What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are cosmetic dentistry equipment made of tooth coloured materials. They are ultra-thin layers and are customized to the patient’s measurements. When attached to the surfaces of the teeth, they mask flaws such as chipping and stains. They resemble natural teeth, making it almost impossible to distinguish them from a natural tooth. With proper care and good oral hygiene, veneers are proven to last 10-15 years. The procedure is minimally invasive and achieves the natural look and feel of natural teeth.

- The Procedure
- The dental veneer procedure is a detailed process that begins with determining the right candidates. Not everyone can get veneers and it takes careful consideration and testing to determine the perfect fit. Once it is established that you are an ideal candidate, weperform a smile analysis. This will determine the necessary steps to be taken in the operation. Then we will help you and let you try on different veneers for a diagnostic mock–up.
- “Cosmetic imaging” is another way of determining your desired smile profile.
- Getting dental veneers may take up to six weeks, in a series of two to three appointments. During your appointment, you will undergo: assessment, trimming of the tooth, selecting a matching shade of porcelain, taking tooth impressions, and finally bonding of the veneers onto your teeth.
