Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance, colour, shape, and alignment.

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment used to correct stained, chipped, uneven, worn, or slightly misaligned teeth, creating a natural-looking and confident smile.

Types of Dental Veneers

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are highly durable and stain-resistant. They closely resemble natural tooth enamel and provide long-lasting, aesthetic results. Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are made from tooth-colored resin material. They are a more affordable option and can often be placed in a single visit. Composite veneers are ideal for minor cosmetic improvements.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers may be suitable if you have:

Discoloured or stained teeth.
Chipped or cracked teeth.
Gaps between teeth.
Worn or uneven teeth.
Mildly crooked or misaligned teeth.

A dental consultation is required to determine whether veneers are the right cosmetic solution for you.

Dental Veneer Procedure Step-by-Step:

Consultation and Smile Assessment
Your dentist evaluates your teeth and discusses your smile goals.
Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel may be gently removed to ensure a proper fit.
Custom Veneer Design
Impressions are taken, and veneers are crafted to match your natural teeth.
Bonding and Final Placement
Veneers are securely bonded to the teeth, restoring function and appearance.

Benefits of Dental Veneers:

Instantly improves smile appearance.
Natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Stain-resistant (porcelain veneers).
Minimally invasive cosmetic treatment.
Boosts confidence and self-esteem.

Caring for Dental Veneers:

Brush and floss daily.
Avoid biting hard objects.
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Attend regular dental check-ups.

With proper care, dental veneers can last many years.

Dental Veneers vs Other Cosmetic Treatments:

Dental veneers offer a fast and effective alternative to orthodontics or repeated whitening treatments for cosmetic concerns. While veneers can correct mild misalignment and discolouration, orthodontic treatment may be recommended for more complex cases.

“I was referred here after my previous dentist in Wellington stopped Denplan, and I’m really glad I made the switch. Anthony was excellent — friendly, professional, and reassuring throughout. The hygienist (sorry I’ve forgotten her name!) was brilliant too —…”
