Your Most Confident
Smile, Crafted
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin (0.5–0.7mm) shells of dental porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They correct colour, shape, proportion, and alignment in one treatment — without orthodontics or extensive preparation. The porcelain mimics natural enamel's translucency and light-reflective properties, making the result indistinguishable from your own teeth at their very best.
Veneers address a wide range of cosmetic concerns in a single course of treatment:
- Stained or discoloured teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Uneven or asymmetric teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Slightly crowded or overlapping teeth
- Teeth that appear too small for your smile
The Veneer
Advantage
Undetectable Results
The porcelain mimics natural enamel's light-reflective and translucent properties — impossible to distinguish from real teeth, even in direct light.
Stain Resistant
Unlike natural enamel, dental porcelain is highly resistant to coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining agents that discolour natural teeth over time.
Long-Lasting
With proper care, porcelain veneers last 15–25 years — far longer than composite resin alternatives, which typically require replacement every 5–7 years.
Minimal Preparation
Only 0.5mm of enamel is removed from the tooth surface — significantly less than crowns, which require reshaping the entire tooth.
From Consultation
to Perfect Smile
01
Cosmetic Consultation
We discuss your aesthetic goals, assess suitability, and use digital imaging to preview your anticipated result. No commitment required at this stage.
02
Smile Design
We design the shape, size, and colour of your veneers with your facial features and natural colouring in mind. A trial smile mock-up lets you preview the result before any preparation begins.
03
Tooth Preparation
A thin layer of enamel (0.5mm) is gently removed from the tooth surface to make room for the veneer. Temporary veneers are placed while your permanent ones are crafted.
04
Custom Fabrication
Your veneers are sent to a skilled ceramist who hand-layers the porcelain for depth, translucency, and colour variation — indistinguishable from natural teeth.
05
Bonding
Veneers are tried in, any final adjustments made, then bonded permanently to your tooth surface using a light-cured adhesive. The result is immediate and transformative.
Common Questions
Do veneers damage my teeth?
A small amount of enamel is removed during preparation — this is permanent, so veneers are a lifelong commitment to the treatment. That said, the enamel removed is minimal and the tooth surface is fully covered and protected by the veneer. The preparation is far less invasive than a crown, which reshapes the entire tooth.
How long do veneers last?
15–25 years with proper care. Avoid biting nails, chewing ice, or using your teeth to open packaging. We recommend a custom night guard if you grind your teeth while sleeping. Minor chips can often be repaired without replacing the entire veneer.
Can I whiten veneers?
No — porcelain does not respond to whitening agents. This is why we match your veneer colour to your desired final shade at the planning stage. If you want significantly lighter results, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first and then matching the veneer shade to your whitened teeth — this gives you the brightest possible overall result.
