Dental veneers, often referred to as porcelain veneers, are ultra-thin shells made of porcelain, zirconia, e-max or composite resin that are custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, correcting imperfections and providing a natural and attractive smile.

The Veneer Procedure
The process of getting dental veneers typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: During your initial visit, our professional dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your specific concerns and goals, and create a personalised veneer treatment plan.
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel from the front of the teeth to be veneered is gently removed to create space for the veneers. Local anaesthesia may be used.
- Impressions: Precise digital impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom veneers that match the colour and shape of your natural teeth.
- Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed while the final veneers are being fabricated in the dental laboratory.
- Veneer Bonding: Once the final veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive.
- Finishing: The veneers are shaped and polished to ensure a natural look and a smooth texture.
