Veneers

Veneers

A Simple Way to a Stunning Smile

Veneers

Veneers are a stain-resistant and incredibly strong cosmetic treatment that gives your teeth a stunning shine and natural appearance. They are made from wafer-thin porcelain that is bonded to the front of your tooth, similar to applying a false fingernail.

We can place a veneer on a single tooth, or multiple teeth, to add a uniform shape, symmetry and colour to your smile.

How we place a veneer

Once you and your dentist decide that veneers are the right treatment for you, we will make an impression of your mouth and match the colour of the veneer to your tooth’s natural hue.

When your custom made veneer is ready, we will schedule another visit where we shave away a very thin layer of enamel so that the veneer fits discreetly and tightly onto your tooth. Then they are permanently bonded into place.

FAQs

Are veneers permanent?

Yes. As long as you take good care of your veneer through proper oral hygiene and a healthy diet, there’s no reason your veneers won’t last a lifetime. However, if you consume lots of fizzy drinks, sweets and other sugary foods, and otherwise neglect your oral health, your tooth can still be susceptible to tooth decay and we may need to replace your veneer.

Does it hurt to have a veneer put in place?

At DJ Maguire Dental our aim is to make every treatment as painless as possible and to ensure you feel safe and comfortable. When your dentist performs the treatment you will likely not feel a thing, however a small handful of people may experience mild sensitivity during the procedure or for a day or two after.

How do I know if a veneer is right for me?

Generally speaking, veneers are a great option for most anyone who would like to improve the look of their teeth. However, as with any restorative treatment, there are exceptions. If we see traces of tooth decay, gum disease, destructive tooth grinding habits or acid erosion veneers may not be an option until these issues are treated. Your dentist will happily discuss all your available options.
