Porcelain Veneers
Beautiful, Natural Smiles, Individually Designed
Whether you're concerned about chipped teeth, worn edges, gaps, uneven shapes or long-standing discolouration, porcelain veneers can transform your smile while preserving its natural character.
At Shaftesbury Dental Care, every veneer is individually designed to complement your facial features, natural smile and personality. Our aim is never to create a smile that looks artificial or overdone. Instead, we create beautifully balanced, natural-looking results that allow you to smile with confidence.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells that are carefully bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to improve the shape of uneven teeth, repair chipped or worn teeth, close small gaps, improve the appearance of stubborn discolouration and create a more balanced, harmonious smile. Every veneer is individually crafted to complement your smile, ensuring a result that looks both natural and elegant.
Designed Around Your Smile
No two smiles are the same. That's why we never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
During your consultation, we'll take the time to understand what you'd like to achieve before carefully assessing your teeth, bite and facial proportions. Some patients are looking for subtle improvements that nobody else notices. Others would like a more noticeable smile enhancement. Whatever your goals, your treatment will always be tailored to you.
A Conservative Approach to Cosmetic Dentistry
Beautiful dentistry should also be responsible dentistry.
Where possible, we believe in preserving healthy natural tooth structure and recommending the least invasive treatment appropriate for your smile.
For some patients, porcelain veneers provide the ideal solution.
For others, composite bonding or teeth whitening may achieve the desired result with less treatment.
We'll always explain every suitable option honestly, allowing you to make an informed decision that's right for you.
The Veneers Process
Consultation
We'll discuss your smile goals, examine your teeth and explain whether porcelain veneers are the most appropriate treatment for you.
Treatment Planning
Every veneer is carefully planned to complement your facial features, smile and overall appearance. Our aim is always to create a result that enhances your smile while still looking completely natural.
Preparation
Where necessary, a small amount of enamel may be prepared to allow your veneers to fit comfortably and naturally.
Fitting Your Veneers
Once your bespoke veneers have been created, they are carefully bonded into position before any final adjustments are made to ensure they look beautiful, feel comfortable and function naturally.
Crafted with Our In-House Dental Laboratory
Many of our porcelain veneers are produced in close collaboration with our state-of-the-art in-house dental laboratory, located within the practice. Working closely with our experienced dental technicians allows exceptional attention to detail, accurate shade matching and beautifully natural results. This close partnership between our clinicians and laboratory team helps ensure every veneer is crafted to complement your smile as naturally as possible.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain has long been regarded as the premium material for cosmetic dentistry because it offers:
• Outstanding natural aesthetics
• Excellent colour stability
• Resistance to everyday staining
• Strength and durability
• Light-reflecting properties that closely resemble natural tooth enamel
With good oral hygiene and regular dental examinations, porcelain veneers can provide many years of confident smiling.
Looking After Your Veneers
Looking after veneers is much like looking after your natural teeth. We recommend:
• Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Cleaning carefully between your teeth every day
• Attending regular dental examinations
• Regular hygiene appointments
Looking after your gums is just as important as looking after your veneers, helping to maintain a healthy, natural-looking smile for years to come.
FAQs
Will my veneers look natural?
Yes. Every veneer is individually designed to complement your existing smile, facial features and natural tooth colour. Our aim is always to create results that look beautifully natural rather than obviously treated.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, porcelain veneers can often provide many years of reliable service.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain is highly resistant to staining from everyday foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine.
Are veneers right for everyone?
Not always. Depending on your smile goals, treatments such as composite bonding or teeth whitening may be more appropriate. We'll discuss every suitable option during your consultation.
