Aesthetic

What it is

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or ceramic that cover the visible front surface of a tooth. They are made in a dental laboratory to the exact size and shade planned for your smile, and look and reflect light like natural enamel. They are durable and resist staining.

They're used for teeth that are discoloured, chipped, worn, short or slightly uneven, for gaps between teeth, and for front teeth with large old fillings that have darkened over time. To make room, a very thin layer of enamel is usually removed, so veneers are considered a permanent choice. For complex cases, or on request, we can first create a wax model so you see the final shape before anything is changed.

Suitable for

  • Stained or discoloured teeth that whitening can't fix
  • Chipped, worn or short front teeth
  • Small gaps or minor misalignment
  • Old, darkened fillings on front teeth

How it's done

  1. 01

    Smile planning

    We discuss the look you want, take photos and impressions, and, if helpful, prepare a wax preview.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    A thin layer of enamel is shaped and an impression is sent to the lab. Whitening may come first if teeth are very dark.

  3. 03

    Lab work

    Your veneers are crafted in the lab. Temporary veneers can protect your teeth while you wait.

  4. 04

    Bonding

    At the second appointment we check fit and colour, then bond each veneer permanently in place.

Aftercare

Every treatment starts with a consultation. The information here is general — your dentist will tell you what applies to you.

  • Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth as usual
  • Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens or nutshells
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
  • Limit coffee, tea and red wine in the first days
  • Keep up regular check-ups and professional cleaning

Questions

Questions, answered.

  • Yes. Ceramic reflects light like enamel, and each veneer is shaped and shaded for your face and the colour of your other teeth.

  • Usually not, because a thin layer of enamel is removed. That's why we plan carefully and can show you a preview first.

  • No, ceramic doesn't respond to whitening. If you'd like whiter teeth overall, we whiten first and match the veneers to the new shade.
