One treatment, several concerns

Thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth — colour, shape, size and alignment together.

Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front of your teeth.

They can address several cosmetic concerns at once — discoloured, chipped or slightly misaligned teeth — using materials and techniques chosen so the result looks and feels natural alongside your existing teeth.

What they fix

Concerns a veneer can address

  • Discoloured teeth

    Veneers cover stained or discoloured teeth, including staining too deep for whitening to shift.

  • Chips and cracks

    Chipped or cracked teeth are concealed, restoring an even edge across the smile.

  • Gaps and slight misalignment

    Veneers can close gaps between teeth and mask slight misalignments without orthodontics.

  • Irregular shape or size

    Misshapen or uneven teeth are evened out, improving the balance of the whole smile.

The process

From consultation to follow-up

  1. Consultation

    We assess your oral health, discuss your cosmetic goals and determine whether a veneer is the right solution for you.

  2. A personalised plan

    We select the shade and shape, considering your facial features, skin tone and existing teeth, then take precise measurements and impressions.

  3. Placement

    A small amount of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer, which is then bonded and adjusted for a comfortable fit and proper bite.

  4. Aftercare and follow-up

    Care instructions, habits to avoid, and a follow-up appointment to check the result and make any final adjustments.

Common questions

Questions about veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth, transforming their colour, shape, size and overall appearance.

Porcelain is non-porous, unlike natural enamel, so a porcelain veneer resists staining and is less likely to discolour over time.

A veneer requires minimal removal of natural tooth structure — a small amount of enamel to accommodate the shell — which preserves more of your healthy tooth.

The process is typically completed in just a few visits, which makes it a convenient option for a smile transformation.
