COSMETIC DENTISTRY · PATIENT GUIDE
A patient’s guide to materials, smile planning and everyday care.
A SMALL RESTORATION
Veneers are thin porcelain or composite coverings bonded to the front of teeth. They can change the appearance of selected teeth while being planned around the rest of your smile.
Start with a veneer consultation to discuss your goals and whether veneers are suitable.
Colour or persistent staining
Small chips or worn edges
Uneven tooth shape
Minor gaps or spacing
Photographs from our clinic’s veneer collection show the individual restorations and their arrangement on a dental model.
MATERIALS
Custom ceramic veneers are made in a dental laboratory. Your dentist plans the shade, shape and tooth preparation before bonding them.
Discuss appearance, maintenance and the amount of preparation required.
Tooth-coloured resin is applied and shaped at the clinic. It may be an option where a direct restoration suits your goals.
Discuss maintenance, staining and the possibility of future repairs.
Minimal-preparation options may suit some teeth. They are not appropriate for every case; your dentist will explain what preparation your plan requires.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Share what you want to change. Your dentist checks the teeth, gums and bite.
Discuss shape, shade and material, then prepare the teeth where needed.
Review fit and appearance, bond the veneers and check your bite.
Decay or gum disease needs attention before cosmetic treatment. Significant misalignment or heavy grinding may change the recommended approach.
Sometimes whitening or orthodontic treatment is a more suitable starting point.
No. The condition, position and remaining enamel of each tooth influence the plan. A consultation helps identify suitable options.
That depends on the teeth you want to change and how they relate to your smile. There is no single number that suits everyone.
Material, bite and daily care affect longevity. Ask your dentist about maintenance and future repair or replacement rather than treating any lifespan as a guarantee.
