Porcelain Veneers

What are veneers?

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth and is held in place by a special strong bond.

Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth. Veneers, if maintained, should last more than ten years. Unlike most bonding materials, veneers will not change colour over time.

Should you consider Veneers?

Veneers provide an alternative to traditional crowns. They cover unattractive gaps and can mask stained, misshapen, or crooked teeth. If these conditions apply to your mouth, veneers may be your best option.

Benefits of Veneers

• Very little preparation of the tooth is needed.
• A minimal amount of the natural tooth must be altered to fit the veneer.
• Veneers can be matched to make even the darkest teeth appear to be bright white.
• Minor twists and overlaps, as well as small gaps, can be quickly corrected with the use of veneers.
