What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are used to correct any light damage, cover up discolouration or to just improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Veneers are a thin, tooth-coloured shell that is designed to fit over the front of a tooth. They can also be used to fill in gaps between teeth.
Only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed so the veneer can fit nicely in the mouth, if any.
The benefits
- Natural-looking.
- More of the healthy tooth can be retained.
- Colour matched to blend in aesthetically.
- Can correct a number of flaws and improve a gappy smile.
- Stain resistant.
Treatment steps
- 01
Preparation
If needed, a thin layer of enamel is taken from the surface of the tooth to give the veneer enough room.
- 02
Impressions and shade
Once prepared, impressions are taken so a customised veneer can be produced in a laboratory. The colour of your teeth is also noted so it will blend in perfectly.
- 03
Bonding
When ready, the veneer is bonded to the tooth using a strong dental adhesive.
How do I look after my veneers?
Although veneers are resilient, it is important to treat them with care. Avoid biting nails or chewing pen tops, or using your teeth to open anything. It is probably best to steer clear of very hard foods that could cause damage to the veneer. To give your veneer the best chance of lasting a long time, keep up a regular routine of brushing and flossing.
