Porcelain Veneers
– Reasons for porcelain veneers
– What is involved in getting porcelain veneers

Veneers are slender, tooth-shaped porcelain coverings, custom-crafted in both shape and colour by a specialized dental lab. They are bonded to the front of the teeth, enhancing your smile with their aesthetic appeal.
Veneers can transform your teeth and smile, serving as alternatives to crowns and providing an effective treatment for various dental issues.
While veneers are robust and can last for many years, they are not permanent and may require replacement eventually, to maintain a beautiful and enduring smile.
Reasons for Choosing Porcelain Veneers:
- To achieve a uniform, white, and beautiful smile cosmetically.
- Crooked teeth.
- Misshapen teeth.
- Severely discoloured or stained teeth.
- Teeth that are too small or large.
- Unwanted or uneven spaces.
- Worn or chipped teeth.
Procedure for Obtaining Porcelain Veneers:
The process typically involves two visits and may require minimal to no anesthesia. The first step involves preparing the teeth by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to accommodate the veneer’s thickness. A mold or impression of the teeth is then made, and you, along with your dentist, will select an appropriate shade.
During the second visit, the teeth are cleansed with special solutions to ensure a strong bond. A bonding cement is applied between the tooth and the veneer, and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
You will be provided with care instructions for your new veneers. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups will help extend the life of your veneers.
