Veneers

About facings (veneers)

Facings, also known as veneers, are a popular cosmetic treatment to enhance the appearance of your smile. They are ultra-thin layers of porcelain or composite that are bonded to the front of teeth to correct imperfections such as:

• Discoloration that cannot be treated with whitening
• Small gaps between teeth
• Chipped, worn, or uneven edges
• Mild misalignments or irregular shapes

Types of veneers we offer:

• Porcelain veneers: Highly aesthetic, durable, and resistant to staining. They reflect light like natural enamel and can last 10–15 years with proper care.
• Composite veneers: A more affordable option, created directly in the clinic in one visit. They can be repaired easily if chipped, though they are slightly less durable than porcelain.

The process:

1. Careful planning and digital smile design to ensure veneers suit your facial features.
2. Minimal preparation of the teeth (sometimes no preparation is needed).
3. Custom fabrication of porcelain veneers in the lab, or direct application of composite veneers in the clinic.
4. Bonding and polishing for a natural, seamless result.

Veneers are a conservative way to achieve a harmonious, confident smile with minimal tooth reduction.
