Bright, even smile after porcelain veneer treatment at Dentistree in Camden

Veneers can be used to address a range of cosmetic concerns — including discolouration that doesn't respond to whitening, small chips, uneven edges and minor gaps. At Dentistree in Camden, we offer porcelain and composite (resin) veneers, and treatment always starts with an honest assessment to make sure veneers are the right approach for your goals and your teeth.

Veneers are a long-term commitment

Most porcelain veneers — and many composite veneers — involve some reshaping of the natural tooth surface, which is a permanent change. Once a tooth has been prepared for a veneer, it will generally always need a veneer or crown going forward. Veneers can chip, stain (composite more so than porcelain) or come loose over time and may need maintenance or replacement after a number of years. Habits like nail-biting, grinding or biting hard objects can significantly shorten their lifespan. Because of this, it's important to understand the trade-offs and consider more conservative options first where appropriate, such as whitening, bonding or orthodontic treatment.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Porcelain veneers are made in a dental lab from ceramic material and are typically placed across two appointments. Composite veneers are built up directly on the tooth in one visit. Porcelain tends to last longer and resist staining better, while composite is generally more conservative and easier to repair.
Veneers don't 'ruin' teeth, but most types involve some permanent reshaping of the natural tooth. Once a tooth has been prepared for a veneer, it will generally need a veneer or crown going forward. Your dentist will explain how much (if any) preparation is needed in your case.
Lifespan varies. Porcelain veneers often last many years with good care, while composite veneers may need repair or replacement sooner. Habits like grinding or biting hard objects can shorten their lifespan.
Modern materials and careful planning can produce very natural-looking results. Where appropriate, we can provide a trial smile or mock-up so you can preview the proposed look before committing to treatment.
Not always. Issues such as significant misalignment, severe grinding, gum disease or extensive decay should usually be addressed before — or instead of — veneers. Your dentist will give you an honest assessment.
Depending on the concern, alternatives can include teeth whitening, composite bonding, orthodontic treatment (such as clear aligners) or crowns. We'll discuss the most conservative option likely to achieve your goal.
