Porcelain & Composite Veneers in Richmond

One of our most popular cosmetic and restorative treatments is the beautiful and accurate placement of custom-made porcelain veneers. The process is simple, taking only two appointments to carry out. The result? A long-term and natural-looking solution to the cosmetic niggles that have caused you to fall out of love with your teeth.

A Personalised and Natural-looking Solution for Your Smile

The creation of porcelain veneers is an art. Our dentists and dental technicians work hard to make sure our patients’ veneers exceed their expectations in every way.

We can use veneers to repair a single tooth or to perform a full smile makeover. We use digital planning techniques to generate a mock-up of what you can expect your smile to look like once the veneer is in place, so you can see the result before treatment has even started.

What Can Veneers Do for My Smile?

Veneers can be used to rectify the following concerns with a tooth or teeth:

Cracks and chips.
Restoring a tooth that’s out of shape with neighbouring teeth.
To give your smile symmetry and harmony.
To improve the shade of a tooth (when teeth whitening isn’t appropriate).

Why Is Porcelain the Best Material For a Veneer?

Porcelain is considered a premium material in the world of dentistry. It is almost aesthetically identical to real tooth enamel, making porcelain veneers the most favourable type of veneer (as opposed to composite veneers) for restoring unsightly teeth.

Another advantage of porcelain is that it’s highly stain-resistant, unlike composite resin (used for composite bonding), which is. If you’re someone who enjoys teeth-staining food and drink on a regular basis, we recommend a veneer, as this will remain stain-free for much longer than composite resin.

Will My Veneer Stay in Position?

A very strong adhesive is used to place the veneers over the top of the front surface of your teeth. This will ensure they stay firmly in place when you’re doing everything including eating, speaking, kissing, and smiling. When a veneer is well looked after, it can last for over 10 years.
