Veneers can quickly impact the look of your smile, shape and colour of your teeth. Having veneers can be the perfect solution for people who are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth.
A veneer is a thin piece of ceramic material (typically porcelain) that is placed over the front of the teeth. The veneer is custom-made and bonded to the teeth, providing a strength and resilience that is comparable to the tooth’s natural enamel. A well-cared-for set of veneers can improve the shape and colour of your teeth, which can last between 10 and 20 years.
Veneers can be used to close gaps and correct minor misalignments. A veneer is also a popular cosmetic solution for people wishing to enhance the brightness of their teeth, straighten their smile as well as correct issues such as staining or chips.
The fitting or placing of veneers is a typically pain-free procedure, and depending on the individual’s sensitivity, a local anaesthetic is not usually required.
During the procedure, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth in preparation. A mould or impression is then taken, which will be used to create the veneer for the tooth or teeth, and a temporary veneer will be fitted to protect the exposed enamel.
When the veneer has been created (this is normally a two-week process, which is made at our dental laboratory), the dentist will remove the temporary veneer and check the new one for fit and size. The new veneer will then be light-bonded to the teeth, creating a strong attachment.
Veneers should be cared for in the same way as natural teeth with a daily routine of brushing and flossing. We also recommend that you have regular hygiene visits to ensure good oral hygiene, which will also help with the longevity of your veneers.
