Get Your Smile Back with Cosmetic Veneers
If you suffer from minor structural or cosmetic issues with your teeth then cosmetic veneers may be beneficial to improve their overall appearance. Cosmetic
veneers have a long history in successfully resolving minor cosmetic issues, and the current designs are more lifelike, reliable and convenient than
ever before.
Whether you suffer from unsightly cracks, chips, gaps, tooth discolouration or minor misalignment these issues can undermine your confidence and, unfortunately,
make you reluctant to smile. Thankfully cosmetic veneers provide a viable way to get the stunning smile you desire and deserve. They are even suitable
if you would like to extend short or “stubby” teeth or simply would like to correct stains that don’t respond to professional teeth whitening.
Cosmetic veneers are considered a conservative treatment option, meaning they require few adjustments to your teeth – only a small layer of enamel is removed
to apply them. They are individually sculpted for your mouth and smile expectations. At About Smiles we will help you set realistic smile goals and
provide high quality options to deliver a lifelike and immediately confidence boosting transformation.
Our Available Veneer Varieties
We offer two varieties of veneer – porcelain and composite. Both options require you to keep up your regular oral hygiene practices to properly maintain
(i.e. flossing and regular brushing). However, they do involve slightly different advantages and procedures.
Porcelain Veneers – These are fitted over three appointments. In the first appointment we create a digital mock of your teeth and the lab prepares
a diagnostic model of how the veneers look. They are then tried on your teeth for shape, colour and fit until you are happy with the look. Then, at
the second appointment, we prepare the teeth by carefully removing a layer of enamel before fitting your temporary veneers. At the third appointment,
the final veneers are fitted onto your teeth.
Porcelain is a very good option because it has a true colour, it is highly resistant to stains (such as from wine, tea and coffee), it mimics lifelike
aesthetics accurately and, when maintained correctly, can last up to 15 years or longer.
Composite Resin Veneers – Composite veneers are created from engineered resin and are a thinner option than porcelain. This provides two advantages:
less enamel needs to be removed from the structure of the tooth prior to bonding and they can be made and fitted in a single appointment.
Composite options will last on average between four and eight years. This is because they are less durable than porcelain, and being a porous resin they
are more susceptible to stains and chipping. However they cost significantly less and can be removed and replaced as necessary, making them perfect
for smaller applications.
