Porcelain Veneers

Achieving  a Natural Smile

Porcelain veneers are a great cosmetic dental treatment that can enhance the entire appearance of your smile.  They can help to correct shape, misaligned, chipped or broken teeth and close gaps to give a more attractive smile.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are:

  • wafer thin (less than 1mm) shells of hand-made porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth
  • they are beautiful, durable, minimally-invasive, strong and can closely mimic the optical properties of enamel such as translucency, giving a more natural long-lasting smile
  • bonded to the tooth surface, their strength is comparable to a natural untouched tooth
  • long lasting when a meticulous approach is used.

What does it involve?

Our meticulous and highly trained dentists will assess your teeth to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.  Your new smile is designed and hand-crafted from impressions.  In the initial planning we consider your requests for your ideal smile.

We take care to accurately prepare your teeth with minimal reduction to receive the wafer-thin porcelain veneers (as little as 0.3mm).  Our ceramist will hand-make your porcelain veneers to our prescription.

Temporary veneers protect your teeth and act as a preview to the final result whilst your veneers are created.

Your porcelain veneers are assessed for accurate fit, colour and general aesthetics with surrounding teeth.  After your approval, they are carefully bonded in place to create your new beautiful smile.

What are the benefits of porcelain veneers over composite veneers?

Porcelain veneers are:

  • minimally-invasive
  • highly aesthetic, have similar translucency, and can mimic enamel more closely than composite
  • more colour stable and resist staining-unlike composite veneers
  • able to maintain their lustre and do not dull like composite veneers can over time.

If you want a beautiful smile that lasts, porcelain veneers are the superior choice.
