Veneers are very thin shells of porcelain which are custom made to fit over the visible surface of your tooth.
They provide the ideal way of treating severely discoloured, chipped, cracked or unsightly teeth and offer a long-lasting, natural looking way to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.
One of the key advantages of veneers is the speed at which they can be used to transform your smile. Rather than you having to wait while longer treatments take effect, veneers can create a beautiful new smile in just a couple of visits to our practice.
