth whitening. In such cases, veneers can offer a simple, cosmetic solution.
Choosing Veneers
Porcelain Versus Composite Resin
Porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers are both types of veneers that are used to improve the appearance of teeth, but the main difference is the material.
Porcelain Veneers:
- Made from high-quality dental ceramic materials
- Typically stronger and more durable than composite veneers
- Custom-made and personalised to match the colour, shape, and size of patient's natural teeth
- Generally more expensive than composite veneers
- Require two appointments to have placed (First appointment to prepare the teeth, take measurements and create the veneers; The second appointment to bond them to the teeth)
Composite Veneers:
- Made from a tooth-coloured resin material
- Typically less expensive than porcelain veneers
- Can be placed in a single appointment
- Less durable and may require more maintenance over time
- Can be repaired or touched up easily if they become damaged
- Not as customisable as porcelain veneers, but still offer the ability to improve the appearance of the teeth, they are usually use on dental bonding
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
- Outcome
- Veneers should not lose colour or shine over time, they can remain their colour if you avoid the ingestion of highly coloured foods or tobacco, which can end up affecting them in time.
- Durable and long-lasting option
- With a proper care, veneers can last for a long time. Porcelain is a durable material that is resistant to stains, scratches, and discolouration. The bonding process used to attach the veneers is designed to create a strong and durable bond between the veneer and the tooth so it lasts longer.
Surgical Treatment Procedure
Expert Care, Stunning Results.
Consultation and Treatment Planning
The dentist will assess your oral health and take scans to create a treatment plan. You will decide on the shape, colour, and size of your veneers.
Preparation of Teeth
A small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth for veneers. Impressions are taken and sent to a lab to custom-craft your veneers.
Temporary Veneers and Fabrication
Temporary veneers protect teeth and provide an aesthetic smile. The lab uses impressions to craft matching veneers.
Bonding and Final Placement
At your final visit, the dentist will remove temporary veneers and check the fit of the permanent ones before bonding them.
For Your Veneers
Aftercare For Veneers
- 01
Keep good oral hygiene
Remember to brush regularly with a soft toothbrush in a circular way to avoid the accumulation of bacterial plaque. - 02
Have regular checkups
Regular cleaning removes stains and plaque that can damage veneers. It also helps identify issues early, allowing your dentist to address them promptly. - 03
Don't clench your teeth
Try not to clench your teeth, sometimes we do it involuntarily, but doing so can cause our veneers to chip, so be careful when eating certain hard or sticky foods, to avoid any damage or break. - 04
Avoid tobacco and sugary drinks
Tobacco yellows teeth and we avoid it. Limit drinks like coffee, tea, wine, and dark sodas, as they stain and accelerate discolouration.
