Achieve your “Hollywood” smile in days
Veneers are thin custom-made porcelain shells that can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth. A veneer can also be used to make a broken or chipped tooth look whole again and sometimes be used to close gaps between teeth.
What are veneers?
Veneers are designed to fit discreetly over the surface of teeth, like false fingernails over nails.
They are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth, making them a favourite of many Hollywood stars to achieve that dazzling smile.
What is involved in getting a veneer?
Our dental specialist/ dentist will find out the details of your medical and dental history, go through a consultation and examination and take a digital X-ray of your teeth to enable a thorough and detailed diagnosis. We will examine your teeth to determine if veneers are the appropriate solution for you. Good quality enamel and good gum health is required for successful bonding of the veneer to your tooth.
In order to place the veneer on the tooth, some enamel may need to be removed from the front of the tooth surface. The amount of enamel removed is minimal and will be the same as the thickness of the veneer to be fitted, so that the tooth stays the same size. An impression of the tooth will then be made. The colour of your surrounding teeth will be matched on a shade guide to make sure that your veneers will look natural.
Before the veneer is permanently cemented to your tooth, your dentist will check to see if the colour and fit are suitable, and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the proper fit.
Next, your tooth will be cleaned, polished, and etched to prepare it for a strong bonding process. Then, a special adhesive is used to bond the veneer to the tooth. A light is applied to the veneer, which activates the cement to cure and bond the veneer in place. Thereafter, final adjustments, if necessary, are made.
The entire treatment can be completed in 4 to 5 days, and will involve about 2 to 3 visits to the dentist.
Depending on the situation, you may be required to return for a follow up visit to ensure that the veneers, your gums and teeth are doing well.
Veneer teeth are no stronger or weaker than your own natural teeth. With a proper home care oral regime and regular professional maintenance every 6 months, veneers will last longer. Research has showed that veneers can last up to 10 to 15 years. The success rate for veneers is about 85% over a period of 10 years. This means that out of 100 veneers procedures done, about 15 of them need to be repaired or done again.

Frequently asked questions
Are there any alternatives to wearing braces if I want to get my teeth straightened faster?
Orthodontic treatment typically requires 12 to 24 months to complete.
Alternatively, veneers may be considered if one is unable to attend regular sessions over 12 to 24 months at the dentist. The entire process takes only a few days to complete.
