Frequently Asked Questions
What dental issues can veneers treat?
Veneers are most commonly used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, chipped, worn down, slightly misaligned, or have gaps between them. They are a cosmetic solution that can help create a more balanced, uniform smile without the need for more invasive procedures. While they don’t correct the underlying issues, they provide a smooth and natural-looking surface that blends with your other teeth.
How long do veneers last?
Veneers are designed to be durable and long-lasting. With good daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits, they can typically last anywhere from 7 to 15 years. The lifespan of a veneer depends on several factors, including the material used (ceramic tends to last longer than composite), the patient’s bite, and habits such as grinding or biting hard objects. Over time, they may need to be replaced due to wear or changes in the surrounding teeth.
Are veneers a permanent treatment?
Yes, dental veneers are considered a permanent treatment because they involve removing a small layer of enamel from the front surface of the tooth to allow the veneer to bond securely. Once this enamel is removed, it cannot be restored. While the veneers themselves may eventually need to be replaced, the decision to receive them is irreversible. It's important to have a detailed consultation to understand whether this treatment is appropriate for your long-term oral health and aesthetic goals.
Tailored Application
What to Expect from Treatment
The veneer process typically involves a detailed assessment to determine suitability and discuss goals. After preparing the tooth surface, impressions are taken and used to fabricate a thin ceramic or composite shell, custom-shaped to suit your smile. Once complete, the veneer is bonded securely to the front of the tooth.
This treatment is generally chosen for cosmetic improvements and may be part of a broader smile assessment. Veneers are not suitable for every situation, so an individualised plan is essential to determine the best approach for your dental and aesthetic needs.
