What are porcelain veneers?
For chipped, cracked or stained teeth which are otherwise healthy, porcelain veneers provide an excellent solution to achieve a brilliant and natural smile. Porcelain veneers are fixed to the front of your existing teeth providing a customisable shape, colour and position to match your mouth, complexion and personality.
Porcelain veneers retain the strength and stability provided by your existing teeth yet ensure the appearance is, in a word, perfect. There is minimal disturbance to the underlying tooth. This is unlike more drastic cosmetic procedures such as dental crowns or implants.
What is involved in putting in porcelain veneers?
One of the best things about porcelain veneers is that there is only minor modification required to the natural tooth. In comparison, dental crowns remove the entire top section of tooth, whereas dental implants remove the entire tooth and root. Porcelain veneers remove a minimal amount of your tooth and the new veneer covered tooth will last for years and years into the future. If needed. porcelain veneers can be removed prematurely and replaced to adjust the changing shape of your mouth.
What should I look out for when getting porcelain veneers?
Veneers take some skill to match your mouth and surrounding teeth.

Having a natural smile is as important as having good looking teeth. You want to be flashing your new natural looking teeth at every opportunity!
What steps are involved in getting porcelain veneers?
After an assessment to check your suitability for porcelain veneers, inserting porcelain veneers is typically a two-step process.
