Veneers
At Dental Implants and Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care through our expertise in delivering highly aesthetic, minimally invasive porcelain veneers to create your dream smile.
Our patient-focused approach prioritizes your needs, ensuring personalized treatment plans that align with your unique goals.
What are Veneers?
Dental veneers are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry for those looking to make aesthetic enhancements to their smile.
Dental veneers are thin, personalized shells made of high-quality porcelain, meticulously crafted to envelop the front surface of teeth, offering a resilient and seamlessly natural-looking solution for transforming your smile.
Using the latest in CAD-CAM technology and working closely with our in-house lab technicians, allows us to intricately customize every detail, ensuring a result designed to perfectly complement your natural features.
Veneers can help to mask many aesthetic defects of the smile including:
- Discolouration
- Chipped/fractured teeth
- Minor tooth misalignment
- Spacing
- Uneven smile
We take pride in designing your veneers to replicate tooth-like subtleties, translucencies, and nuances in colour, to deliver the most authentic and natural-looking smile.
Your satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do.
Before and Afters
What to expect from
your first consult?
During your first consultation, our team will take intra- and extra-oral photos of your teeth. This will
help your dentist to assess your case and give you a detailed treatment plan. You will be able to take the itemised treatment plan home with you.
What is involved in the treatment process?
The diagnostic and examination phase of the treatment is of high importance. It identifies possible oral health concerns that we will address before proceeding to the veneer treatment. It also helps to point out the individual aesthetic needs of the patient.
Contemporary imaging technologies allow the patient to preview and evaluate the expected results. Together with our specialists, you will determine the shade, shape, and appearance of the veneers and receive your customised treatment.
After agreeing on the treatment plan, our specialists will prepare your natural tooth by minimally reshaping it to provide the best fit for the veneer.
If the treatment involves direct composite resin veneers, our specialists will apply an appropriately shaded composite to the teeth. In addition, extra layers of composite may help to build the veneer to the correct shape, length, and form to match the neighbouring teeth or to establish the desired outcome.
Our specialists will put finishing touches on your veneers using burs and polishers to create a vital, natural, and lifelike smile.
If the treatment requires indirect porcelain veneers, we will take an impression (either analogue or digital) of your teeth. Our team will send this impression to our modern dental laboratory where highly skilled and trained technicians will professionally fabricate your veneers.
Types of Dental Veneers
At our practice, we offer a variety of veneer options to meet the unique needs and preferences of our patients. The four main types of veneers we offer include traditional porcelain, prep-less, mini, and composite resin veneers.
Traditional Porcelain Veneers
These are thin pieces of ceramic material (thickness as less as 0.3-0.5 mm) which are bonded on the teeth with suitable adhesive systems.
Generally, dental veneers address smile imperfections related to the colour, shape, and alignment of the teeth.
They can assist in “smile makeover” with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth, and may eliminate the need for more extensive treatments. The major advantages of porcelain veneers are minimal intervention (grinding) of teeth, excellent aesthetic performance, and excellent mechanical strength.
Prep-less Porcelain Veneers
In selected clinical cases, it is possible to improve the aesthetics of the smile using porcelain veneers without removing structure of the existing tooth. The name of these restorations is prep-less veneers.
The veneer covers the entire front surface of the tooth and commonly also extends over the back of the tooth. There minimum thickness can be as less as 0.1 mm, about as much of a thickness as a contact lens. This treatment option may be the right solution for patients that desire an improvement of their smile and have natural teeth without extended decay or discolouration.
Mini-Veneers
These are partial ceramic (porcelain) veneers that do not cover the entire front surface of the tooth. Quite often they are prep-less veneers. They replace missing parts of the tooth without the need of removing additional tooth structure. They can restore chipped teeth, small diastemas (gaps) between teeth or small inconsistencies in the shape of selected teeth.
Composite Resin Veneers
This type consist of composite resin that is bonded on the tooth surface. Your dentist will apply appropriately shaded composite resins in layers on your tooth surface. A successful application of the composite layers then allows the veneered tooth to have the correct shape, length, and form and match the neighbouring teeth. They are an attractive and relatively inexpensive alternative to ceramic veneers. The name of this procedure is “bonding”.
