How it works

1. 01

   Smile design consultation

   Digital photos and a wax-up mock-up let you preview the final result before anything is done to your teeth.

2. 02

   Tooth preparation

   A thin layer of enamel (0.3–0.7 mm) is gently removed to create space for the veneer. Local anaesthetic ensures comfort throughout.

3. 03

   Digital impression & shade matching

   A precise scan of your teeth is sent to the laboratory where your bespoke veneers are crafted.

4. 04

   Temporary veneers

   Temporary restorations protect your prepared teeth while the permanent veneers are being made (usually 1–2 weeks).

5. 05

   Bonding & finishing

   Permanent veneers are checked for fit and colour, then bonded with dental-grade adhesive resin and polished to a perfect finish.

Frequently asked questions

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years; composite veneers 5–7 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite habits, and avoiding excessive force such as grinding.

Are veneers reversible?

Traditional veneers require minor enamel removal and are considered irreversible. However, minimal-prep and no-prep veneer options preserve more tooth structure — we will discuss which suits you at your consultation.

Do veneers look natural?

Yes. Modern porcelain veneers are fabricated to match the translucency and colour gradient of natural enamel. Most people cannot tell the difference from natural teeth.

Am I a candidate for veneers?

Veneers are suitable for healthy teeth with adequate enamel. Patients with severe decay, gum disease, or heavy grinding may need those issues addressed first. We assess your full dental health at consultation.
