What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Crafted from tooth-coloured materials like porcelain or composite resin, they are bonded to your teeth to improve their colour, shape, size, or length, resulting in a natural-looking smile.
When Are Dental Veneers Used?
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution and are commonly used to address:
- Discolouration that doesn’t respond to whitening
- Chipped or worn-down teeth
- Minor misalignment or gaps
- Irregular or uneven tooth shape

Benefits Of Dental Veneers
Restored Smile
Veneers are ideal for covering stains, gaps, chips, or minor misalignments — restoring your smile.
Low Maintenance
Veneers do not require special care beyond regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits.
Lasting Solution
Porcelain veneers are extremely durable, lasting 10 to 15 years or longer with good oral hygiene.
Natural Look
High-quality veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, ensuring they look realistic.
Our Veneers Process
1. Initial Consultation
We assess your teeth to see if veneers are right, or suggest alternatives like whitening or orthodontics.
2. Tooth Preparation
The process starts with a minimal amount of enamel gently removed. This allows the veneer to fit naturally.
3. Temporary Veneers
Teeth impressions are sent to a lab for custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed while you wait.
4. Veneer Placement
Veneers are bonded to your teeth and light-cured. Some sensitivity may be experienced. Final adjustments are made.
Caring For Your Veneers
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your veneers, we recommend:
- Brushing and flossing daily.
- Limiting staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine.
- Avoiding hard foods that may chip the veneer.
- Wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth.
- Attending regular dental check-ups.
