What Is a Dental Veneer?
Veneers are thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made in a dental lab to match the colour and shape of your teeth.
Our Southport dentists use veneers to create a more consistent smile for our patients. Your dentist will bond the restoration to the front of your natural tooth to change the symmetry, shape, or colour of your smile.
If cared for properly, dental veneers can last for many years.
How Veneers Work
Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth which will be used to create your custom veneers. Once your veneers have been made, they will be bonded to the fronts of your natural teeth.
Made from extremely thin pieces of porcelain, veneers are custom-shaped to match your tooth. The porcelain imitates the natural translucency of tooth enamel to provide a natural look and feel.
Features of Veneers
If you are looking to alter the shape of individual teeth or the evenness of your whole smile, you may want to consider dental veneers as a less-intrusive alternative to dental crowns.
Conditions that dental veneers can resolve include worn, crooked, or discoloured teeth. They can also reduce unwanted spacing and change the size of your teeth.
