Veneers

What concerns can veneers address?

• Discolouration resistant to whitening.
• Chips and cracks.
• Worn or short teeth.
• Small gaps between teeth.
• Mild misalignment.
• Misshapen or uneven teeth.
• Teeth damaged by clenching or grinding (bruxism).

The veneers process at DNTL Smiles & Wellness

• Smile consultation & digital scan: We begin with a thorough examination and smile assessment, including 3D scans and high-resolution images to design your bespoke treatment plan.
• Tooth preparation: A very thin layer of enamel is removed (if needed) to allow your veneers to bond naturally and sit perfectly in line with your other teeth. This is a comfortable process, and we can use a local anaesthetic if needed.
• Custom veneer creation: Your veneers are crafted with precision by our professional dental technicians, ensuring a perfect colour match and shape for your smile.
• Final fitting & bonding: Once you’re happy with the design, we permanently bond your veneers to your teeth, giving you an instantly brighter, more even smile.

Veneers are ideal for healthy teeth that need cosmetic enhancement. If your tooth is weakened, decayed, or has had a large filling, a crown may be more suitable.

How long do veneers last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years, while composite veneers typically last 5–7 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene will keep your veneers and natural teeth in top condition.

Different types of veneers we offer

• Porcelain veneers: Durable, highly aesthetic, stain-resistant.
• Composite veneers: Quick and cost-effective, made from tooth-coloured resin.
• No-prep veneers: A minimally invasive option requiring little to no enamel removal.
• PMMA veneers: Advanced in-house digital veneers — durable and reversible.

We’ll recommend the best option for your smile goals during your consultation.

Caring for your veneers

To keep your veneers looking their best:

• Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Floss daily.
• Avoid biting hard objects like pens or ice.
• Wear a night guard if you clench or grind your teeth.
• Visit us regularly for hygiene and check-ups.
