Give your teeth a new look
Porcelain Veneers are probably the most aesthetic means of creating a more pleasing and beautiful smile. They are thin, tooth coloured porcelain shells that are custom made to bond to the front surface of your teeth. Porcelain Veneers are excellent for treating chipped, discoloured or misshaped teeth, especially in front teeth. They are an ideal option for improving shape, length, size and tooth colour.
Porcelain Veneers require a minimal amount of tooth reduction and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a crown (capping). It is important however that the underlying tooth is strong, healthy and not heavily filled. Once placed, the Veneers are very strong and will resist most of the forces placed upon them by a normal diet.
Preparation and Laboratory work will usually take approximately one week for Porcelain Veneers. Between your preparation visit and the insertion visit, most patients will not require a provisional restoration. Usually Porcelain Veneers do not necessitate the use of a local anaesthetic. However, for those patients who are particularly sensitive or anxious, a local anaesthetic is advisable.
