Are you unhappy with the way one or more of your teeth look? Thin and strong dental veneers can beautifully enhance their appearance, fitting completely over a tooth to conceal discolouration, chips, misalignment and small gaps. Whether you have one veneer, or a whole arch of veneers, you can expect a dramatic smile transformation.

During your consultation, we examine your teeth and gums to make sure they are perfectly healthy. We take digital impressions to create models of your teeth and show you a preview of how veneers can transform their appearance.
When you’re happy with the look we’ve come up with together, we prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel, if necessary. We fit temporary veneers to protect your teeth while your final ones are created.
When your veneers are ready, we make sure they look exactly as you expected and feel comfortable in your mouth. We then fix them into place using strong dental adhesive.
In many cases, fitting porcelain veneers requires some of your natural tooth enamel to be removed. Therefore, they are an irreversible treatment, designed to be kept on your teeth permanently.
Veneers can last up to 15 years before needing to be replaced, depending on your individual case and how well they are looked after.
After fitting, it is important to keep your veneer well-maintained with regular brushing and flossing. Your dentist and hygienist will show you how to keep on top of your dental hygiene and keep a close eye on the health of your teeth and gums.
Although veneers are resilient, it is important to treat them with care, so try not to bite your fingernails or chew pen tops or use your teeth to open anything. Also, it is probably best to steer clear of very hard foods that could cause damage to the veneer.
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.
