Veneers are often made up of thin porcelain covering the tooth’s front. Veneers are generally used to enhance a patient’s smile by closing gaps, straightening the look of the tooth/teeth and improving the colour of the tooth/teeth. The preparation of the natural tooth is kept to a minimum, and the veneer is bonded to the natural teeth. Porcelain can be substituted with composite bonding to create a veneer which is just as white and durable but at a third of the price.
Dental Veneers can be used for a cosmetic result or they can be used for an aesthetic result. By aesthetic result we mean we can make the teeth look natural. Cosmetic results aim for the perfect smile.
Each patient has their own ideas of how they want their teeth to look. This is all discussed with the patient and a mockup of the end result is shown to the patient. The laboratory will wax up the teeth to the final result (changes can be made at this stage).
