Veneer

What are dental veneers?

A dental veneer is a thin shell that covers the front of a tooth that’s stained, chipped, or cracked. Veneers are made from tooth-colored material, like porcelain, giving an imperfect tooth a completely new appearance.

 

How many types of veneer?

  • Composite : This type only the one visit. It can be quite a long appointment though depending on how many you are getting done.Composite resin veneers or teeth bondings are a cheaper, quicker, less destructive way to restore and correct more minor cosmetic problems.

  • Porcelain : This type of veneer takes two to three visits.They have a superior appearance and are most appropriate for more severe cases of discolouration, chipping, fractures, crooked, spaced and uneven teeth. Porcelain veneers resist stains from coffee, tea or smoking much better than composite veneers. They last longer and stay looking good for longer.
