Veneers Ryde

Everywhere you look, it seems that everyone has a perfect smile. It used to be just celebrities and film stars showing off their perfect teeth, but in the age of social media sharing and video calling, it seems that everyone has a pearly white smile. A common way that individuals will achieve a perfect smile is with the help of porcelain veneers. These are thin shells of porcelain placed on the front of the teeth to help change the alignment, shape and colour of your teeth.

It can replace the need for multiple cosmetic treatments and allow you to achieve your dream smile in just 2-3 visits. Veneers are commonly used to address poorly aligned teeth, gaps, chips, cracks, thinning enamel and discolouration that cannot be addressed with teeth whitening.

An alternative to porcelain veneers would be composite veneers, which is a cost effective treatment designed to replicate the results but for a fraction of the cost. Rather than use thin shells of porcelain that are custom designed for your smile, we apply resin material directly to your teeth. This is shaped as required, either by hand or with the help of a mould that we inject the resin into. Once we have achieved the desired shape, we can harden the resin to create a beautiful restoration in just one visit. This treatment is cheaper as it doesn’t require scans and lab-prepared restorations. It’s important to note that composite veneers typically last for 5 years while porcelain veneers can last for up to 12 years with good care.
