Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can be an effective solution for a range of cosmetic concerns, including discolouration, chips, gaps and minor misalignment. Veneers are thin, custom-made layers that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their overall appearance.
Treatment usually takes place over two or more visits. A small amount of enamel may be gently reshaped before impressions are taken to create your bespoke veneers. Once ready, they are carefully bonded in place and adjusted to achieve a natural-looking result.
Smile Makeover FAQs
I’m unhappy with my smile but I’m not sure why. What should I do?
A balanced smile involves harmony between your teeth, lips and gums. During your consultation, we’ll help identify areas you’d like to improve and create a treatment plan that suits your needs.
Do veneers hurt?
Veneers are usually fitted with minimal discomfort. Local anaesthetic may be used if needed to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How long do veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, porcelain veneers can last many years.
Does gum contouring hurt?
Gum contouring is carried out using local anaesthetic to keep the area comfortable. Modern laser techniques allow for precise treatment with minimal recovery time.
