Veneer

Veneer

Veneer is a thin layer of porcelain permanently bonded to the front side of your teeth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect and repair a damaged tooth surface.

Veneers can take away the lengthy orthodontic (braces) treatment. You can get a beautiful look in a short time by placing veneers on your front teeth even if they are quite crooked and miss-shaped.

Veneers are custom designed to each of your tooth by the dental laboratory. Veneers look natural and fit with your face, smile and personality. Our dentist places veneers with high precision to your teeth in order to make them very strong, resisting discoloration and chipping and last long usually from 5 to 12 years or longer.

We can repair cracked, chipped, and discoloured teeth and misaligned teeth, providing a straighter, more uniform with veneers. These types of restorations are sometimes called dental bonding or cosmetic bonding.

Veneers can be suitable for your teeth to:

reduce spaces or gaps between your front teeth
restore broken or chipped teeth
cover stained fillings
eliminate stained or discoloured teeth that can't be bleached
hide crooked teeth

Advantages of veneers:

beautiful front teeth in a short period of time
only a small amount of tooth structure is removed during the procedure
biocompatible
does not contain metal
healthy and natural look
one of the most aesthetic restoration in dentistry

Limitations

Veneers are suitable only for the front lower or upper 6 or 8 teeth.
Veneers are not suitable for the pre molar or molar (grinding) teeth.
If you had bruxizm (grinding teeth) or bad habitual biting, we would recommend crowns because veneers might break.
