Are your teeth stained, chipped, or not aligned on top of each other? Veneers are a good treatment option to consider because they look like natural teeth and don’t require a major procedure. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps when braces are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

How Do Veneers Work?

A veneer is a very thin, tooth-coloured piece of porcelain (like a false finger nail, but more durable) that is bonded on top of your own tooth. Based on your needs, the shape and size of the veneers can be adjusted to make your teeth overall look longer and or closer together. You can have just one veneer fitted or a whole set, known as a smile makeover.

I had been visiting Dr Suarez at this practice for a few dental treatments and have always had a very good experience. Dr Suarez is very friendly and reassuring and caring. Highly recommended

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers

What are dental veneers?
Veneers are thin shells made of tooth coloured porcelain that are custom made and bonded to your teeth to improve their appearance (changing the colour, shape, size or length). Porcelain veneers are usually made in the lab and are more resistant to staining.
When do I need dental veneers?

Dental veneers are a great solution for people with discoloured, worn down, chipped, misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth. Porcelain Veneers are a good solution to close a gap that may exist between your front teeth.

Will my veneers be sensitive to hot and cold?

There will likely be some sensitivity to hot and cold food and beverages for a short time due to having a thin layer of enamel removed. This should disappear in a few days. Avoiding hot and cold foods is recommended for the first few days to allow the veneers to settle.

What are the alternatives to porcelain veneers?
In the event that you are not a candidate for veneers, our dentists may recommend other options for reaching your cosmetic goals. These might include:

  • Teeth whitening to reduce discolouration
  • Dental bonding for minor cracks, chips and breakage
  • Restoration with dental crowns

We work with great dental lab to develop custom veneers and other restorations.

What's the difference between veneers and crowns?

Crowns cover your teeth like a cap. A veneer is a thin shell that is applied to the front of your tooth with less damage to the tooth tissues.

Is the procedure reversible?

Because a very thin layer of tooth enamel must be removed to accommodate the thickness of the veneer, the process isn’t considered reversible.

How strong are veneers? Are there restrictions on what I can eat?

Porcelain veneers are very strong. Nevertheless, porcelain is a glass and can crack if very strong forces are applied. It is advised to avoid chewing ice, hard nuts, candy apples, popcorn. The natural teeth are often damaged by these same foods while porcelain veneers are very resilient, they aren’t indestructible.

Will my veneers change colour?
No, they will remain the same colour
