Smile Makeovers

Transform your Smile with Veneers!

These custom-made shells are designed to cover imperfections like chips, stains, or gaps, giving you a flawless, natural-looking smile. Veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and can enhance your smile alongside your confidence. 



What are the advantages?

Veneers offer several cosmetic benefits, including:



Discolouration Correction: Veneers are a great solution for improving the appearance of a single discoloured tooth or lightening the front teeth by choosing a precise shade of porcelain.


Restoring Broken Teeth: Porcelain veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth, with a thicker section replacing the broken part, restoring both function and appearance.


Gap Closure: Veneers can be used to close small gaps between teeth, providing an alternative when braces are not suitable.


Tooth Alignment: If a tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can be applied to make it align with the surrounding teeth, avoiding the need for orthodontic treatment in some cases.

 How are teeth prepared for Veneers?

A small layer of enamel is removed from the surface of the tooth to make sure that the veneer can be bonded permanently in place later. The amount of enamel removed is minimal and will be the same thickness of the veneer to be fitted. 


A local anaesthetic ( numbing injection) may be used to make sure that there is no discomfort, but often this is not needed. Once the tooth has been prepared, the dental team will take an impression of your tooth which will then be sent to the dental technician, along with any other information needed to make the veneer.


The colour of the surrounding teeth is matched on a shade guide to make sure that the veneer will blend flawlessly, creating a perfected, yet natural aesthetic to your smile.

  • How long will it take?

    A veneer takes two visits. The first is to prepare the tooth and match the shade, and the second is to fit it. Before bonding it in place, your dentist will show you the veneer on your tooth to make sure you are happy with it. Bonding a veneer in place is done with a special adhesive which holds it firmly on the tooth

  • Will I need a temporary veneer between visits?

    Because the preparation of the tooth is so light, you will probably not need a temporary veneer. The tooth will look very much the same after preparation, but will feel slightly less smooth.

  • How much will it cost?

    The cost of this treatment can vary from practice to practice so it is important to discuss charges and treatment options with your dental team before starting treatment.

  • How long do veneers last?

    Veneers should last for many years but may chip or break, just like your own teeth can. Small chips can be repaired, or a new veneer fitted if necessary.
