Dental Veneers
Enhance the Appearance of Your Smile
Dental veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth to correct various imperfections such as yellowed, chipped, worn, misaligned, or spaced teeth. They help create a smile that looks more uniform, bright, and natural while preserving the underlying tooth structure.
What types of veneers are available?
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom‑made in a dental laboratory to match your smile perfectly.
- Highly natural appearance
- Excellent stain resistance
- Long‑lasting durabilityStable colour over time
Treatment steps:
- Two appointments are required
- A minimal enamel preparation is performed
- Local anesthesia ensures comfort
- Final veneers are bonded during the second visit
Lifespan: On average 10 to 15 years, but they can last 25 years or more with proper care and favourable conditions.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the teeth in a single appointment.
Advantages:
- Quick procedure
- No pain and usually no anesthesia
- More affordable
- Easy to repair
Important to know: Composite is more prone to wear and discoloration than porcelain. Their average lifespan is 5 to 10 years, but they can last longer with good maintenance.
My teeth are crooked — am I a good candidate for veneers?
Veneers can be an excellent option for patients with slightly crooked teeth who prefer not to undergo orthodontic treatment.
How does the dentist evaluate your case?
- Assessment of alignment and bite
- Evaluation of enamel thickness
- Discussion of your aesthetic goals
- Verification of overall dental and gum health
Previewing the final result
Before starting, the dentist may create:
- A diagnostic wax‑up of the future veneers
- An in‑mouth mock‑up to preview the potential outcome
This allows adjustments to shape, length, and style before the actual procedure.
Do veneers damage the teeth?
Preparation is minimal and preserves enamel. The procedure is safe when properly planned.
Do veneers change colour?
Porcelain veneers do not. Composite veneers may stain over time.
Can a veneer be replaced?
Yes. Veneers can be repaired or replaced if needed.
Is the procedure painful?
Porcelain veneers require light anesthesia; composite veneers typically do not.
