What are they?
about veneers
Dental veneers are thin pieces of dental porcelain or composite resin that’s adhered directly on the surface of teeth to ultimately improve the appearance of teeth. Veneers are typically used to replicate the natural look of teeth by covering the front of your teeth. They are fully customised to meet the needs and requirements of each patient.
Dental veneers are a quick, affordable and easy way to get a ‘perfect smile’. Veneers offer patients the option of concealing the imperfections of their teeth and drastically improving their smile in a matter of days. With the right maintenance protocols in place, dental veneers are typically able to last up to 10 years.

Why you may need dental veneers?
Many of us want to flash beautiful smiles but are concerned about chips and gaps in front teeth, discolouration, mild misalignment etc. Dental veneers can help address some of these concerns to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
You may be suitable for dental veneers if you are looking to:
- Restore one or multiple chipped teeth, and want a longer lasting solution over dental fillings
- Have whiter teeth but are not suitable for chemical teeth whitening procedures due to deep stains from medications like tetracycline
- Improve the appearance of oddly-shaped teeth such as teeth that are jagged, scalloped, or “triangular teeth” that leave gaps near the gumline
- Enhance the look of teeth worn down by acidic food and abrasion
- Fix gaps in between teeth, also known as diastema
- Fix the appearance of mild misalignment
- A combination of the above.
