Veneers

• Gaps between teeth
• Discoloured teeth
• Chipped or hairline fractured teeth
• Root canal treated front teeth
• Poorly shaped or crooked front teeth

Although only minimal tooth preparation is required for porcelain veneers, the process involves more time overall. This is because a scan must be sent to a dental laboratory, which is typically about a two week processing time.

When the veneers are returned, they are checked in the mouth for fit and colour before being cemented in place permanently.

Bonded Veneers

Bonded veneers are a cost-effective way of altering the tooth's front surface, whether it is to change the colour/ shape or both. Bonded veneers are made using composite resin, the same tooth coloured material used for fillings. Usually, one visit is needed for this procedure after the initial consult, and you can instantly walk out with a new smile.

• Gaps in between teeth
• Stained or mildly discoloured teeth
• Small chips on the tooth surface

• The resin can wear and chip over time
• The resin can be prone to staining over time
• If the tooth is very discoloured underneath, it can be very difficult to get the correct colour to match the adjacent teeth.
