Veneers

Dental veneers are a fast, effective cosmetic treatment for a long-lasting, radiant smile.

What are veneers?

Dental veneers are micro-thin layers of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of front teeth. Veneers can be used to improve the shape of irregular teeth, cover discolouration and close small gaps between teeth.

For a bright, natural-looking smile we match the colour and shape of the veneers to your teeth.

Are dental veneers right for me?

Veneers are a convenient and versatile cosmetic dental treatment to transform your smile. Dental veneers can be used to:

• Cover staining or discoloured teeth
• Close gaps between teeth
• Repair minor chips or cracks
• Correct irregular or uneven teeth

During your initial consultation, your dentist will advise you if dental veneers are right for you.

What is the treatment for dental veneers?

Your dentist will begin by regularising the surface enamel of the teeth to be treated. The preparation of the tooth surface is important to correctly receive the veneer. The treatment for dental veneers generally requires little to no anaesthesia.

A digital scan of the teeth to be treated will then be taken, from which your veneers will be custom-made. At Springburn Dental Care, we use advanced CEREC technology that allows us to make your veneers on-site. Your treatment can be conveniently completed in one visit.

When your veneers have been prepared, your dentist will check their form, colour and visual appearance. The veneers are then bonded permanently in place over your front teeth.

Once your veneers have been set in place, further polishing may be required for optimal appearance.

How long do veneers last?

With the correct care, dental veneers can potentially last for 10 or more years. After your treatment, your dentist will advise you on how to look after your veneers for a long-lasting, radiant smile.
