Dental Veneers

Veneers can immediately straighten crooked teeth while porcelain Veneers are used to whiten teeth. Veneers can also be used to mask other imperfections on the surface of your teeth. Veneers are used to modify the colour, size, shape and position of a tooth and in doing so create a beautiful result.

There are three tooth Veneers procedures available that correct discolouration or shape of teeth i.e. Composite, Porcelain and Lumineer Porcelain Veneers.

For teeth that are very damaged, veneers may not be adequate and a crown may be a better alternative. Your Dentist will advise you of all your options and recommend the best to optimise the end result.

All Dental Implants, Bridges, Crowns and Veneers are fully tax deductible.

There are 3 main types of veneers that we can provide to you as a patient, the choice depends on your desired final result, your budget and the time it takes to create your veneers.

Porcelain Veneers

Some dentists will begin by grinding down the teeth and then making an impression of your teeth for the creation of a mold. Then they’ll send the mold out to a lab for the porcelain veneer to be made.

Once the veneer is ready, your dentist can place it on your prepared tooth and cement it in place. Temporary veneers may be used until the permanent veneers come back from the lab.

Composite Resin Veneers

If you choose composite resin veneers, your dentist will etch the surface of your tooth before applying a thin layer of the composite material to your prepared tooth.

Additional layers of composite may be necessary to achieve your intended look. Your dentist will finish by curing, or hardening, the composite veneer with a special light.

No-prep veneers

These are specific brands of porcelain veneers, and work much like the application of false finger nails. They take less time and are less invasive to apply.

Instead of removing layers of tooth under the enamel, no-prep veneers only affect the enamel. In many cases, no-prep veneers don’t require local anesthetics or temporary veneers.
