Veneers

The history of dental veneers dates back many decades.

Once used solely as a temporary means of making actors’ smiles look great on-screen, veneers have become a long-term solution to repairing a tooth that’s become decayed, stained or damaged. Made from custom-shaped porcelain, your veneer will resemble a real tooth, fitting perfectly over the top of your existing tooth and giving your entire smile a new lease of life.

The veneers process at Rosewood Dental Clinic: what’s involved?

Initial chat: patients come to us with a range of different concerns, and there is no single solution to fit everyone. Understanding what your unique treatment expectations are is the first step to achieving a fantastic result.

Preparation: veneers require at least two appointments. During the first appointment, we prepare your tooth by removing a small amount of the tooth enamel, so as to accommodate the thickness of your new veneer. We will take digital scans of the tooth and neighbouring teeth, which allow the dental lab to make a veneer that’s a perfect match for your smile, in terms of size, shape and colour.

Fitting: the exciting part! When you attend to have your veneer fitted, you’ll get to see how your new veneer looks before it is fitted.
Finishing touches: any small minor touches are made once we bond the veneer securely to your tooth.

Veneers: how do they benefit me?

Adaptable: from treating discolouration, decay and chips, to closing gaps in your smile – veneers are a high-quality multi-purpose solution.

Long-lasting option: veneers offer a durable answer to repairing a tooth. Your veneer could last for as long as 8-10 years. Here at Rosewood Dental Clinic, your dentist will outline exactly how to take care of it.

Made from carefully shaped porcelain: porcelain is the perfect material from which to create a veneer as it resembles real tooth enamel, which reflects light in a particular way. It’s this kind of detail that means veneers yield a highly authentic result.

A restoration made for you: veneers are a bespoke treatment, so your new restoration will be a great match for your smile.
