Porcelain Veneers
What are veneers?
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth and is held in place by a special strong bond.
| Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth. Veneers, if maintained, should last more than 10 years. Unlike most bonding materials, veneers will not change colour over time. |
| Should you consider Veneers? Veneers provide an alternative to traditional crowns. They cover unattractive gaps, and can mask stained mis-shapen or crooked teeth. If these conditions apply to your mouth, veneers may be your best option. |
| Benefits of Veneers • Very little preparation of the tooth is needed • A minimal amount of the natural tooth must be altered to fit the veneer. |
• Veneers can be matched to make even the darkest teeth appear to be bright white.
• Minor twists and overlaps, as well as small gaps, can be quickly corrected with the use of veneers.
