Veneers
Reshape and recolour the front surface of your teeth
Veneers cover the front surface of a tooth to change its shape, close a gap, or change a colour that whitening cannot lift. They suit sound front teeth and do not replace crowns on badly damaged teeth.
Composite veneers are finished in one visit, shaped directly onto the tooth. Porcelain veneers are made in a laboratory, which takes longer but holds its colour and surface better.
Your dentist checks that the gums and teeth are ready first. Some cases need scaling or fillings completed beforehand.
Common questions
Composite or porcelain?
Composite is finished in one visit and is easier to repair. Porcelain is laboratory-made, takes longer, and holds its colour and surface better.
Does the tooth need to be filed down?
It depends. Some cases need a very thin layer removed, some need none. Your dentist tells you before starting.
How long do veneers last?
It depends on care and habits. Biting hard objects or grinding shortens their life. Your dentist explains how to look after them.
