Your Treatment Journey
Before you begin, you’ll have the chance to speak with our friendly treatment coordinator, who will explain the process and answer your questions.
Step 1: Consultation
At your consultation, your dentist will listen to your concerns and carry out a full assessment. Digital scans, photographs, or X-rays may be taken. Where possible, we can show you a preview of how veneers could look, often called a “trial smile”, so you feel confident about your decision.
Step 2: Treatment Appointment
- Composite veneers can often be completed in a single visit, with the material shaped directly on your teeth.
- Porcelain veneers usually involve two visits – one for preparing impressions and temporary veneers, and another for fitting the custom-made porcelain shells.
- Temporary lab veneers are used for short-term wear while waiting for a permanent solution or for a special occasion.
Your comfort is always our priority, and anaesthesia can be offered if any preparation is required.
FAQs
Do veneers damage my natural teeth?
Only a very small amount of enamel is adjusted, if needed, to ensure a comfortable fit.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years with good care, while composite veneers may last around 5–7 years.
Can veneers be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose veneers alongside teeth whitening or dental bonding for a complete smile makeover.
What is the difference between composite and porcelain veneers?
Composite is applied directly to the teeth and is more affordable, while porcelain is made in a lab, offering extra durability and a more translucent, natural finish.
