Dental veneers
Why people consider veneers
Throughout your life, your teeth have experienced the daily wear and tear of chewing, grinding and staining from foods and drinks. Over time, you may notice surface discolouration, small chips, uneven edges or gaps.
Veneers are an elective dental procedure that may assist in improving the appearance of affected teeth. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are bonded to the tooth surface during a dental procedure.
A clinical assessment is necessary to determine suitability and long-term implications for your oral health.
The dental veneers process
If veneers are appropriate for you, the process typically involves:
An initial consultation and examination of your teeth
Discussion of treatment goals, risks, and alternative options
Preparation of the teeth, including removal of a small amount of enamel
Placement and bonding of the veneers, followed by post-treatment care
Your dentist will guide you through each stage and provide detailed care instructions to support long-term function and appearance.
What risks are involved with dental veneers?
All dental procedures carry potential risks. With veneers, these may include:
- Tooth sensitivity following enamel removal
- Chips or fractures in the veneer material over time
- Gum irritation or inflammation
- Irreversible changes to natural tooth structure
Your dentist will explain these risks in full as part of your consultation, along with the expected maintenance and any long-term considerations.
Dental veneers vs dental crowns
Dental veneers and dental crowns may both be used for restorative or cosmetic purposes.
A dental veneer covers only the front surface of the tooth, whereas a crown encases the entire tooth.
Your dentist will advise which is more appropriate based on the condition of your tooth structure.
Dental veneers vs dental implants
While veneers are applied to existing teeth, dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. Implants involve a surgical procedure and integration with the jawbone.
Cost of dental veneers
The cost of dental veneers can vary depending on the material used, the number of teeth treated, and the complexity of your case.
