Unlike orthodontic treatment, which can take several months to show results, veneers require just a few appointments to get your new smile underway. Thanks to modern materials, we can create thin, strong veneers that often require minimal tooth preparation. In some cases, no tooth reduction is needed at all.
Veneers offer a quick and effective solution for achieving a radiant, flawless smile. Whether you’re looking to correct minor dental issues or completely transform your teeth, veneers provide a durable, natural-looking, and long-lasting option that can boost your confidence and leave you smiling with pride.
We begin your treatment with a consultation to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. We also take impressions of your teeth using our cutting-edge digital technology. We create models of your teeth, which are used to create a ‘wax-up’, enabling us to show you how veneers can transform your smile.
Once you’re happy with the design of your new smile, we may prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel, if needed. You’ll be given temporary veneers to protect your teeth while your final ones are being made.
Your veneers are crafted in a dedicated dental laboratory. When they’re ready, we make sure they look exactly as you expected and make any necessary adjustments before bonding them to your teeth.
After fitting, it’s essential to maintain your veneers with regular brushing and flossing. Your dentist and hygienist will advise on good oral hygiene and monitor the health of your teeth and gums.
While veneers are strong, it’s important to treat them with care. Avoid biting nails, chewing pen tops, or using your teeth to open things. Hard foods can also damage veneers.
In most cases, fitting porcelain veneers requires removing some natural tooth enamel, making it an irreversible treatment. However, veneers themselves can last up to 15 years with proper care.
The veneer treatment itself shouldn’t be painful. We use local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort during preparation and fitting. Most patients experience no pain. Some sensitivity may occur after fitting, but this usually subsides after a few days.
