Dental Veneers – Transforming Your Smile Without The Fuss
Porcelain veneers – A Beautiful New Smile without Surgery!
If you look at porcelain veneers as ‘make-up for your teeth’, you probably won’t be too far off the mark. However as well as covering a wide range of blemishes, stains, and chips, they can also be used to give the appearance of straighter teeth, making your smile feel and appear natural. Imagine, no more ingrained staining, no more buttermilk yellow teeth, and no more crooked smiles! That’s the solution that porcelain dental veneers can bring to the table.
That’s great, but what exactly are they?
Also known as dental laminates, veneers are thin shell-like pieces of composite that are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. When bonded and fitted, veneers can significantly change the shape, size, colour, and length of your teeth. All of that, without a surgical procedure in sight!
Dental veneers can be made from resin composite or porcelain materials. However porcelain veneers have a number of noticeable advantages. They can:
• Repel staining much better than composite veneers – so if you have a love/hate relationship with coffee, in that you love the buzz it gives you in the morning but hate the extrinsic staining it gives your teeth, porcelain veneers are most definitely for you.
• Simulate the light-reflecting properties that natural teeth have – Porcelain has a natural translucency and as such, makes your new smile look more realistic.
• Last longer – You wouldn’t want to go to all that effort only to find your veneers haven’t lasted would you? Well, the average lifespan of porcelain veneers is 10-15 years whereas with composites 4-7 years is the norm. Enough said!

Porcelain Dental Veneers – The Verdict!
From the initial consultation to the final fitting, this simple, easy procedure takes just a few weeks to complete. Because each veneer is individually crafted, it’s virtually impossible to tell them apart from your natural teeth. Moreover they’re the perfect way to deal with small gaps in your teeth, overlaps, and minor twists without having to resort to more lengthy, complex and costly procedures. Finally, after-care is a breeze. Regular brushing and flossing is all it takes to keep them in great condition… just like your natural teeth.
