Improve the appearance of worn or discoloured front teeth
What are ceramic veneers?
Ceramic veneers are laboratory made facings for teeth which are bonded into place. Often very little tooth needs to be removed to facilitate veneers making them minimally invasive.
Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of discoloured or worn front teeth. They are also required to improve the guidance of the bite to protect back teeth from wear when the front teeth have been worn or damaged.
Modern veneers
The advent of high-strength dental ceramics allows us to restore the full beauty of damaged teeth with materials that mimic natural tooth enamel closer than ever before.
The additional advantage of these materials is that they can be etched and bonded to the surface of the teeth, virtually restoring its full original strength and becoming a highly versatile replacement for lost or damaged tooth structure.
FAQs
How long do veneers last?
Normally a veneer can last from 10 – 20 years. However particularly weak teeth, or patients who experience a lot of decay, may find they fail more quickly.
How are veneers fixed in?
Veneers are bonded to your teeth using special dental adhesives that are both strong and biocompatible.
