Dental veneers are a popular choice when it comes to cosmetic dental surgery. Celebrities from Heidi Klum and Halle Berry to Brad Pitt and Denzel Washington have all had veneers fitted, and the general public are experiencing similar results to these famous faces. Macveneers are a new brand of porcelain veneer, and we at Harley Street Dental Studio in London are proud to use them.

Firstly, what are dental veneers?

Before discussing the subtle intricacies of Macveneers, we need to explain what dental veneers are in the first place: Veneers are thin shells of material, constructed from tooth coloured material, which are fitted to your teeth. Veneers can instantly alter the appearance of your teeth! They are often compared to false fingernails, but for the teeth, to help explain how they operate.

So what’s so special about these Macveneers?

Veneers can be made up from a variety of materials, the two most popular being composite and porcelain. Composite veneers are cheaper, but are also more prone to staining and less durable than the porcelain alternative. One of the selling points of porcelain veneers is that they are more natural looking. Most porcelain veneers with just four hues of colour which are only added to the top two layers of the veneer. Macveneers, in contrast, utilises up to sixteen hues and their colour is built up from the inside. This produces a veneer that is incredibly realistic in style, more so than conventional porcelain veneers. Macveneers are also completely stain resistant, compatible with dental crowns and bridges and price-wise they are even comparable to the cost of conventional veneers! Macveneers are even reported to be up to 3 times more durable than conventional veneers.  In fact, their only disadvantage is that they are a little thicker than conventional veneers.
