What is veneers?
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain bonded to the front surface of a tooth, changing its shape, shade or minor alignment without the tooth needing a full crown. A small amount of enamel is usually removed to make room, and the veneer is custom-made to match the rest of your smile.
Who is it for?
You have chipped, worn or slightly uneven front teeth.
Whitening has not been able to fix persistent discolouration.
You have small gaps or minor alignment issues you would rather not treat with braces.
You want a longer-lasting cosmetic change than whitening or bonding alone.
Concerns patients bring to us
- Chips or wear on the edges of your front teeth.
- Discolouration that whitening has not fully addressed.
- Small gaps or slightly uneven teeth affecting your smile.
- Wanting a cosmetic change without full orthodontic treatment.
Benefits
Addresses chips, unevenness and colour in one treatment.
Porcelain reflects light similarly to natural enamel.
Well cared for, veneers typically last 10–15 years.
Only a thin layer of enamel is removed to make room.
The treatment process
Assessing suitability and discussing the shape, shade and result you want.
A thin layer of enamel is removed and impressions taken.
Temporaries protect your teeth while the final ones are made.
The finished veneers are checked for fit and shade, then bonded permanently.
Technology & approach
Digital previews let you see an approximation of the finished shape and shade before your teeth are prepared, so the design is agreed with you upfront.
