Porcelain Veneers

A thin porcelain shell bonded to the front of your tooth — durable, stain-resistant, and very natural-looking.

What they fix

Porcelain veneers are good for chips, uneven edges, gaps, discolouration that whitening won't touch, and minor misalignment — essentially reshaping the visible part of the tooth.

What's involved

  • A small amount of enamel is prepared to make room for the veneer
  • An impression or digital scan is taken and sent to a ceramist
  • Veneers are bonded into place at a second visit, usually 1–2 weeks later
How long do they last?

10–15 years is typical with good care, and many last longer.

Is the preparation reversible?

No — because a small amount of enamel is removed, veneers are a permanent commitment. We'll make sure you're confident before we start.
