Steps to Your New Veneers
-
Assessment
- We conduct a detailed smile assessment and design process
- We take impressions of your teeth to enable smile design of personalised veneers
-
Minimal preparation of the tooth surface
- This does not usually require any numbing of the area as such a small amount is removed!
- We take a new impression of the teeth after preparation
- Temporary veneers help protect the prepared tooth and improve aesthetics and function whilst your veneers are being made!
-
Final placement of custom-made veneers
- After ensuring you’re happy the appearance is exactly what you expected, your personalised veneers are fitted using modern adhesive technology
Frequently Asked Questions

How long do veneers last?
Typically, 10-15 years with appropriate care.
