If you’d like to improve the size, shape, colour, or alignment of your teeth, veneers offer a fast, effective way to achieve a brighter, more confident smile. This popular cosmetic treatment can give your teeth a natural, flawless appearance while concealing imperfections.
What are dental veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct a wide range of concerns, including:
- Chips and cracks
- Discolouration or staining
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor misalignment
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
Before treatment, your teeth must be free from decay and gum disease to ensure the best results.
Who can benefit from veneers?
Veneers may be right for you if you have:
- Tooth discolouration that whitening can’t fix
- Worn or damaged teeth
- Minor chips or cracks
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether porcelain or composite veneers are the most suitable option for your needs. While veneers improve appearance, they don’t treat underlying dental problems, so any oral health issues must be addressed first.
Same-day composite veneers
Need a quick smile refresh for an upcoming event? Composite veneers can often be completed in a single visit, usually in around two hours. While not as durable as porcelain, they are a more affordable choice.
Our dentists will carefully design the shape and shade of each tooth before applying the composite material in thin layers, sculpting it for a perfect fit, and hardening it in place for a polished, natural look.

Not typically. Your dentist will usually numb the area before the treatment for added comfort, but since the procedure is minimally invasive, there is very little discomfort, if any.
No, veneers don’t ruin your teeth. While your dentist will remove a thin layer from the front of your tooth to make room for the veneer, the veneer is then permanently cemented in place. This strengthens your tooth, makes it resistant to staining, and improves the look of your smile.
Eventually, the bond between your veneer and the tooth can weaken and the veneer can come off. This will depend on the type of veneer and how well you care for it.
If your veneer does fall off, keep it and take it to your dentist. If it is still in good condition, your dentist may be able to reattach it. Otherwise, they can create a new veneer to replace the old one.
