Porcelain Veneers
A veneer covers the visible surface of a tooth with a ceramic layer between 0.3 and 0.7 mm thick. Because the bond to enamel is exceptionally strong, veneers can be thin — which means less of your own tooth is removed than for a crown. They suit teeth that are structurally sound but cosmetically compromised.
Whitening cannot change shape, and orthodontics cannot change colour. Veneers address both at once for discoloured, worn, chipped or slightly rotated front teeth — provided the bite is stable and the gums are healthy, which we confirm first.
Benefits
- Enamel-preserving preparation, often under 0.5 mm
- Colour stability far beyond composite bonding
- Natural translucency layered by a dental technician
- Corrects small gaps and rotations without braces
- Typically completed in two visits

Aftercare
Treat them like natural teeth with one exception: never use them to open packaging or bite nails. A night guard is recommended if you grind.

In our patients’ words
Eight veneers on the upper arch. They talked me out of doing twelve, which is not what I expected from a clinic being paid per unit.
