If you’re an avid reader of gossip magazines, you love reality television or you read the newspapers on a daily basis, you will probably be familiar with celebrities showcasing flawless sets of bright white teeth. Porcelain veneers have become incredibly popular and they are renowned for creating extremely glamorous smiles; however, it is possible to create a much more natural look and we use the latest veneer treatments to achieve this outcome for those who prefer a more subtle smile.

The ins and outs of veneers

Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells, which are stuck onto the natural tooth surface to create a flawless smile. Veneers are light and they are placed on top of the teeth in a similar way to false nails on natural nails. Once in place, the veneers look like lustrous, bright natural teeth.

Veneers are a popular treatment for people who want to transform the look of their smile and they provide a solution for patients with worn, discoloured and chipped teeth.

With most treatments, it is necessary to prepare the teeth before the veneers are placed; this involves taking away a very fine layer of the tooth surface to make space for the veneers and ensure that they are a comfortable fit. Veneers are custom-made for each individual patient and they are created based on exact impressions of your teeth.
