Our patient-focused approach prioritizes your needs, ensuring personalized treatment plans that align with your unique goals.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry for those looking to make aesthetic enhancements to their smile.
Dental veneers are thin, personalised 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.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Aesthetic Improvements:
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 results.
Types of Veneers: Composite vs. Porcelain
Dental veneers are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry for those looking to make aesthetic enhancements to their smile. There are two main types of dental veneers, porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Let’s take a look at the difference between the two types.
Porcelain Veneers:
Porcelain veneers are thin, personalised 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 CAD-CAM technology and working closely with our in-house lab technicians allows us to customise every detail of your veneers, ensuring a design that perfectly complements your natural facial features.
Together with our specialised team, you will design your new smile. Our comprehensive consultation process allows you to discuss your treatment goals, and work with us to determine the desired colour, shape, and overall aesthetics of your veneers. One of the many benefits of CAD-CAM technology is that it allows us to present you with a 3D render of the design, for you to preview and evaluate, so you can visualise your ‘new smile’ and make any aesthetic changes before embarking on your journey.
Composite Veneers:
Composite veneers are a restorative dental treatment that involves applying a composite resin material to the front surface of teeth. The dentist meticulously layers and shapes the resin to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Composite veneers offer a conservative approach to cosmetic enhancement. The resin is bonded directly to the enamel, providing improvements in tooth colour, shape, and alignment. The procedure typically involves minimal to no tooth preparation.
Durability and Maintainance
Proper care and regular dental visits can significantly extend the life of composite and porcelain veneers. Your restorations should be cared for just as you would your natural teeth.
Porcelain Veneers:
- Durability: Porcelain veneers are more durable than composite veneers and can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. They are highly resistant to staining and chipping.
- Maintenance: Maintenance involves routine dental visits and diligent oral hygiene practices. Porcelain veneers are less likely to require frequent repairs but should be protected from excessive force. Using a night guard can help protect them from grinding or clenching during sleep.
Composite Veneers:
- Durability: Composite veneers typically last between 5 to 7 years, depending on the quality of the material and the patient’s oral hygiene habits. They are more prone to chipping, staining, and wear compared to porcelain veneers.
- Maintenance: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential. Good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice daily and flossing, help maintain the veneers. Avoiding habits that can damage the veneers, such as biting nails, chewing ice, or using teeth to open packages, is important. Composite veneers may need occasional polishing and repairs.
Before and Afters
Veneers Cases
Veneers
Before
Our patient came to us wanting to enhance the overall appearance of her smile. Her teeth were discoloured, misaligned, slightly worn-down in areas, and had an uneven smile line. She wanted to have her teeth as minimally prepped as possible, and to have a very natural-looking smile that would 'enhance' her face and complement her natural facial features.
After
These results were achieved with 10 minimally invasive feldspathic porcelain veneers. By minimally prepping the patient's tooth structure and fabricating ultra-thin, semi-translucent porcelain veneers, we were able to create a very natural-looking, life-like result for our patient.
