What it is
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made in a dental lab and bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are planned with a digital preview and a trial smile so you can see the proposed shape before any tooth is prepared.
What happens, step by step
01
Consultation, photos and scan to discuss what you would like to change.
02
Digital design and a trial smile placed over your teeth to preview the shape.
03
Minimal preparation of the teeth and a final scan sent to the lab.
04
Veneers checked, adjusted and bonded, followed by a review visit.
Aftercare
Treat veneers like natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss, and avoid biting very hard objects. A night guard may be advised if you grind your teeth.
Common questions
Is it reversible?
Most veneers need some enamel to be removed, so the treatment is usually not reversible. We explain this before you decide.
How many veneers will I need?
Can veneers stain?
General information only. Your dentist will explain what applies to you at your consultation.
Other treatments
Treatments are often combined in one plan. These are the ones patients ask about most.
