Porcelain Veneers

Have you always dreamt of a Hollywood smile? If the answer is yes, the good news is that it may be simpler to achieve than you imagined.

Porcelain veneers are a great way to correct a wide range of cosmetic dental issues. For example, if you have a single tooth that is badly stained or discoloured, we can fit a single veneer to cover it and match it to the colour of the rest of your teeth, so it looks entirely natural.

A single veneer could also be used to restore a tooth that is chipped, while if you have unsightly gaps between your teeth or a tooth that is slightly crooked, a full set of veneers (usually between six and eight) can be fitted to give you a full smile makeover.

Veneers are very thin slivers of porcelain that are attached to the front surface of your teeth using a special, strong bonding agent. Very little preparation needs to be done to the teeth beforehand, other than removing a tiny amount of enamel to help with the bonding process.

The process of having porcelain veneers fitted is very quick, meaning that you could have a dazzling new smile in just a couple of weeks. After your initial consultation, you will need a first appointment to take impressions of your teeth and to prepare them if necessary. Once your veneers have been made up in our laboratory, you will come in for a second appointment to have them fitted and checked before they are bonded into place, and you walk out of the practice with a gorgeous brand new smile.
