Veneers are a thin shell of material bonded on the front surfaces of teeth to improve their shape/size or cover certain discolorations.
Veneers can be made of ceramic or resin. They are tooth- coloured and their shapes and contours can be customised to improve the appearance of the natural teeth that they cover. For ceramic veneers, it is often necessary to shave off a thin layer of the tooth enamel before the veneers can be placed.
Veneers can be placed over 1 or 2 appointments and provide a relatively quick solution to improve an unaesthetic smile. However, each case must be assessed thoroughly to ensure that veneers are the most appropriate treatment modality.
A the Melbourne Smile Clinic in Northcote, a full oral and dental assessment is carried out first to ensure veneers are the most appropriate options if you want to improve the appearance of your smile. All options will be discussed by our dentist to ensure you can make an informed decision.
