Porcelain Veneers are thin porcelain facings that cover the tooth and can be used to reshape, repair, or restore a tooth back to it's original size or even better! They are bonded to the tooth using a resin material and they are used to fill in spaces in teeth, large chips on the teeth, cover up discolorations on teeth and for smile enhancement. Many people choose to have porcelain veneers placed on their teeth in cases where wearing braces (orthodontics) is not an option. Excellent results can be created from veneers in a matter of two to three sittings, as opposed to wearing braces for months or years. We call it "instant orthodontics". See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 below which show smile enhancement using porcelain veneers.

For the best results, we start by asking you to explain and show us what you would like to achieve with your smile. We will then help you to understand what can, and what sometimes cannot, be done to accomplish your dental goals. This might be about creating an ultra-white, ultra-flawless model-perfect Hollywood smile. Or it might be about fixing some problem areas and creating a regular, healthy-looking smile. Usually all this can be achieved in the space of a few visits. We have been helping our patients since dental veneers first became available and have seen many lives totally transformed by them. Our dental technicians are scientific artisans. They colour match and shape crowns to a very high standard. You can have temporary dental veneers fitted to see if you like them. If not, we can change them before you get your final ones.
