Porcelain veneers

Porcelain Veneers:

A Porcelain veneers is made from moulds of your real teeth in a laboratory. Your real teeth are then drilled down and the new porcelain veneers which have been designed by a computer to be the right shape for your mouth replace your old teeth. Your teeth will then look straighter, whiter and give you a new brilliant smile.

Veneers are used to improve the colour of your teeth. A specific shade of porcelain is chosen to give the exact colour to improve a single discoloured tooth or to lighten an entire set of front teeth.

A veneer can also make a chipped tooth appear intact again. Porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the missing part.

Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when braces are not suitable.

Where a single tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can be fitted to align it with the others.

Benefits: a permanent solution, a wide range of colours and shapes from which to choose, a minimally invasive technique when cutting teeth.
