Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials that are attached to the front surface of your teeth for a smile makeover. They can conceal a wide range of imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, discolouration, and more. They are a quick and easy way to dramatically change the colour, shape, size, or length of your teeth.

No special care is required to keep your veneers in top shape. All you will need to do is follow a good standard of oral hygiene to maintain your veneers, which includes:

  • Brushing twice a day
  • Flossing or using interdental brushes
  • Visiting the hygienist and dentist for regular check-ups and to keep a check on your veneers
  • Having regular dental cleanings
  • Patients who clench or grind their teeth at night may need to wear a custom-made splint overnight to protect their veneers from wear or breakage
