Smile Tranformation story with Veneers
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells of material that are custom-made to fit over the front surface your tooth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, stained, chipped, misaligned, or that have other cosmetic issues.
What are the different types of Veneers?
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are the most popular and widely used. They are the gold standard of cosmetic dentistry, they are known for their durability, natural appearance, and stain resistance. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory and then bonded to your teeth. They require some enamel removal, making them a permanent solution.
Composite Veneers
Composite Veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin material that is applied directly to your tooth and shaped by one of our cosmetic specialists. They are a more cost-effective option compared to porcelain veneers but may not last as long and can be more susceptible to staining.
Porcelain Veneers
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin custom-made porcelain shells that bond to the natural tooth structure to improve the overall appearance of the teeth. Veneers are the gold standard of cosmetic dentistry, they provide long-term results and have a very natural appearance.
The material of the Veneer reflects light in a very similar way to how a natural tooth would, this is because it can be made very translucent. The treatment can be done with minimal preparation to the natural tooth structure, therefore it is a conservative treatment option.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
Porcelain is an extremely durable material that is known for its resistance to discolouration over time. With proper care, Porcelain Veneers can last for at least a decade or more.
What are the Advantages & Disadvantages of Porcelain Veneers?
Advantages

- They are much more stain resistant compared to composite veneers
- They look more natural than composite veneers, this is because the porcelain material reflects the natural light in a very similar way to what our tooth enamel does

Disadvantages
