Veneers create the ultimate smile makeover. They can transform stained, damaged, crooked and worn teeth into a brand new whiter, straighter smile.

A veneer is a restoration procedure where a worn tooth is built up to protect it or mask imperfections, or where crooked teeth are cosmetically aligned.

There are two types of dental veneers:

• ceramic/porcelain
• direct resin

We usually recommend direct resin. Minimal tooth preparation is required and veneers are prepared and completed in one single appointment. They are made entirely by the dentist using a range of modern composite resin materials in various tints and shades, creating a perfectly natural look. There’s no need for impressions or laboratory visits.

We can do multiple direct resin veneers at the same time, and can also alter them in shape and colour in the future. You can even choose to do a ‘trial smile‘ before we start so you can visualise the result. They are often less expensive than porcelain veneers.

Porcelain/ceramic restoration is often recommended if staining or discolouration is severe.
