Porcelain & Composite Dental Veneers in Auckland & Hamilton

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to enhance the appearance of teeth by covering their front surface. These shells are bonded to the teeth, changing their colour, shape, size, or length. Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin materials. Porcelain veneers are the most popular as they are more stain-resistant and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. In contrast, composite resin veneers are thinner and require less tooth surface removal before placement.

3 Reasons Our Patients Choose To Get Dental Veneers?

  2. Functional Benefits: Veneers can strengthen teeth weakened by wear and improve bite.

  3. Psychological and Social Benefits: Veneers are not just about improving the appearance of your teeth; they are about boosting your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional interactions. With a brighter, more attractive smile, you'll feel more at ease in any situation, whether it's a job interview or a social gathering. You'll be able to confidently express yourself, knowing that your smile is making a positive impression.

FAQs

How long do veneers last?

With proper care, dental veneers can last between 10 to 15 years. Good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups, are essential for extending the life of your veneers. Avoiding habits like biting nails, chewing on hard objects, and using teeth to open packages can also help maintain the life of your veneers.

What types of dental veneers are available?

Porcelain Veneers are highly desired for their natural appearance and durability. They resist stains better than composite resin and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. However, they are more expensive and require more tooth surface preparation.

Composite Resin Veneers, on the other hand, are a more cost-effective option. They require less tooth surface removal and can be applied in one visit, unlike porcelain veneers, which usually require two. However, they are less durable and may need to be replaced more frequently.

Will the tooth veneer colour match my other teeth?

In short, yes! Matching dental veneers to your natural tooth colour is a meticulous process that we take very seriously. It involves several steps to ensure a seamless and natural appearance. We use a tooth colour guide from Vita, a trusted name in the industry, to ensure the perfect match.

How long will it take to get dental veneers?

The dental veneer procedure typically spans several stages, usually over a few weeks, and involves multiple appointments.

  • Initial consultation and evaluation. 1 hour

  • Preparation. 1 to 2 hours

  • Fabrication. 1 to 2 weeks

  • Final bonding and fitting. 1 to 2 hours

Who is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

Ideal candidates for dental veneers are individuals who:

  • Have good overall oral health.

  • Have sufficient tooth enamel to support the veneer.

  • Do not have gum disease or severe tooth decay.

  • Do not grind or clench their teeth excessively, as this can damage veneers.

  • Are looking to address cosmetic dental issues and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene.
