Composite & Porcelain Veneers
Are you considering veneers to elevate your smile? Our skilled dental team can help you choose the best fit for you.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are one of the most popular and sought-after treatments in cosmetic dentistry. They are thin, porcelain covers that are custom-made to fit over the front teeth.
Dental veneers are renowned for their ability to address a wide range of dental imperfections, including chipped or cracked teeth, teeth tarnished by stains or discolouration, crooked or misaligned teeth, teeth worn down over time, and teeth exhibiting irregular sizes or shapes.
The Dental Veneers Process
The process of getting dental veneers usually involves two appointments. At the first appointment, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to the dental lab. The lab will use these impressions to create your custom-made veneers.
At the second appointment, our dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneers. The veneers will then be bonded to your teeth using a special dental adhesive.

Frequently asked questions
Let’s address some common queries surrounding dental veneers.
How long do dental veneers last?
The longevity of veneers can vary depending on factors such as the type of veneers used, oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental check-ups.
On average, porcelain veneers can last around 10 to 15 years or more, while composite veneers tend to have a shorter lifespan of about 5 to 7 years.
It’s important to maintain proper oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and follow your dentist’s recommendations to ensure the longevity of your veneers. Regular dental visits for check-ups and maintenance can also contribute to extending their lifespan.
How many veneers do I need?
The number of veneers you need depends on various factors, including your smile goals, the appearance of your existing teeth, your budget, and the recommendations of your dentist. Veneers are often placed on the front teeth that are visible when you smile, but the exact number can vary.
Some individuals opt for a single veneer to address a specific cosmetic issue, while others choose to enhance multiple teeth for a more comprehensive transformation. It’s common to place veneers on the upper front teeth, usually ranging from 2 to 8 veneers, but this can vary based on your unique needs.
During a consultation with your dentist, they will assess your oral health, discuss your desired outcomes, and provide personalised recommendations on the number of veneers that would best achieve your smile goals.
Can I preview my veneers before they go in?
Yes, many dental practices offer the option for patients to preview their veneers before they are placed. This is typically done through a process called a “smile simulation” or “smile preview.” During this process, your dentist or dental lab may create a digital mock-up or a physical model of your teeth with the veneers in place. This allows you to see how the veneers will look on your teeth and make any necessary adjustments before the actual veneers are fabricated and applied.
It’s important to communicate your preferences and expectations with your dentist during the consultation process. They will work closely with you to ensure that the final result aligns with your desired outcome. Keep in mind that while a preview can give you a good idea of how your veneers will look, the actual appearance may vary slightly due to factors such as lighting and the translucency of the veneer material.
Does getting veneers done hurt?
The process of getting veneers is generally not painful, as local anaesthesia is used to numb the area during the procedure. You might feel some minor discomfort or pressure as the dentist prepares your teeth and places the veneers, but any sensations are usually well-tolerated by patients.
However, it’s important to note that some people might experience temporary sensitivity after the procedure, particularly if a small amount of enamel was removed from the teeth to accommodate the veneers. This sensitivity is usually mild and temporary, subsiding within a few days to a week.
If you have any concerns about discomfort or pain, discussing them with your dentist beforehand can help alleviate your worries. Your dentist can explain the entire procedure, including the use of anaesthesia and any potential discomfort, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
