Porcelain Veneers are highly aesthetic and very popular. Having a beautiful smile is very important for our confidence. When we are confident with our teeth we smile more often and this will affect our mood in a positive way.There are different ways to improve our smiles besides a good oral hygiene at home. Having Porcelain Veneers on our teeth is one of the ways to improve our smile. Sometimes a front tooth has been discoloured due to a trauma or is broken heavily and a dental filling is not strong enough to build it up. Sometimes the front teeth are overcrowded or spaced and a patient might not want to have a long term orthodontic treatment. In all these situations a porcelain veneer can be an excellent option. Porcelain veneers are costly but they are permanent and can last for many years, if you take care of them. Porcelain veneers have many advantages for instance they are colour stable and the white shade don’t fade over the time and they don’t get stained easily. Porcelain veneers are not suitable for every one and it is important to have a thorough dental examination with your dentist to make sure you are a suitable candidate. Porcelain Veneers can completely transform your smile. Porcelain Veneers are well known cosmetic treatments. Teeth can be stained by the food and drink we consume. Smoking can also further stain teeth and darken the natural white shade. Your smile is the first thing that people notice about you and we can help you achieve a great smile.

If your teeth are stained, chipped or damaged, veneers can be used to give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.

What exactly are dental veneers?

A dental veneer is a porcelain facing on the front of your tooth to improve their cosmetic appearance. Veneers are made out of porcelain and can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth.

Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy and are highly aesthetic, and because they are very thin and are held in a place by a special strong bond very little preparation of the tooth is needed. the dental bonding agent is very strong and risk of veneers breaking after bonding is very small. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen under your dentist guidance to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth generally.

Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) is not suitable.

If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
