Veneers

The choice between composite and ceramic veneers depends on your budget and aesthetic goals.

Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth, similar to composite fillings. They are a more affordable short-term option, but less durable than ceramic. Composite veneers require more frequent maintenance, may lose their shine over time, and often need to be polished or replaced due to discolouration.

Ceramic veneers offer a more natural appearance as they better replicate the light-reflecting properties of real teeth. They are more durable, resistant to staining, and require less maintenance, making them a more cost-effective choice over time. However, they are more expensive initially and involve at least two visits. After the initial appointment, your custom veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory, typically taking 2 to 4 weeks. In the meantime, we will provide you with temporary veneers until your new ones come back to us ready for placement.

It really depends on the material used (composite or ceramic) but in general you should get between 10 to 20 years of wear from your veneers. A large benefit of veneers is that if problems do arise, they are very quickly and easily fixed. However, just like any dental work, you will see the benefit last longer if you maintain a regular oral hygiene routine which includes brushing at least twice daily and flossing once a day, along with regular visits to our clinics.

Pricing on veneers varies from clinic to clinic and it is important to keep in mind that the quality of work and degree of complexity plays a big part in the pricing.
