Porcelain veneers are an irreversible and popular cosmetic dental option that can instantly and dramatically enhance your smile.

Using veneers, your dentist can correct aesthetic issues such as stains, minor gaps, slightly overlapping teeth and chipped teeth.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are not considered a permanent treatment, as they usually require replacement in the future. However, they can last for over a decade and as long as 15 years as long as you take care of your teeth properly.

Over time, the living tooth and gum tissue around the veneers will undergo changes that may require you to replace your veneer.

Are dental veneers right for me?

Your dentist will first assess your teeth to see if porcelain veneers are the best option to enhance your smile.

Veneers can improve your appearance by:

• Covering stained or discoloured teeth
• Closing gaps between teeth
• Hiding worn enamel
• Repairing minor chips or cracks
• Correcting deformed teeth

Is the procedure painful?

You shouldn’t feel any discomfort. Dentists usually numb the tooth and the surrounding area using local anaesthesia before carrying out the treatment.

In most cases, this amount of enamel removed is so tiny that most patients do not require anaesthesia.
