Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain glass designed to be bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are essentially a substitute for tooth enamel and are meticulously crafted to fit perfectly over your natural tooth.
Veneers are highly versatile and are used to conceal a variety of dental imperfections. They offer a durable, aesthetic solution for correcting issues with the colour, shape, size, or length of your teeth, giving you a symmetrical and naturally radiant smile.

Your concerns, answered clearly and honestly.
Veneers are thin durable shells made of tooth colored materials that are bonded to the surface of a tooth to enhance its appearance.
Porcelain and composite bonding are the most common veneer materials. Composite veneers are made of a resin that is shaped and bonded to a tooth to enhance the appearance. Porcelain veneers are usually made in a lab and are more resistant to staining, compared to other materials.
You will undergo a comprehensive consultation with the dentist at the practice including scans and X-rays before a treatment plan is advised. If the needed changes are minor and the teeth function properly, cosmetic bonding is an appropriate choice. If teeth are spaced, broken, dark, and/or the patient clenches or grinds their teeth, then porcelain veneers may be the preferred option.
Dental veneers are a great solution for people with discolored, worn down, chipped, misaligned, spaced, uneven or irregularly shaped front teeth.
Getting a porcelain veneer is usually a multi-step process. The first step is to get a consultation with a prosthodontist. At this visit, you can outline your goals and concerns, and a prosthodontist will explain how veneers will work for you. X-rays or impressions of your teeth may be needed. The second step is to prepare the tooth for the veneer. A small amount of tooth structure is removed and an impression is made. The prosthodontist will then place temporary veneers. At the next appointment, temporaries are removed, and the final veneer is bonded to your tooth. In the case of veneers made from tooth colored filling material, or composite bonding, this is a one appointment process in which the prosthodontist will remove a small amount of tooth structure and bond filling material to your teeth. This type of veneer is not as long lasting and doesn't resist staining as well as a porcelain veneer.
