Transform the way your smile looks
Dental veneers are thin, durable and natural-looking shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. They are custom-made and often used to conceal imperfections including damage, discolouration or misalignment. Whether you have one veneer, or a whole arch of veneers, you can expect a dramatic smile transformation. Book your veneers appointment today!

Your dental veneers treatment journey
1
Planning
During your consultation, we make sure your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for treatment. We take digital scans to design your veneers and use models to show you a preview of how veneers can transform your smile.
2
Preparation
Once you’re happy with the look that we’ve come up with together, we will prepare your teeth if you need to have a thin layer of enamel removed. We’ll provide temporary veneers to keep your teeth protected while your final ones are being made.
3
Fitting
Your veneers are crafted at the dental laboratory using the models of your teeth. When we receive your veneers, we’ll see you again for your fitting. We make sure the look is exactly what you expected before we fix the veneers using a dental adhesive.
Frequently asked questions
It’s important to brush and floss regularly in order to properly look after your veneers. Your dentist will show you the best ways to keep on top of your oral hygiene at home, and recommend regular dental visits to monitor your veneers and the health of your teeth and gums.
While veneers are strong, it’s important to treat them with care. Try to avoid habits like biting your fingernails, chewing on pen tops or using your teeth to open things. It’s also wise to steer clear of very hard foods that could potentially damage your veneers.
In most cases, fitting porcelain veneers involves removing some of your natural tooth enamel, making it an irreversible treatment designed to be permanent. Your veneers themselves can last up to 15 years or more, depending on how well you look after them.
You shouldn’t find either the treatment for veneers or the veneers themselves painful. We use a local anaesthetic to minimise your discomfort during the preparation and fitting process and ensure you are relaxed and ready before beginning any treatment. Most patients experience no pain or discomfort at all. You may feel some sensitivity once your veneers have been fitted, but this will go away after a few days.
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, much more so than your natural teeth. However, it's still a good idea to practice excellent oral hygiene and limit excessive consumption of heavily staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, or red wine to maintain their bright appearance.
