Porcelain & composite veneers Wellington: transform your smile
Dental veneers are one of the most versatile and transformative cosmetic treatments available, capable of correcting a wide range of smile imperfections in just one or two appointments.
What can veneers correct?
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or composite resin that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers can address:
- Discolouration and staining
- Chips and cracks
- Teeth that are too small or asymmetrical
- Minor crookedness
- Small gaps between teeth
Porcelain or composite?
Porcelain veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory to exact specifications. They are highly durable, stain-resistant, and provide the most natural-looking and long-lasting cosmetic result, ideal for a significant smile transformation.
Composite veneers involve minimal alteration of the natural tooth and are a more affordable option, an excellent choice for minor cosmetic concerns where you want a quick, pain-free improvement.
Frequently asked questions
Do veneers look natural?
Because porcelain reflects light in a way that closely mimics natural tooth enamel, and because it can be precisely shade-matched to complement your skin tone, the results are remarkably lifelike.
Which type is right for me?
We tailor our recommendation to your aesthetic goals, dental health and budget. Porcelain suits patients seeking a significant smile transformation; composite suits minor cosmetic concerns where you want a quick, pain-free improvement.
How long does composite treatment take?
Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth surface in a single appointment, using tooth-coloured composite resin built up in layers and hardened with a dental light.
