Veneers

A dental veneer is a thin, custom-made shell bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape, or alignment. Veneers can fix chips, stains, small gaps, and uneven teeth, and they usually need only a minimal amount of enamel removed, sometimes none at all.

With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or more. Avoiding hard biting and wearing a night guard if you grind helps them last.

We remove only a minimal amount of enamel, sometimes none at all, depending on the case. We always take the most conservative approach that gives a good result.

Not when they're well designed. We match the shape, shade, and translucency to your features so they look like natural, healthy teeth.

It depends on how many teeth show when you smile, commonly the front four to eight upper teeth. Some patients need just one or two to fix a chip or gap. We design around your smile, not a fixed package.

Porcelain resists staining better than natural enamel. Good habits keep them looking bright, though the natural teeth around them can still stain.

If your teeth are healthy and just dull, whitening may be enough. If you have chips, gaps, or shape issues, veneers do more. We'll recommend what fits your goals and budget.
