Porcelain Veneers explained

A porcelain veneer covers mainly the visible front surface of a tooth. It may be considered for selected concerns involving colour, small spaces, minor fractures, worn edges or tooth form.

Veneers do not suit every tooth or every bite. The condition of the enamel, the amount of tooth preparation, existing restorations and habits such as clenching must be assessed first.

01
Assessment and design
The teeth, gums, bite and expected change are evaluated. A digital or physical preview may be prepared where appropriate.
02
Tooth preparation
The required amount of preparation is determined individually. Some cases require more preparation than others.
03
Impression and temporary stage
An impression is taken and temporary restorations may be used while the veneers are produced.
04
Try-in and bonding
Fit, shade and bite are checked before the veneers are bonded to the teeth.

Points considered in veneer treatment

Conservative planning

The plan aims to preserve sound tooth structure while creating the required space for the restoration.

Ceramic appearance

Shade, surface and form are selected to suit the neighbouring teeth and the patient.

Case selection

Enamel, bite, gum health and habits are reviewed before veneers are recommended.

Maintenance

Daily cleaning, protection from damaging habits and regular reviews are required after treatment.

Questions about Porcelain Veneers

These answers provide general information. A dentist must examine you before giving individual advice.

Who may not be suitable for veneers?

Advanced crowding, insufficient enamel, active gum disease and certain clenching or biting habits may make another option more appropriate. Assessment is essential.

Do veneers require tooth preparation?

The amount varies by case. Some teeth require limited preparation, while others may require a different restorative approach.

Can I see the proposed design first?

A digital design or temporary preview may be used in suitable cases. This is a planning aid and not a guarantee of an identical final result.

How should veneers be maintained?

Daily brushing and interdental cleaning, avoiding damaging habits and attending regular dental reviews are recommended.
