Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for masking discoloured, chipped, cracked, or poorly shaped and positioned teeth. With rapid advances in ceramic technology, veneers have become one of the most aesthetically pleasing and durable options available for enhancing your smile. The materials used to create these veneers closely mimic natural tooth tissue, providing a beautiful and realistic appearance.
Why Consider Porcelain Veneers?
- Discoloration: Covering stains and discolorations that cannot be corrected with whitening.
- Chips and Cracks: Repairing minor damage to your teeth, restoring their appearance and function.
- Shape and Position: Improving the shape, size, and alignment of your teeth for a more harmonious smile.
The Veneer Process: What to Expect
It’s important to start with a consultation with our dental specialist, who will thoroughly discuss the options that are most appropriate for your case. During this consultation, we will take moulds of your teeth, photos, and a precise tooth shade to identify the areas where improvements are needed. This information is then used by our laboratory to create a diagnostic wax-up, allowing you to visualise and approve the intended outcome of your new veneers.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
- Assessment: Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals.
- Impressions and Photos: Moulds, photographs, and tooth shades are taken to plan your veneers.
- Diagnostic Wax-Up: A model is created to show you the proposed changes and final appearance.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
At your second visit, the teeth that will receive veneers are minimally prepared. This involves gently reshaping the surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers. Another impression is taken and sent to the laboratory, where your permanent veneers will be hand-crafted. In the meantime, temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth and provide an immediate improvement to your smile.
Step 3: Final Placement
At your final visit, the temporary veneers are carefully removed, and your custom-made porcelain veneers are tried in. We perform a thorough quality check to ensure they meet our high standards and your expectations. Once you are happy with the results, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
