Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded onto the front surfaces of your teeth to help improve the appearance of your teeth. With veneers your dentist can alter the size, shape and colour of teeth.
A veneer is a thin custom-made moulding made from porcelain usually made by a dental technician. Composite veneers can be made directly by the dentist, this is a much quicker, easier, and cost-effective treatment but may not last as long as porcelain dental veneers.
This depends on several factors but if fitted corrected you can expect them to last 10-15 years. They will not last that long if your enamel has been lost or if your bite is poor. To protect the veneers, you will also need healthy back teeth to withstand the bite force.
Generally, there are ways around grinding away healthy enamel, and most dentists will prefer to be minimally invasive. Your dentist will determine the treatment needed to ensure your oral health is priority whilst you achieve the very best results.
Advances in this treatment mean that there are higher strength porcelains available. This means that the veneer does not have to be quite so thick, and there is no need to remove any of the surface of your own teeth.
The length of a veneer’s procedure depends on how many veneers are needed. If it is just one, it is usually quick and easy. You come in for a scan (and preparation of the tooth if needed), and then on your next visit, we fit it. So, from start to finish, it takes about two weeks.
