Veneers

A veneer is a custom fabricated, wafer- thin shell of porcelain that can be placed over a tooth to mask chips, cracks, stains and gaps. Veneers are designed to recreate the natural look of teeth, and are ideal for those looking to vastly improve the appearance of their smile without the time- consuming hassle of orthodontistry.

The process for fitting veneers can be broken down into 3 steps.

Step 1 – the No Obligation, Free of Charge Consultation

During the initial consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth to ensure veneers are suitable for you.  They may also take x-rays and impressions of your mouth and teeth.  They will then discuss your personalized treatment plan with you to ensure you are comfortable and happy with the process.  This is the ideal opportunity for you to discuss and agree upon the most suitable and preferred choice of veneer.

Step 2 - Preparing the tooth

After confirming your suitability for veneers and discussing your treatment goals with you, your dentist will begin to prepare the tooth.  This involves removing as little as 0.33mm of enamel from the surface of the tooth to make space for the veneer.  If you prefer, your dentist can use a local anesthetic to numb the area before treatment starts.  Once trimming is complete, your dentist will take an impression of the tooth.  This is then sent to our in-house dental lab for the construction of the veneer to begin. 

Step 3 – Bonding

Once the veneer has been made, your dentist will test it against your tooth to check if any adjustments are needed.  Once both you and your dentist are happy with the fit and colour, your tooth will be cleaned, polished and etched to allow a strong bond to be made between the tooth and veneer.  Next, a special kind of adhesive material is applied to the veneer and the veneer is attached to the tooth. Once in place, your dentist will activate the chemicals in the cement using a special type of light beam.  This helps the cement harden immediately.  After any excess cement is removed, your dentist will evaluate the fit again to check for any final adjustments.

Lumineers are a type of non-prep veneer that require little or no tooth preparation (i.e. enamel removal) before fitting.  While this may seem attractive to those who wish to conserve as much of their natural tooth as possible, the disadvantages of Lumineers include a bulky, over contoured appearance, and irritated or inflamed gum tissue.  For this reason, we do not recommend Lumineers or other brands of non-prep veneers.  

With proper care and regular checkups, veneers are expected to last up to 30 years.
