Veneers
Veneers can be a solution to problems where a single tooth has been discoloured or even fractured. They are also widely used on multiple teeth to create a “Hollywood Smile”.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain (ceramic) veneers are customised to mimic the appearance of a well formed tooth. It is a very thin shell placed over the top of existing teeth to modify aspects of the appearance of the teeth. An advantage of porcelain veneers is their ability to reflect light and match surrounding natural teeth.
Composite resin veneers
Composite veneers can be built up directly in your mouth, with the veneers able to be bonded and moulded to the front of your teeth often in a single dentist visit.
Veneers of composite material tend to be more economical than porcelain but they are less durable and may be in need of replacement more often. Composite material is usually a combination of micro-fillers, such as glass beads and resin plastics.
