We attach thin shells of composite or porcelain to the front of your teeth, correcting discolouration or an irregular position. Composite veneers are fitted in a single appointment.

What are veneers?

Veneers are wafer-thin shells that we attach to the outside of your teeth. They follow the natural contour of your tooth and cover imperfections without any loss of your own tooth tissue. The result is an even, radiant smile that looks completely natural.

A veneer resolves the following situations:

  • Discolouration from, for example, red wine, coffee, tea or tobacco.
  • A crooked or irregularly shaped front tooth.
  • A gap or space between the front teeth.
  • A chipped or damaged piece of tooth.

Composite veneers

Composite veneers consist of tooth-coloured filling material that our dentist models directly onto your teeth. You sit for one appointment and leave the practice with a noticeably improved result. The treatment starts with a colour consultation. We then apply the composite layer by layer and cure each layer with a special lamp.

Benefits of composite veneers

  • Finished in a single appointment.
  • Affordably priced compared with porcelain veneers.
  • Colour and shape easy to touch up at a later appointment.
  • No preparation needed; your own tooth stays completely intact.

Drawbacks of composite veneers

  • Last five to seven years on average, shorter than porcelain.
  • More prone to discolouration with regular coffee or tea consumption.
  • Composite wears faster than ceramic material.

How the treatment works

Drawing up the treatment plan

Our dentist carries out a short oral examination and discusses your wishes. Together we decide which shade best matches your own teeth and draw up the treatment plan.

Preparing the teeth

With composite veneers we remove nothing from your teeth. The material bonds directly to the existing tooth surface, so your own tooth stays completely intact.

Applying the composite layer by layer

After a bonding layer, we apply the composite in thin layers. We cure each layer with a special lamp, so the veneer sits firmly and gets exactly the right thickness and shape.

Shaping and polishing

Once all layers have been applied, we shape the veneer into the desired form and polish the surface to a natural shine. After the treatment you can eat and drink anything straight away. Take care with hot drinks while the anaesthetic is still working.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of high-quality ceramic that a dental laboratory makes to measure for you. The material is exceptionally strong and virtually resistant to discolouration, even after years of drinking coffee and tea. This treatment involves two appointments. During the first, our dentist takes a precise impression of your teeth and we choose the colour together. After two to three weeks the shells are ready from the lab and we fit them permanently.

Benefits of porcelain veneers

  • Last ten to fifteen years on average, well over twice as long as composite.
  • Virtually resistant to discolouration from coffee or tea.
  • Ceramic has an exceptionally natural appearance.
  • Stronger and more wear-resistant than composite.

Drawbacks of porcelain veneers

  • Higher cost than composite veneers.
  • Two appointments needed for the final result.
  • A minimal amount of tooth tissue must be removed.

How the treatment works

Choosing the colour and treatment plan

Our dentist carries out an oral examination and discusses your wishes. Together we choose the colour and draw up the treatment plan for both appointments.

Preparing the teeth

Porcelain veneers are half a millimetre thick. For this, we remove a minimal amount of your tooth surface. Our dentist then fits a temporary restoration to protect your teeth until the permanent shells are ready.

Taking an impression and making the veneers

We take a precise impression of your teeth and send it to the dental laboratory. There, the technicians make your veneers in the agreed shape and colour. After two to three weeks they are ready to be fitted.

Fitting permanently

On the day of fitting, we remove the temporary restoration. After treating the tooth surface, we apply a bonding layer and attach the veneers. After the treatment you can eat and drink anything straight away. Take care with hot drinks while the anaesthetic is still working.
