Dental veneers

What problem does dental veneers solve?

Dental veneers can be an excellent solution to improve your smile by changing the shape or colour of your front teeth. It also can be an option to restore discoloured or fractured teeth by providing a more aesthetic overall appearance.

They are usually used to correct aesthetic issues, and can correct smaller and even larger problems, such as discolouration, broken or cracked teeth, or teeth that are just not the right shape or size.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, porcelain layers that are adhered to the visible surface of the teeth.

How are they make dental veneers?

Veneers can be direct or indirect. Direct veneers can be manufactured in just one visit. These veneers are made of the same material as composite tooth coloured fillings, and are layered onto the teeth.

Indirect veneers are made in two visits. During the first one the tooth surfaces will be shaped, and an impression will be taken of your teeth which will be sent to the dental lab. They will make your veneers in a few days, and you can wear a temporary until then.
