A refined smile, designed for you.
Veneers are thin coverings placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance and, in selected cases, protect or restore damaged tooth structure.
Subtle changes, a confident smile
Veneers can address selected cosmetic concerns while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
What are veneers?
A thin layer over the front of a tooth
Veneers can be made from composite resin or dental porcelain. Composite veneers may be built directly on the tooth or fabricated separately, while porcelain veneers are made in a laboratory before being bonded to the tooth.
The right option depends on your teeth, bite, goals and how much healthy tooth structure is available.
Composite Veneers
Composite can be built up directly on the tooth in selected cases. It can offer a more conservative and repairable option for some patients.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom fabricated by a dental laboratory and then bonded to the tooth. They can provide a highly aesthetic, durable result in suitable cases.
Common reasons

Chips

Are veneers right for everyone?
No. Veneers are not suitable for every tooth or every patient. Active decay, gum disease, heavy grinding, an unfavourable bite or insufficient tooth structure may affect suitability. We assess your individual situation before recommending treatment.
