Porcelain veneers can be used to great effect in dramatically changing the appearance of your smile. Using our 3D scanner, we can take accurate captures of your smile and then use our previewing software to design your dream smile. These digital scans are used to create custom-made veneers from tooth-coloured porcelain.

A veneer is a thin tooth-coloured shell fixed to the front of a tooth to mask discolouration, an irregular shape, damage or small gaps. They are usually fitted to the front upper and lower teeth and are made from ceramic, porcelain or a composite material. They can be used to enhance your smile and help to protect an affected tooth from further damage.

Why have a veneer?

  • More of the healthy tooth can be retained
  • Natural-looking
  • Durable
  • Colour matched to your natural teeth
  • Can correct a number of flaws
  • Stain-resistant

Looking after your veneers

After fitting, it is important to keep your veneer well-maintained with regular brushing and flossing. Your dentist and hygienist will show you how to keep on top of your dental hygiene and keep a close eye on the health of your teeth and gums.

Although veneers are resilient, it is important to treat them with care, so try not to bite your fingernails or chew pen tops, or use your teeth to open anything. Also, it is probably best to steer clear of very hard foods that could cause damage to the veneer.
