Porcelain Veneers are a popular treatment used to improve colour, shape, size, bite and provide structural integrity to the teeth. They are a thin, tooth-coloured layer that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are often used to create a more balanced and even smile or replace missing tooth structure, while maintaining as much of the natural tooth as possible.
Before placing a veneer, the dentist will design and plan your ideal smile based on the final aesthetic outcome you are hoping to achieve. They will then prepare the surface of the tooth in a way that will achieve this design. An impression or digital scan of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneer will be created. The dentist will also record the shade of your surrounding teeth to ensure the veneer/s matches naturally.
Once the veneer is ready, you’ll return to the practice to have it carefully bonded to the tooth. The dentist will check the fit and appearance, and make minor adjustments if needed, before securing it in place with a strong adhesive. The result is a smooth, natural-looking finish that restores the appearance of the tooth.
Veneers are used in a variety of situations. They can improve the look of discoloured teeth that cannot be whitened, repair chipped or worn edges, and help close small gaps between front teeth. They may also be used to create the appearance of straighter teeth where there are minor irregularities in alignment. Veneers can also help cover old composite fillings that have become discoloured or uneven over time.

While veneers are suitable for many patients, they may not be the right choice in all cases. If you tend to clench or grind your teeth, have significant enamel loss, or existing large fillings, your dentist may suggest alternative treatments. Certain health conditions that expose the teeth to acid or reduce saliva flow may also increase the risk of veneer failure. Maintaining a good standard of oral hygiene is essential before and after porcelain veneer treatment.
To care for your veneers, it’s important to follow a thorough cleaning routine. This includes brushing with a soft toothbrush, using non-abrasive toothpaste, and cleaning between your teeth with floss or interdental brushes.
Habit patterns such as nail biting or pencil chewing should be avoided, as well as biting into hard food, to prevent fracture of the veneer. Use of an occlusal splint or night guard at night and sports mouth guard during any form of contact sport is recommended.
With proper care and regular check-ups, veneers can offer a reliable and natural-looking solution for enhancing your smile over many years.
