Veneers Northern Beaches

Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or a resin composite and can be bonded to the front of teeth to improve their shape, colour, size, and alignment. They are used to help create a straight, symmetrical, white smile.

Where braces straighten teeth, veneers help to cover other embarrassing aesthetic problems including:

• Teeth discoloured from root canal treatment, stains caused my medications, excessive fluoride or large resin fillings
• Worn down teeth
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
• Teeth with large gaps between them

The benefits of veneers

• A natural-looking smile.
• Don’t usually irritate gums
• Need minimal tooth shaping
• Painless to fit
• Stain-resistant.
• No special cleaning required
• Last up to 15 years
• Less expensive than crowns and braces

Veneers aren’t for everyone

Veneers aren’t always suited to everyone. If you clench and grind your teeth; have unhealthy, weak teeth or not enough enamel on the tooth surface, then your dentist may recommend other options.
