How do Veneers Work?
Veneers work by covering the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance, creating a natural-looking smile. They are custom-made to fit your teeth and enhance their colour, shape, and alignment.
- Made of thin, durable porcelain or composite resin
- Bonded to the front of the teeth after minimal tooth preparation
- Hide imperfections like stains, chips, or gaps
- Provide a long-lasting, stain-resistant solution
- Offer a quick and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment
Types of Veneers

- Composite resin veneers require more maintenance but are quicker to apply
- Proper oral hygiene is essential for maximising the lifespan
- Avoiding hard food reduces the risk of chipping or cracking

Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers permanent or reversible?
Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic solution because they require removing a small amount of tooth enamel. Once applied, they cannot be reversed.
Can you get veneers if you have gum disease?
It’s not advisable to get veneers if you have active gum disease, as untreated issues can affect the longevity of the veneers and overall oral health. It’s important to treat gum disease first.
Are veneers a good option for people with weak teeth?
Veneers can be a good option for people with weak teeth, but they may require additional support or bonding techniques to ensure they stay securely in place. A consultation with your dentist is essential.
Can you whiten your teeth if you have veneers?
You cannot whiten veneers with traditional teeth whitening treatments, as they do not respond to whitening agents. However, veneers themselves can be custom-made to achieve the desired shade.
Can veneers help with teeth that are too short or uneven?
Veneers are an excellent solution for teeth that are too short or uneven, as they can be customised to improve length, shape, and symmetry, giving you a more balanced smile.
