What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, chipped, misaligned, or unevenly spaced. Veneers can provide a natural-looking and long-lasting solution to achieve a beautiful smile.
The veneers procedure
The process of getting dental veneers typically involves several steps. First, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and discuss your goals and expectations. Then, they will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface. Next, impressions of your teeth will be taken to create custom-made veneers. Once the veneers are ready, your dentist will carefully bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. Finally, any necessary adjustments will be made to enable a comfortable fit and a natural-looking result.
Frequently asked questions
We've compiled a list of common questions about this treatment. If you have any other queries, please get in touch.
- How long do veneers last?
With proper care, dental veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, and to avoid habits like biting your nails or chewing on hard objects, as these can damage the veneers.
- Can veneers be whitened?
No, dental veneers cannot be whitened. However, they are stain-resistant and can maintain their natural colour for a long time. If you're interested in whitening your teeth, it's best to do so before getting veneers to achieve a consistent shade.
- Are veneers reversible?
The process of getting veneers is not reversible, as a small amount of enamel needs to be removed from the teeth to accommodate the veneers. It's important to consult with your dentist and carefully consider your decision before proceeding with the procedure.
