Dentists often use veneers to transform a smile and recreate the natural look of teeth. Veneers can improve the shape, size and colour of your teeth with minimal treatment.
A Natural-Looking Smile
Dentists often use veneers to transform a smile and recreate the natural look of teeth.
Veneers are a thin layer of tooth-coloured porcelain, similar to false fingernails, that your dentist bonds to your existing front teeth. They allow you to improve the shape, size and colour of your teeth. The procedure usually takes two sessions, so you do not need long treatment.
Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental option for:
At Heath Street Dental, we custom-make dental veneers individually so they can look completely natural.
A Simple Two-Visit Process
A veneer requires minimal tooth preparation into enamel and you can usually complete the treatment in just two visits.
During the first visit, we would ensure we understand exactly what you would like to achieve with your smile. Your dentist will examine your teeth and make sure dental veneers are an appropriate option for you.
We prepare the tooth to enable an impression to be taken. This involves removing about half a millimetre of enamel from the tooth surface so the veneer can be added.
After the impression is taken, our dental ceramists handcraft the veneer. During the second visit, we bond the veneer in place with a special adhesive, which holds it firmly to the tooth.
Long-Lasting Smile Enhancement
Once fitted, a veneer should last for many years, but just like normal teeth, they can break or chip. Taking good care of your veneers and maintaining good oral hygiene can help protect them and keep your smile looking its best.
Veneers are bonded firmly to the tooth using a special adhesive, helping them remain securely in place. Your dentist can also advise you on how to look after your veneers and maintain their appearance over time.
