A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain placed on the front of a tooth that resembles the appearance of natural healthy dental enamel.
They improve the appearance of discoloured, irregularly shaped or damaged teeth and are custom-made for each patient. The size, shape, colour, etc. are all discussed before commencement of treatment. We like to hear your ideas about your smile and show you examples we have previously completed. If you would your veneers to give you a straight white smile or a more rounded natural appearance, we ensure exactly what you want is achieved.
Treatment Steps for Veneers:
Step 1. During your first visit, your dentist will prepare your tooth by removing any outer enamel necessary to allow room for the veneer that will be placed on top.
Step 2. Once the veneer has been made, your dentist will bond the veneer to your tooth with a special adhesive which will firmly hold it in place.
Step 3. Multiple visits are sometimes necessary to review the fit and bite of the veneer.
Aftercare for Veneers:
Veneers are durable restorations but they can be damaged if not treated with care. Hard foods should be cut up before eating and avoid opening anything with your teeth.
We recommend you brush and floss to maintain healthy teeth and gums and visit your dentist regularly.
