Enhance your smile with Porcelain & Composite Veneers at About Smiles
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite resin placed on the front of teeth to change their appearance. They may be considered for concerns such as staining, chips, gaps, or irregular shapes. Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth, but outcomes vary between individuals and no result can be guaranteed.
Porcelain veneers – made in a dental laboratory, designed to resemble enamel. They may be more resistant to staining but require some removal of tooth structure.
Composite veneers – applied directly by the dentist, usually in one visit. They may be less resistant to staining but can often be repaired or replaced if needed.
Our dentists provide veneers treatment plans tailored to individual needs. Treatment options, risks, recovery, and costs will be discussed in consultation so that you can make an informed decision. Outcomes vary between individuals.
STEP ONE
Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your concerns.
STEP TWO
Treatment Plan
A written plan will outline available options, risks, costs, and aftercare.
STEP THREE
Placement
Veneers are bonded to the teeth as agreed in your treatment plan.
STEP FOUR
Aftercare
Regular reviews and care are important, as veneers may require maintenance or replacement over time.

You may experience mild sensitivity when preparing your teeth, but the process is generally comfortable. We use gentle techniques and can discuss options if you have concerns.
