Porcelain Veneers
The most life-changing cosmetic treatment in dentistry — a custom set of ultra-thin porcelain shells that re-shape your smile in two visits.
Engineered to look exactly like you — only better.
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that bond to the front surface of your teeth. Done well, they correct colour, shape, alignment, size and proportion — all at once — without anyone being able to tell.
They're the right answer for stains that whitening can't touch, chipped or worn edges, slightly crooked teeth, gaps you've always wanted to close, or a smile that just doesn't match how you feel inside. Most patients have 6–10 veneers (just the teeth that show when you smile).
Modern veneers are remarkably conservative — we remove only a tiny layer of enamel, often none at all. The result looks natural, feels like your own teeth, and lasts 15+ years with normal care.
Your veneer journey
Smile design
We talk through what bothers you, photograph your smile, and design the new look digitally — including shape, length, and shade.
Try it on first
Before any prep, we make a temporary 'mock-up' you can see and feel in your mouth. Nothing is committed until you love the design.
Prep & impressions
We gently shape the front of each tooth, take a digital scan, and place beautiful temporary veneers so you leave with a smile.
Bond & polish
Two weeks later, your custom porcelain veneers are bonded into place, polished to a brilliant shine, and your bite is checked for comfort.

Your questions, answered.
Do veneers ruin your teeth?
No. Modern veneer preparation is minimal — typically 0.3–0.5 mm of enamel — and we never expose dentin if we can avoid it. The underlying tooth remains healthy and intact.
How long do they last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 15–20+ years. With excellent home care, regular cleanings, and a nightguard if you grind, even longer.
Can I just whiten my teeth instead?
If staining is your only issue, whitening is the right starting point. Veneers shine when you also want to change shape, length, or close gaps that whitening can't address.
Will they look fake?
Not when done right. Good veneers have subtle variations in shade and translucency that mimic natural enamel. Most people who see your smile won't be able to tell.
