What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are very thin pieces of tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom made to create the perfect shape and colour. They are bonded onto the front of teeth and function and look just like your normal tooth enamel. Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and hide discolouration to create the smile you’ve always wanted. They are very durable, they do not stain and discolour like enamel and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long-lasting smile.

Porcelain veneers can correct the following problems:​

• crooked or misshapen teeth

• severely discoloured or stained teeth 

• teeth that are too small or large

• worn or chipped teeth

• unwanted or uneven spaces

 

What does getting porcelain veneers involve?

Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anaesthesia required during the procedure. On the first visit, the teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and the perfect colour is chosen to precisely match the surrounding teeth. On the second visit, the teeth are cleaned and the veneers are bonded to the surface of the tooth.
